Korean Folk Music Medley appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Venerated Patterns  (Listen)	Hyakuda Yukio Nyosei
Despite a history of invasions by the Mongols, Chinese, and Japanese, Korean folk music has survived and preserved many of its characteristic features, perhaps most unique being its triple meter rhythm found nowhere else in Asia. The melodies of the two most famous folk songs, Arirang and Doraji (Gathering Bluebell Flowers in the Mountains) are played by the Shakuhachi and Di to a Shamisen accompaniment Imitating the pulsing sensation of the unique triple meter.
