Superb album of various folk style songs of Korea sung by one of the leading singers. Yi Choon-Hi has been singing professionally for about 60 years, and has been recognized with a number of awards. Korean folk music is one of Asia's most passionate and is roughly categorized by region; Gyeonggi (central) Namdo (southern) and Seodo (northwestern). They share some similarities yet differ in many ways too. Gyeonggi is quite upbeat, Namdo minyo slower, with a sometimes dark mood, and Soedo minyo is also slow, sung in a high pitched nasal tone with a melancholic atmosphere.
