Capturing the Spirit of Korean Music
The doyen of Korean classical music, traditional and newly composed, is Byungki Hwang. His instrument is the gayageum, which is a convex, 17-string zither with moveable bridges: a cousin of the Chinese zheng and the Japanense koto. But that is the extent of the resemblance, because Korean music is unique. The sound is more raw and deeper in pitch with inflections that echo Korean speech patterns. The classical format, sanjo, is similar to Indian ragas by increasing in tempo over the composition and in being supported by a drum, here an hourglass one, the jaggu, played with sticks on either side. The compositions of this album, however, are recent, Western influenced and occasionally avant garde; they usually begin and end slowly. One track is performed by a transverse bamboo flute, the daegeum, and another includes a 6-string fretted zither, the geomungo. Vocals are also present on some selections.The album is a well-chosen anthology of Hwang's many Korean recordings. If...

The Musical Core of Korea
This recording of the traditional folk songs peculiar to the Kyonngi District of Korea, which includes the capital Seoul, includes instrumental accompaniment by changgo (hourglass drum), piri (shawm/oboe), taegum (transverse flute), ajaeng (bowed zither), and komungo (plucked zither). [No credits are provided, but I am familiar with the sound of the instruments.] The vocalists are women, which is customary. Dancelike rhythms and ballads are sung with sensitivity and joy. Great sound, too. And as similar recordings of Korean folks songs are available, the budget price is a bonus. This album, despite the near absence of explanatory text, provides a fine introduction to the traditional musical sound of Korea, which stands far apart from its Asian neighbors of China and Japan.

Great Album, but...
The album, song compilation and voices are great. The only really really bad thing is the singers / instrument artists are NOT aknowledged or cited ANYWHERE in the CD. This is just bad practice for so many obvious reasons. The quality and talent represented here is an excellent 5 star rating, however.

Good music, but buyer beware
I bought this with two other albums, "Traditional Chinese Music" and "Traditional Japanese Music(they have similar cover art). It wasn't until I had them all on my ipod that I realized the same songs were on each album. For example:Chinese: "Massage"Japanese: "Japanese Relaxation"Asian: "Korean Melody"Three songs, attributed to three cultures, yet each song is exactly the same one. Every song on all these albums is the same way. They don't just sound similar, they are exact. And all of them have different titles.It's nice, relaxing music, just don't be fooled into buying all three. Forunately, I was able to get a refund for the extra albums through Amazon.

Korean Pop music found a voice on the 2009 Jonas Brothers Tour. Girls' Generation worked with famed American music producer Teddy Riley and Snoop Dogg to release their very first English single "The Boys" in the fall of 2011. The girls are represented by Universal Music Group as well as SM Entertainment in the United States. The Wonder Girls joined the latter half of the Disney group's US tour and continued to make their mark in the US music industry ever since. Fans get their weekly K-drama fix via the internet and South Korea's music has stepped up to the plate. WOCH-CA KBC-TV in Chicago aired South Korean news and dramas from the major networks KBS, MBC and SBS in its earlier days. So, K-Pop and dramas collectively bring people from all over the world to South Korean soil. Boy band SHINee's appeal has hit overdrive in London, while Girls' Generation made their official debut in the United States. The Wonder Girls is now jointly managed by The Jonas Group and JYP Entertainment in the United States and they have performed countless times for overseas fans. Girls' Generation (SNSD) brought "The Boys" song to Late Night with David Letterman and Live With Kelly. In February of 2011, they made their acting debut on Nickelodeon's Teen Nick movie "The Wonder Girls. South Korea had plenty of actors in Hollywood, but the Wonder Girls introduced America to the tunes of K-pop.

In updating older songs, YB keep up with the current music trends and present their fans with their best efforts. Great songs and variety are key to a successful EP, and YB sure delivered with Blue Whale.

And unlike Friedman’s lumping of J-pop into one large genre as if AKB48, X Japan (though he does use the term “visual-kei” here — more on that later), and Perfume all have the same sound, K-pop does have the luxury of that label: contemporary... Besides the fact that South Korea is motivated by economic factors (Japanese musicians don’t necessarily need foreign sales to thrive — plus, as mentioned in the lecture, kids will buy three or four copies of a single to collect all the singles or... Many artists are already mingling or collaborating with foreign musicians, itself an easy transition when K-pop sounds like the smartest, hippest pop music upgraded to 11. Where it’s already associated with anime tie-ins and appearances at comic cons, it has already failed miserably by equating music culture with otaku culture, as if the two are never one without the other. His tone borders on less-then-conversational, barely scratching the surface of popular Japanese music, while exposing his biases and the kind of thinking that makes one believe everything off one’s radar doesn’t exist at all. Preface : I think it’s great that Marty Friedman is so enthusiastic about Japanese pop music. Japanese popular music has pretty much been around as long as its American counterpart, as Friedman himself takes pains to discuss. ~Exposing the Myth of Japanese Music Phenomenon ” is partly a failure of articulation.
