Ttamtti
In February, 2003, people who had different disability ― down’s syndrome, brain disorder, autism, develop disorder―started band named Ttamtti. In the begining, we didn’t make eye contacts with each other. The only thing we did was just looking outside of window.
But, we really wanted to do something, so we began training base rhythm of Korean traditional drum, Janggu. After that, we learned ‘Samul Nori’, Korean traditional quartet. we keep trained and finally won the first prize in ‘Domestic Physically Challenged’s Samulnori Competition’, that encouraged Ttamtti to move forward.
Since member of Ttamtti has different disability, we practiced at least 6 months to performing one music. Music was the only thing that connect and encourage Ttamtti to go on.
Ttamtti have become professional Korean traditional music team. we can hold solo concert, consisted of Korean traditional performance; Seuljanggu, Samulnori, Bongsantalchum, imechum, Yealdubal Sangmonori, etc. We were invited to several stages and events, Ttamtti challenged ‘Fusion Korean Traditional Music Genre’ in consequence of their first album ‘First Story of Ttamtti’.
Now, Ttamtti performs in various program, for example, as for ‘Concert with Animation’, we visited schools and shared message that we can do anything despite disability, we received good reactions. Ttamtti has been planning various concerts form connects local to local, from physically challenged people to common people. Through music, Ttamtti is going to become a role model for physically challenged people.
