Baraji, while preserving the folkloric forms of both Korean music and dance, is known for the exceptional improvisation and spontaneity of their performances.<\/p>\n

In traditional Korean music, Sinawi, the word Baraji is often used to describe improvised singing in harmony. Baraji\u2019s performances derive from a Korean shamanic tradition known as Jindo Ssitgim Gut. This rite is used to cleanse the spirit of a deceased person. Since ancient times, there is a Korean belief that when somebody dies, their body cannot enter the world of the dead because of the impurity of their spirit. The Ssitgim Gut washes away this impurity.<\/p>\n
