Korean Song and Dance Spectacular

Arirang, John S. Kim
Korean Song and Dance Spectacular

Arirang, the Korean Song and Dance Ensemble, perform an assortment of traditional Korean songs. The “Boatman’s Song,” from the Korean opera Shim Chung, is derived from a Korean folktale about a young maiden and her devotion to her blind father, whom she helps regain his sight. Other tracks of interest include the “Boat Song of Ko-Je Island,” with its rhythmic ending, and the close harmonies and beautiful vocals of the “Song of Ja-Jin-San.” Rich in artistry and musicality, this album is a valuable piece of Korean musical culture and history.
