모란봉악단 - 우리는 당기를 사랑하네
Music: U Jong-hui (우정희) 2015
Text: Cha Ho-gun (차호근)
Vocal intro: Jo Kuk-hyang (조국향)
Recorded: Appr. 2015.10.11 Mokran Video DPRK
A good song that stands out with its simple but elegant arrangement. Jo Kuk-hyang really does a good job here with her young enthusiasm. Right out of school (not even 20 years old), here she is living her dream as lead singer of the top music group of her world, going all in in front of TV cameras and all important people in the audience. Let us all hope for her long shining life! (her name 조국향 kan be interpreted as "The perfume of the Motherland" if one so wish...)
Technical: My original file is partly corrupt so I had to do some repair work at 1:57-2:18 and 3:56-4:09 . I downloaded the best version I could find on the Net and did some cutting (perhaps in too short passages?). The geometry of the other version is different so I had to put in black borders at the top and bottom, too. Unfortunately the sudden loss of resolution is a bit disturbing. On the other hand it also shows that the good parts of the video has a significantly higher resolution compared with what has previously been available. A version free from errors can be viewed in the full concert version at • Moranbong Band & State...
