Gagok Grupo musical & Artista musical Lista

Gagok (Korean: 가곡; Hanja: 歌曲) is a genre of traditional Korean vocal music, derived from jeong-ak, for mixed female and male voices. Its origins date back to the sijo sung poetry enjoyed by the aristocracy in the Goryeo period (10th-14th century). The genre evolved overtime, reaching its current form (sakdaeyeop) in the late Joseon dynasty. Slower styles, such as mandaeyeop and jungdaeyeop have now disappeared. Gagok is considered one of the most refined forms of Korean court music and was designated a national cultural heritage in the 1960s and an UNESCO intangible heritage in 2010.
