Korean Folk Song 1,2, 3

 

KOREAN FOLK SONG VOL.1, VOL.2, VOL.3

韓國古典民謠 

Han Kook Record Co., 1979, HC 200054/55/37

This series of three tapes features three outstanding female singers : Anbeech, Muk Gye-wol and Lee Eun-joo. They are accompanied by a small traditional band with zither, shawm, percussion, etc...
They sing in solo or together with  fantastic vocal technics. Unfortunately there are no information about the repertoire and regional styles. I suppose they covered different regional traditions. Only the titles are mentionned in Korean for which it is difficult to get accurate translations.
Highly recommanded if you love Korean musical culture.

I think there is a track missing on vol.2 side A or maybe it's a mistake on the cover : track A5 and A6 are the same length of time while there is only one track of that length on my copy.  Maybe those who understand written Korean would know what happened.

  2. De rien ! j'ai d'autres cassettes qu'un ami m'avait rapportées de Corée au début des années 80. Mais ça demande un travail de recherches avant de les poster vu la barrière de la langue.
