ENGLISH
Lee Chun-hee is the most prominent singer of Gyeonggi minyo today and is recognised as a myeonchang (virtuoso vocalist). In fact Lee is designated by the Korean government as 'a skill-possessor of imortant intangible cultural property', and has been appointed for two terms as art director of the Folk Music Ensemble of the National Gugak Centre. Indeed when UNESCO made Arirang part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Lee was the invited singer. Gyeonggi minyo are the Korean folk songs sung by professional singers (as opposed to indigenous songs sung by commoners), coming from the Seoul-Gyeonggi geographical area. Arirang is a specific song (originally a theme tune from a 1926 film) that has become Korea's most popular minyo song. The 11 tracks feature solo singing, singing with janggu drum accompaniment, and singing with ensemble (oboe, fiddle, flute, zither, drum).
