Our rhythm that fills the stage.

The atmosphere is even hotter with exciting percussion instruments that make your shoulders flutter.

This is the site of the "Korean Culture Month" performance organized by the Korean government and the Korean Cultural Center in Argentina.

Argentine audiences respond with applause to our modern interpretation of intangible heritage performances.

[Cecilia Ciegler / Audience: I was impressed by Korean traditional music performances. I will continue to learn (about Korea). I'm very interested in Korean culture. I like the bond between Korea and Argentina.]

[CHEN JAEHYUN / Directed by K-Intangible Heritage Performance Team: We worked really hard to make the difference between Korean traditions change to the language of communion. It is a mixture of young people's passion, spirit, and artistic spirit, so I think the Argentine people will be able to fully sympathize and share it with each other.

The connection between our culture and Argentina did not end in the performance.

148 pieces of traditional crafts directly airlifted from Korea were also presented to Argentine citizens.

Argentina is showing deep interest in Korean culture to the extent that it designated "Kimchi Day" as a national anniversary for the first time in the world, and the kimchi-making workshop organized at this event was also hot with academic enthusiasm for Korean food.

The Cultural Center plans to prepare a larger event next year with the aim of regularizing "Korean Culture Month" to respond to Argentina's enthusiastic support for Korean culture.

[Han Bo-hwa / Director of the Korean Cultural Center in Argentina: I think Korean culture has taken its place in Argentina, a multicultural country. It is my wish and goal to regularize Korean Culture Month as an event to promote not only Kimchi Day but also various Korean culture. Next year, we will work with more institutions to present new and colorful events.]
