Muak (무악(巫樂)), or Musok Eumak (무속 음악(巫俗音樂)), is the traditional Korean shamanistic music performed at and during a shamanistic ritual, the Gut.[1] It consists of singing, dancing and percussion music.

The traditional Korean shaman ritual, the Gut, is always in harmony with singing, dancing and performing music. It is not performed solely for spiritual rites, but also allows experiencing the archetype of traditional Korean music.
