 Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2008 10:09 am Post subject: what's that pop-like Korean Ajumma music called? |
 |
|
I've tried the search function but it doesn't work at the moment...
Do you know that korean music played by old people?....it has a very fast thumping base and some old person singing over it, with some background singers....what's that type of music called?
Is there a specific name for that genre? Do you know of any "Best of" CD's with that type of music? Or any specific names of people who sing it?
I want to buy a CD but i don't know where to start. I've looked in music stores but its always full of modern manufactured pop.
Any answers or links would be greatly appreciated. |

If you listen to it carefully you'll hear a similar beat found in Ska/Reggae.
I wonder what Racetraitor would have to sy about that. |

you're absolutely right....it is called Trot music. That's exactly what i was talking about. There's lots of excerpts on You Tube...thanks!
I did ask my students about this topic and they said "throtuh" music .... but i though they misunderstood me and were talking about the traditional "throat" signing from Mongolia. But now i realise they were correct all along, they were just pronouncing "trot" as "throtuh." |

I agree. At our last reggae and soul night, one of our DJs did a bbongjjak set at the very end, and it was the most exciting part of the night.
It bears a particular resemblance to early reggae, back when the sound really relied on organs and had a lot of keyboard effects.
One of my friends put together an album full of bbongjjak-inspired music. You can listen over here:

Its interesting how two kinds of music developed to two opposite sides of the world and ended up with so many simularities. I always hear that stuff
in these Makoli places near the mountains.
Can you imagine a trot version of Lip up Fatty. With all these ajuma's with really bad perms dacing around. It would be hilarious. |

Right, that's how you say it. It comes from the word "throat."
트로트 or 트롯트 |

So they were saying "trot" music in class the other day. I'd never heard of it.
I asked them to sing some for me, but none of them would.  |

"Throat?" That makes no sense at all. Every source I've heard says it comes from "foxtrot." |

I also would like to know where to get a decent best of trot CD.
I bought one off the street last year, hoping for songs similr to the one linked above, but they were all pretty much garbage.
Anyone got any recommendations? |

Just go to Tapgol Park and pick something out that doesn't look like it was made in the '80s. If the music dealer is playing a song you like, you can probably just ask for that CD. |

IMO, the classic bbongjjak was made in the 70's.
Unfortunately, the really good stuff with the passionate vocals, great keyboard and saxophone sounds is not what Koreans think foreigners want to hear. They will point you to the more modern and shallow bbongjjak.
I've found it really hard to find the great bbongjjak recordings that I've occasionally heard in late-night taxis. Old-school radio DJ's know the good stuff. |
