I have been collecting for some time Traditional Korean Folk Music records, I have some from North Korea but I cannot find what I have on records on YouTube so I cannot post anything so I am posting some South Korean Folk Music because on YouTube I can find some that I have on record like Hwang Byungki.

Hwang Byungki who died in January 2018 was a virtuoso of a traditional Korean instrument the kayagûm a 12 string instrument very much like a zither, but not a zither. Hwang Byungki specialise in a type of Korean Folk Music called the Sanjo which is purely instrumental and very intricate and also very delicate and it was specifically developed for the kayagûm between 1890-1891 by Kim Chang-jo. Sanjo itself is in a Sub-Genre of Traditional Korean Folk Music, the Sub-Genre is called Minsogak but unlike pure Sanjo which is instrumental Minsogak also includes singing. With Hwang Byungki there is no singing.

Hwang Byungki "Kayagûm Masterpieces Vol. 4 - Spring Snow" released in 2001 on C&L Music.

The below contain five movements they are:

I. "Spring Snow: Calm Morning"
II. "Spring Snow: Peacefully"
III. "Spring Snow: Mysteriously"
IV. "Spring Snow: Humorously"
V. "Spring Snow: Excitedly"

Oosie, I used to have a Chinese version of this same instrument here (apparently I was in San Francisco with too much money in my pocket and wandered into a music store).

With your post as an introduction to what it's supposed to sound like here's Luna Lee with what it's not supposed to sound like but you get a good view .. multitracked...

and solo....

Incredible! Also I add that Luna Lee version of "Green Onions" in my opinion is superior to the Booker T and The MGs version.

As I commented I also have a nice collection of Traditional Korean Folk Music records from North Korea but I cannot find anything on YouTube that I have on records.

But the below record is one of my favourites in my collection:

"Let Us Sing Of The Potong River Banks - Famous Korean Songs 17" it is a beautiful 10" piece of solid vinyl, not sure what the 17 is, there are not 17 songs there are 8 songs, on Side A 4 songs and on Side B 4 songs, so perhaps the 17 is that it's Vol. 17 and there are 16 others out there that I need to get, there is no date on the sleeve that tells me when this was released, but it had to be released between 1950 and 1996 this because it's released on Choson Raekodo Records aka Korean Gramophone Records which was from 1950-1996 the Official State Record Company of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea aka North Korea, in 1996 they changed the name of Choson Raekodo Records to something else that I cannot remember but tragically stopped producing vinyl records and went with releasing just CDs.

Also the below I got because the situation that North Korean State Ministrys have their own individual music ensembles appeals to my sense of the absurd, I have never even played the below record though because I have a hatred of any type of Brass Bands and also I have the fear that IF I listened to it it could brainwash me and within approx 48 hours I will have become a Communist

The Brass Band of The Ministry of Social Security "Revolutionary Songs" again it's a beautiful 10" piece of solid vinyl, again no date on the sleeve when it was released but it is of course also released on Choson Raekodo Records aka Korean Gramophone Records.

The tracklisting is full on subversive:

Side A:

I. "Patriotic Song"
II. "March of Guerillas"
III. "The Song of The Parliamentary Sovereignty"
IV. "The Song of Decisive Battle"
V. "The Song of Revolutionary Army"

Side B:

I. "The Song of General Kim II Sung"
II. "The Internationale"
III. "The Song of Freedom"
IV. "The Song of Red Banner"
V. "The Song of General Mobilization"

Here is Luna Lee with her version of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall"....she NEEDS to do a version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky"

I think David Gilmour and Co. would approve and at 2 minutes and 14 seconds she gets very interesting.

She's all over the map with her song choices, but she is meticulous in mimicking the solos isn't she?
Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, BB King, nothing intimidates her.

Here's her Layla, again multitracked with two instruments for the key changes:

​

Sadly in some of her more recent vids she's starting to sing. Bad idea.

You can write to her to suggest Ghost Riders.

Dick Dale And His Del-Tones "Riders In The Sky" from the album "King Of The Surf Guitar" released in 1963 on Capitol Records. It's down as "Riders In The Sky" but it's basically "Ghost Riders In The Sky" and is credited in the song writing to Dick Dale, Don Reedman and Stanley Davis Jones, Stan Jones wrote the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky" in 1948 when he was still working for the National Park Service in Death Valley, California.

Yes her solos are very impressive.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo her singing is going to RUIN everything, she needs to be told to stop ANY singing and just continue the instrumentals. Yes perhaps should email her and suggest she does a version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky"

We see many examples of very very good instrumental players upon achieving the success they deserve, deciding "that means I can sing now". Well --- no, it doesn't mean that, sorry.

Natalie MacMaster comes to mind.

-- with her famous Uncle Buddy here. Buddy was my intro to Cape Breton fiddling 30+ years ago, he came to our festival backed by Dave MacIsaac and Hilda Chiasson. I've been to Cape Breton four times to soak up the music, there's nothing like it.
