On the DPRK – a compilation

“Sound of Horse Hooves in Mt Paektu” – Moranbong Band

Now that I have your attention, that was “Sound of Horse Hooves in Mt Paektu” performed by the Moranbong Band of DPRK.  More below.

  • Leon Allan Davis

Leon’s interest in DPRK arose out of stumbling across the Moranbong Band and DPRK music in general.  He gives a very scholarly talk on topics that interest him from time to time

  • The Reunification Song

Here are a few of my favourites from the Moranbong Band HD playlist (more later)

  • Moranbong Band – Glorious and Admirable

(featuring band leader and lead violinist Sonu Hyang-hui; the cellist is Yoo Eun-Jong)

  • Moranbong Band (DPRK) featuring cellist Yoo Eun-Jong (Song: “I Know Only You”)

“The General’s Star” (Piano solo: Kim Yong-mi)

Arirang

The desire of all Koreans for UNITY is exemplified by the song “Arirang” – a Korean folk song, often considered the unofficial national anthem of a unified Korea.

From South Korea – Yuna Kim (world and Olympic champion) skates to “Arirang” – Vancouver 2010

From DPRK (‘North Korea’) – Moranbong Band performs “Arirang”

or the New York Philharmonic if you prefer

Leon Allan Davis

Leon’s interest in DPRK arose out of stumbling across the Moranbong Band and DPRK music in general.  As with all rabbit holes, the reality is far from what we are ‘supposed to believe’ in the Jewish-controlled media..

Leon gives a very scholarly talk on topics that interest him from time to time (as per my opening link)

The Reunification Song

The Problem of North Korea

Eva Bartlett (yes – that’s the intrepid Eva K Bartlett of Gaza and Syria work)

Eva (https://ingaza.wordpress.com/) started her international investigative journalism in Gaza but (among others) has been courageously instrumental in bringing us the truth about Syria.  She recently went to the DPRK to see for herself …

Miscellaneous ‘promotional’ material – some light propaganda

Korean Socialism – Human Rights (ethnic nationalism comes to mind)

…  More from the Moranbong band … highlighting their exquisite classical talent

“Zigeunerweisen” (Gypsy Airs 1878 by the Spanish composer Pablo de Sarasate)

(Lead violinist Sonu Hyang-hui is truly world class)

“Csárdás”

… Moranbong Band ENCORE(x3)

(It’s hard to limit to just a few favourites)

“Soldier’s road” (featuring Kang Phyong-hui Guitar solo)

  • “Without a break” (Tansume) (I love the guitar work!)
  • (Kim Jong-un is an Eric Clapton fan, by the way)
  • “Mungyong Pass”
  • Ri Sol Ju: Soldiers’ Footprints

…  and did you know that Ri Sol Ju is the First Lady of DPRK (Kim Jong-un’s wife)?

Finally

The channel “푸옹 Phuong DPRK Daily” is about as authentic as you can get in explaining and promoting the idea of DPRK Juche.

  1. I just chanced upon this resource and am profoundly impressed by it! I have copied and saved the url; will visit frequently, peruse it in depth, and surely marvel at it (based on my 10-minute or so introduction today). Many, many, many thanks and admiration! In solidarity with the glory and wonder of humanity on this day that is, inter alia, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi…rhs

    • Hello Robert.

      You are most welcome and I am delighted you chanced by. As you can tell, I don’t ‘blog’ regularly. I stumbled across the fact that I could post by accidentally pressing the ‘Reblog’ button – possibly on one of Eva K Bartlett’s articles. I have just used it since, somewhat spasmodically and sparsely, as my own little time capsule. So much more could be added. Please enjoy the browse and perusal at your leisure.

      Always a delight to encounter your comments here and there – with mutual and sincere respect.

  2. Supplementary item of interest:

    • Understanding Korea Series 1-9 [8:21:42]

    this audio covers book 1 to 9 of 10. The tenth book (‘Unification’) I will have to read myself when I get time.

    The books can be found at the link:

    • Publications of the DPRK

    http://www.korean-books.com.kp/en/search/?page=book
    (see pages 7 and 8)
    I followed the PDF with the audio at speed x2.

    What struck me is that the National Socialist model of the DPRK has so much in parallel with that in Germany in the 1930s. They call it ‘Juche’ (or ‘National Socialism with Korean Characteristics’ (my analogy).
