Jindo Ganggangsullae (mp3 320)


Jindo Intangible Art Culture Series 3 (2006)
박용순, 김종심, 박종숙

Ganggangsullae is a kind of circle dance performed by women and popular on the southwest coast of Korea. It is listed as Korean Important Intangible Asset #8, and is listed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The 3 performers on this recording, 박용순, 김종심, and 박종숙, are designated holders of this Intangible Asset.

The lyrics are pretty random, lots of references to farming, family and courtship. Below are the lyrics to track 7 (Uh-ung taryeong):

Worried the only son might get sick/ For what do we catch a frog?/ Caught a frog to make soup for a precious son who is thin and weak/ On the mountain out back, a crow builds its house in an old tree/ Look at the samll boy, holding a steel hammer/ Just blinking his eyes.

Sorry for not including track names here. There are 23 tracks and I don't feel like writing them all out.
