| Description |
[National Intangible Cultural Heritage, Republic of Korea]
Jejudo Island is called Samdado (Island of Three Abundances: Stones, Wind, and Women).
Folk songs of Jeju are chiefly divided into those associated with farming, fishing, rites, those sung by women or children, and vulgarized miscellaneous ones.
A feature of folk songs of Jeju is the large number that are associated with work and women. They also include many local dialects. They feel more doleful than those of Gyeonggi-do, and many of them are laments about broken hearts. |
