Hwangseong Ruins ( 황성옛터 - 이정표 ) Jungpyo Lee

[soryang]

This is a contemporary performance of a popular Korean song written in 1928. It was one of first songs recorded in Korea for gramophone. Jungpyo Lee's musical performances seem to be focused on recreating authentic performances of culturally significant Korean music. There is an interpretation of the lyrics in English and a brief description of the historical significance of the song at the link below if anyone wants to know more about this beautiful performance just uploaded by the artist yesterday.

The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument with 12 strings, though some more recent variants have 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument.[1] It is related to other Asian instruments, including the Chinese guzheng, Japanese koto, Mongolian yatga, and Vietnamese đàn tranh. When played, the sound varies between traditional Eurasian stringed instruments and the Appalachian banjo.

"Gayageum are available with 13, 17, 18, 21, 22, or 25 strings..."

She appears to have 21 or more strings on that one. I checked another one of her newer uploads, and she was playing a 25 string gayageum
