From Wikipedia
Sanjo (Korean: 산조), literally meaning 'scattered melodies', is a style of traditional Korean music, involving an instrumental solo accompanied by drumming on the janggu, an hourglass-shaped drum. The art of sanjo is a real crystallization of traditional Korean melody and rhythm which may have been handed down by rote generation after generation.
The drummer who beats the janggu also makes chuimsae (exclamations) in order to please the audience.
