[KS] Shinawi

Greetings,

Here is a quick and random question for the music folks I know are 
lurking in these parts.

I have been listening to some examples of Shinawi and notice that in 
some live performances I have heard and also on Ahn Suk Sun's Chi Eum 
that there is a type of Shinawi performance that features solos, often, 
much like a Jazz combo playing the last tune of the night, with each 
musician taking X numbers of bars and then all coming together for the 
home stretch.

Has this always been a feature of Shinawi? Or is this a recent 
development that has to do with putting Shinawi on the concert stage? I 
suspect I already know the answer to this, but I thought I would check 
in and see if others here have looked into this development.

Cheers,

Kevin Parks
