We Are the Sultans of Gayageum
A bit of levity, even beauty, at the end of a lousy week.
Published in General
Morning Michael,
Loved the version, I am not familiar with the musician or the instrument, however I listened to several other songs. My favorites, in no order, “Born to be Wild”, “Layla”, and “Pipeline”. Best way to start a weekend. Thanks.
Thanks. Luna Lee does some great stuff. I like her versionof All Along the Watchtower.
Wow…great song–amazing version! What is that instrument??
The Gayageum is a traditional Korean instrument dating back to about the 6th century.
Thanks for the find. I have never cared for the song but I loved some of her other covers especially the Nirvana and Metallica covers.
Hat tip to the “What Are You Listening To” group and LC for first calling this artist to my attention.
Amazing.
That was awesome. Had never heard of her before. Thanks.
Where is this group of which you speak? Am unable to find it.
Great! Thanks.
Really? It’s a public group here–I just checked. Go join–it needs more Nuggets.
Perfect. Howdy, Ultraman! Good to see you…
Fantastic.
Found it. Joined. Thanks.
Wow. Loved it. Thanks!
That is insanely great.
This takes you to the Luna Lee channel on YouTube. Plenty of good stuff to listen to.
Loved.
That instrument is like a dulcimer, but exponentially so!
Micheal,
If Luna Lee is an example of the sweet free kind creative spirit of the South Koreans then there is no doubt they must be protected from their crazy humorless cousins to the North.
Loved it.
Regards,
Jim
And she sings. The Man Who Sold The World.
I missed this yesterday, but it’s also a great way to start a week. Thanks.
And she does a version of Hendrix that is just amazing.
It’s one of those moments where things that shouldn’t sound related do.
Michael,
We forget that Freedom is magic! So playful and sweet, Luna wins hearts around the world while her cousins to the North wreck everything they touch and terrify the world. How many people are in prison camps in the North. Freedom!
Regards,
Jim
Beautiful. Can’t help but joke though. Since this is reverse cultural appropriation from the Asian realm, does that mean Katy Perry needs to apologize for her apology?
Very cool – I started watching all her performances last night and had a great time. Her instrument is very similar to the Chinese guzheng.
Only if Ms. Perry can come out with something at least as good.
Yes, as well as the Japanese koto for that matter.
Too too cool. I enjoyed that.
Now, how about some Eye Of The Tiger on a printer:
