추석을 기념하는 한국 록, 펑크, 팝 음악 Korean rock, funk, and pop music to celebrate Chuseok
Chuseok is the Korean harvest festival or "autumn evening". Chuseok is the biggest traditional holiday in South Korea, where people visit their hometowns to pay respect to the spirits of their ancestors and share a feast of Korean traditional food. This includes ancestor memorial services at home, and visiting graves to tidy the grounds.
Chuseok is a three day festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar on the full moon. Yesterday was the Harvest Moon in Ottawa and the festival concludes today.
I am taking this opportunity to play exclusively Korean music for three programs on CKCU this week.

| In 1972, the office of South Korean president Park Chung-hee asked Shin Joong Hyun to write a song in praise of the president. Shin refused and instead wrote a 10-minute long song about the beauty of South Korea, called "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains," which he recorded with his band at the time, Shin Joong Hyun & The Men. After the release of the song, police confiscated Shin's guitars and cut his long hair, which was banned at the time by the South Korean government. However, in 1974, his new band, Shin Joong Hyun & Yup Juns released their self-titled first album, which sold over 1 million copies and included the hit song, "Beautiful Woman."
In 1975, Shin was arrested for possession of marijuana after giving away a plant to a friend of the president's son, even though marijuana was not yet illegal at the time of his arrest. He was subsequently imprisoned and tortured. He was later imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital. After his release, Shin was banned from performing in South Korea, until after the assassination of Park Chung-hee in 1979. Regarding the assassination, Shin said, "God took Park and opted to save me." However, in the meantime, the public's taste in music had changed, according to Shin. "It was all, 'Let's work hard,' and 'Let's be happy' kind of stuff. It was completely physical, with no spirit, no mentality, no humanity," he later said. Because he could not perform, he turned to producing and song-writing, among other occupations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Joong-hyun https://lightintheattic.net/releases/616-beautiful-rivers-and-mountains-the-psychedelic-rock-sound-of-south-korea-s-shin-joong-hyun-1958-74 |
