The Sound of Music was conceived when Laibach were infamously invited to perform in North Korea in 2015. The band performed several songs from the 1965 film’s soundtrack at the concert in Pyongyang, chosen by Laibach as it’s a well-known and beloved film in the DPRK and often used by schoolchildren to learn English. Laibach are joined by Boris Benko (Silence) and Marina Mårtensson on vocals and the album gives the Laibach treatment to tracks such as ‘My Favorite Things’, ‘Edelweiss’, ‘Do-Re-Mi’ and ‘Maria’, here reworked as ‘Maria / Korea’ (“How do you solve a problem like Maria / Korea?”).

In my humble opinion, Laibach is one of the most underrated band in the history of music. I hope time will make a difference.

That has to be the most bizarre thing I've watched in a long time. Fantastic.

Opening shot shows a buck with golden horns which is Slovene folklore. Beautiful.

People complaining that the Laibach video doesn't align with their personal politics lol

NSK is the most progressive type of state, in my humble opinion. Thanks to Laibach, sorry for advertisement)

While the labyrinth of ideological implications embedded in this video are fascinating, I think one of its core intentions is made absolutely and apparently clear in the cinematography: There is a consistent and conscious effort to maximally emphasize the humanity of the individuals portrayed. All of the shots and cuts were clearly chosen with that angle in mind.

This is truly one of the most amazing music videos ever made. Only Laibach could go to North Korea and do this. Not because Laibach is subversive. No, they were able to go to NK to perform and film because they went with love in their hearts. I don't think the song/video is about the NK government. I think it as about the people.

when I heard the first part of the song I was stunned, and when Fras started singing along, I was even more overwhelmed. Simply superb! someone has to give them a medal or something...

I watched this like a thousand times and I still can't figure out how some people in these comments come to see it as an ode to dprk. Maybe the imagery isn't completely obvious for someone who never experienced totalitarian culture first hand. But the the musical language is pretty damn clear. There really isn't any mystery or double meaning here. The vid is simply about the beauty of a tragedy.

God damn it Laibach. Why do you have to make my brain think so much?

I've never heard of this band before it popped up on my Spodify "Discover Weekly" list with this song. This is incredible! I can't believe I've never heard of them before! Love this, love what they did, and love that they were able to bring their style to a place that needs it so desperately!
