【亚洲•韩国】板索里史诗说唱 Pansori Epic Chant (2008年)

板索里是朝鲜有着丰富传统的舞台艺术的重要表现形式。这种音乐唱述由一位歌手用鼓伴奏演出。作为深受欢迎的传统艺术，其演唱的表现力，程式化的语言，剧目中的叙事以及模仿动作，使它集精英文化和大众文化于一身。在长达八小时的演唱过程中，演唱者(男性或女性)按照朝鲜农村方言和渊博的文学语言写成的剧本，进行即兴的演唱。
　　朝鲜文“板”的意思是“众人聚集之所”，“索里”的意思是“歌曲”。“板索里”起源于17世纪的朝鲜西南部，可能是萨满说唱的一种新的形式。直至19世纪末，它一直由百姓口头流传，后来有了新的文学内容而更加丰富，得到了市民精英的青睐。
　　“板索里”剧中的场景、人物和剧情都表明它根植于Joseon 时代(1392—1910)。其主题包括对家庭的忠诚、丧亲之痛和爱情。歌手需要经过长期严格训练，才能掌握各种音色，并背诵极为繁杂的剧本。许多艺术大师创造出了自己的演出风格，以独特的方式咏唱某些特殊的段落而名声大噪。

Bansori is an important manifestation of North Korea's rich traditional stage art. The music is sung by a singer accompanied by drums. As a popular traditional art, its singing expressiveness, stylized language, narrative and imitative action in the repertoire make it a combination of elite culture and popular culture. During the eight-hour singing process, the singer (male or female) improvised in accordance with the script written in Korean rural dialect and profound literary language.

"Ban" in Korean means "place where people gather" and "Soli" means "song". Bansori originated in the south-west of Korea in the 17th century, which may be a new form of Shaman rap. Until the end of the 19th century, it had been spread orally by the people. Later, it had new literary content and became more abundant, which was favored by the elite of the citizens.

The scenes, characters and plots in Bansoli show that it was rooted in Joseon's era (1392-1910). Its themes include loyalty to the family, bereavement and love. Singers need to undergo long-term rigorous training in order to master various tones and recite extremely complex scripts. Many artists have created their own performing style, singing some special passages in a unique way and making a great reputation.
