GUEST,Jim P	North Korean blues, sort of (4)	RE: North Korean blues, sort of	30 Dec 08
Sorry, I don't know the name of the tune, but the big zither that Kyung is playing is a Kayaguem (gayagum/kayakum/etc. - spelling is problematic since its a Korean word and properly spelled in Hangul). The drum is a Jang-go, and is also a traditional Korean instrument. As far as my very limited understanding goes, the Kayaguem has equivalents in China and Japan (the Koto), but the Jang-go is uniquely Korean. There are some pretty impressive drum performances on Youtube if you look for them.
