Over het album

Musical sounds from natural materials, such as a hard bamboo stick plucking strings made of twisted silk, have been heard in Korea ever since the seventh century. It is the sound of the geomungo or six-string fretted zither, a central instrument in their tradition, with a role comparable to that of the piano in the West. Yoon Jeong Heo, the leader of Black String is a specialist on the geomungo. Singer Youn Sun Nah is full of praise for her: “Heo shines even brighter because she carries the weight of tradition.”
