Radioshow related review:


Yang Se Jung has a good, convincing professional voice in soprano reach. Most tracks recorded here are recorded in the (pre-)trot style, so show similarities to some style that was also performed in Japan, only Korea had its own interpretation of it. The band softly and delicately plays the hum-papa rhythms, we have slight repetitions of the themes by clarinet/flute, but here and there are unusual solos to be heard too, like a by horn amplified violin solo (2), or a small trombone solo (3), some 30s jazz trumpet solos, or accordion and banjo, or occasional acoustic guitar, with a slight American 30s jazz combo influence present. Here and there is a Hawaiian guitar (12,16), which is a great sound to this music. A few tracks have a bit more a broadway accent, like the 19th track which shows male/female dialogue and some harmony singing. The highlight of harmony singing is the last track with a full female choir of singers performing clever frivolous 50s harmonies.


Tracks with * are pick-outs to listen too, tracks that should work fine in a western radio show too. They sound like somewhat more essential tracks. This time it was difficult to choose because I hear something of perfection in many songs, even in many of the old trot songs. Underlined ones without * I personally consider to be perfect tracks too.


This is one CD from the following box:

Other tracks can be found here:

유성기로 듣던 가요사 두번째 / Second Generation of Meteor Singers (1945~1960)

CD4-12 백팔염주(百八念珠) / White Pagoda Beads

CD4-13 여인 애가(女人哀歌) / Woman Lover

"White Pagoda Beds" is a fully orchestrated dramatic song which could fit well to a film score. There are almost operatic parts in it. "Woman Lover" is much jazzier in its core sung with a rather sultry voice.

CD11-16 그리운 고향길 / Nostalgic hometown

Like the title shows, this is a nostalgic sounding song with fully orchestrated arrangements. Here Yang Se-Jung’s voice has much intentional vibration which makes her voice sound older, perhaps to sound more mature.

유성기로 듣던 가요사 / Song I heard on Meteor (1925~1945) [Disc 4]

10 연락선(連絡船)은 떠난다 / Ferry leaves (1937)

This is another orchestrated song in a more Japanese flavored trot style. It has a small emotional flute lead part. Yang Se-Jung’s voice breaks and jumps which is beautiful to hear.​


유성기로 듣던 가요사 (1925~1945) [Disc 5]

15 토라진 눈물 / Torn Tears (1938)

This is a nice old trot song sparsely combo arranged and with a jazz touch.


유성기로 듣던 가요사 (1925~1945) [Disc 8]

* 8 잘있거라 단발령 / Good night, Dan (1940)


This is a very nice song, also for its original colorful wooden block arrangements and fantasy provoking lead vocals and singing technique.

유성기로 듣던 가요사 (1925~1945) [Disc 10]

* 1 역마차 / stagecoach (1941)

This is an accordion led theme of a more happy sort of a song with certain entertaining rhythmical words and with funny swinging arrangements by mostly piano and accordion.

도미도 베스트 컬렉션 100 VOL.1 / 50-60 Domido label

CD1 5 베니스의 창문 / Windows towards Venice

With slightly jazzy waltzing band this is a great waltzing song with beautiful emotional melodic evolution, a very nice song and performance with slowly vibrating voice.

* CD2 10 워디꾸냥 / Wordy (1955)

This is a lighter, brighter and more up tempo slightly jazzy song, with a very pleasant atmosphere.

도미도 베스트 컬렉션 100 VOL.2 / 50-60 Domido label

CD4-1 카이로 야곡 / Cairo Yagok

This is an emotional slow tango, sung with soprano and vibrating voice. The band plays the rhythm mostly adding some extra accordion and violin arrangements into it. On these CD boxes the songs were completely remastered. ​

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION:


Yang Se Jeong's voice makes the trot genre of the 40s mostly a worthy genre to check out. It's because Yang Se Jeong's soprano voice is full of gentle emotion that immediately shows its effect. The arrangements are sparse and gentle, but the whole combination works perfect. Each track is in fact also worth listening and checking out to foreign ears. It makes her a collectable artist also for outside Korea.

BIOGRAPHIES:

Rough translation of the Korean Wikipedia page:


"°1921- February 16, 2003, USA.


Singer. Category : trot. Active from 1937 ~ 1960 mostly during the Japanese occupation period. Japanese name: 張 田世貞.


Hits : “the ferry leaves” 1937, “Do you know” 1937, “Mumyeongcho port” 1939, “Farewell …" 1940, “Stagecoach” 1941, “Cry la eunbangul” 1948, “Home early” 1952.


She was born in Pyongyang. At early age she lost her mother and was raised by her grandparents. During the Pyongyang Broadcasting Station competition she won the first place when she was only 15 years old. In the same year, 1936, she was chosen to represent the voice of the Orchestra records. Her debut in 1937 (“the ferry leaves”) became a smash hit. The content referred to a degree with the Japanese occupation over the ethnic Han people. She sang also some covers. In 1937 the war broke out. There she got involved to sing some militarist songs too, with “Stagecoach” about a volunteer mother, which was used as a theme song of the movie of the same name. According to Wikipedia her finesse grew over the years. I cannot make up what happened after the war, but I assume musical activities weren’t the same after the war. In her last days she immigrated to the United States."

From "KOREANS PERFORMING FOR FOREIGN TROOPS: THE OCCIDENTALISM OF THE C.M.C. AND K.P.K." Roald Maliangkay https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/156645615.pdf


only some fragments taken (the whole article is relevant !!)


" Kim Haesong, his wife Yi Nanyŏng 李蘭影 and their seven children played crucial roles in the development of Korean popular music in the twentieth century. Their work spans five decades, and across national borders, but the K.P.K., which was established at the end of the Pacific War and disbanded at the start of the Korean War, was the only collective in which the Kims and at least three of their children worked together.


Over the years, the family faced enormous challenges in the form of colonial oppression, censorship, violence, racism, sexism and poverty. However, through their talent, stubborn persistence, courage and hard work they were able to overcome most of the hurdles placed in their way and enjoyed success for decades, but not without making great sacrifices. For example, for many years they had to give up the dream of performing for paying audiences who admired them and had chosen to see them rather than some other group. While Japanese and American audiences often praised the shows, these were times of colonial oppression and war, and open professional competition was limited. What is more, whereas the Kims and their peers played key roles in the development of Korean popular music and its recognition abroad, their performances in some cases served only to emphasize their foreign audiences’ cultural superiority. This study therefore considers the activities of the collectives from the viewpoint of both the entertainers and their audiences.


The members of the two collectives were very ambitious and believed that Korea could catch up with Japan and the modern West. In the eyes of the foreign audiences, however, this aspiration would not have been evident in the content or style of the shows. While Japanese audiences will have genuinely admired the quality of the performances and the skill of the entertainers, their attitude appears to have been rather patronizing. To many Japanese, Korean traditional music would have represented an authentic “Oriental” culture, albeit one that would typically serve to highlight the superiority of modernized Japanese culture compared with the provincial efforts of Korea. This may also explain why some Koreans who performed modern songs in Japan adopted Japanese stage names even before they were forced to do so by law; record producers felt that Japanese audiences were more likely to embrace a Japanese-style “modernity”, rather than its Korean counterpart. To the majority of Americans, on the other hand, the shows would have offered basic entertainment, comforting in their endorsement of American cultural dominance and the Koreans’ eagerness to emulate it.

Few, however, would have considered Korean indigenous culture as offering anything of equal value. The choice to include both Occidental and Oriental elements in the performances (the use of Western names and the performance of American “standards”, and the inclusion of well-known songs from other Asian countries) as well as the theatrical adoption of pre-conceived notions about East Asia, was therefore informed not by a desire to highlight the value of indigenous Korean culture, but to strike a balance between the emulation of Western culture and the retention of an Oriental character.


The term Occidentalism posits a generalising notion of the West as a single, sociocultural entity that serves to positively endorse the culture it is considered against. Although a generalisation like many other paradigms, it has utility in the field of humanities. With careful examination, studies of Occidentalism can yield crucial insights into the sociopolitical structure and value system of a given local culture, whether in relation to its past or its future. A romantic view of that culture would hold that the imagined binary is ever-present, underpinned by an unbridgeable difference in values and belief systems, often validated by drawing on historical examples. A positivist view, on the other hand, would predict a narrowing of the cultural gap. It is common, therefore, to regard “Occidentalism” as the opposite of “Orientalism”, but Xiaomei Chen points out that while the two may serve similar purposes of highlighting difference, they are based on very different relationships of power. She warns that one should not regard them as representing one manifestation of an East/West binary, but adds that, like Orientalism, Occidentalism ultimately and perhaps paradoxically serves to highlight a misrepresented image of the self as unique and superior. Thus, even though Occidentalism may be inspired in some sense by Western Orientalism, and uses the West as a reference point, it may be manifested in entirely Asian contexts without any involvement of actual western countries or cultures."

" Yi Nanyŏng was born Yi Ongnye 李玉禮 in Yangdong陽洞 in downtown Mokp’o 木浦, South Chŏlla 全羅province, on 6 June 1916. Her family was poor and her father, Yi Namsun 李南順 was always ill, so Ongnye’s mother Pak Soa 朴小兒 had to go as far as Cheju 濟州province to find work as a kitchen maid.36 Thus from an early age Ongnye had to help out around the house. In 1923 she entered the Mokp’o National Elementary School, but because of her family’s financial problems left in her fourth year. It is reported that she began making a name for herself from the age of twelve when she found a job singing at a cinema during intermissions. In 1929 she went to join her brother Pongnyong at a cotton factory where she worked for two years until she had enough money to travel to her mother. At the age of fifteen she began singing for Yi Ch’ŏl’s Three Streams Operetta Group. In the same year she joined the Sun Show Band (T’aeyang kagŭktan 太陽歌劇 團), but when the group went to perform in Osaka, it was unable to sell tickets because of the recession and it eventually disbanded.37 On 26 August 1933, Pacific Records brought out two recordings of her as a member of the group—Fading Youth (Shidŭrŭn ch’ŏngch’un 시들은 靑春) and A Foregone Dream (Chinagan yet kkum 지나간 옛꿈)—but she was never paid.38 Having no money even to return home, the young teenager ended up roaming the streets of Osaka in search for a job and a way home. She managed to survive by singing at a low-class bar.


After some time, Yi Ch’ŏl located her and had her sign a contract to sing exclusively for his label. In 1932, she recorded the popular song Fragrance(Hyangsu 鄕愁) and, at the end of September 1933, the theme song of the movie Chongno (종로, dir. Yang Chŏl, 1933).39 Recordings of the songsPhoenix (Pulsajo 不死鳥 ) and Solitude (Kojŏk 孤寂), by composer Mun Howŏl 文湖月, followed in the next month.40 In 1935 she recorded Tears of Mokp’o (Mokp’o-ŭi nunmul 木浦의 눈물), composed by Mun Ilsŏk and written by Son Mogin. The song, which expressed sorrow over the loss of Korea’s autonomy, was one of Okeh’s biggest hits, selling over 50 thousand copies.41 A poll in the magazine Three Thousand Li (Samch’ŏlli 三千里) from October 1935 put her in third place as Korea’s most popular female singer with 873 votes, behind Wang Subok 王壽福 with 1903 votes and Sŏnuilsŏn 鮮于一扇 with 1166.42 In 1936, two years after she represented Korea at a national contest in Tokyo, she toured Japan as Oka Ranko 岡 蘭子 and while overseas recorded Farewell Boat Song (Ibyŏr-ŭi paennorae이별의 뱃노래) and Arirang (Ariran no uta アリランの唄) for Teichiku.43Soon after she returned to Korea, she performed the song The Passage of Youth (Ch’ŏngch’un haehyŏp 靑春海崍) alongside Kim Haesong whom she married in 1937.44."

Red copies of flowers bloom

Oh, he's really hot bones.

I'm really 17 years old.

I don't like it ringing

When I look at the sky

Black armor sandals with tears

Oh, he's 17 years old.

I'm really 17 years old.

I don't like it ringing

Put your hands on your chest

with a face turning red

Oh, he's 17 years old.

헛소문-장세정

이노홍 작사/박시춘 작곡

1938년 1월 오케레코드

물길러 갈적마다 우연히 만나

우연히 만나면은 가슴이 선뜻

두 얼굴을 붉히고서 토라만져도

청춘의 헛소문은 청춘의 헛소문은

퍼져갑니다 아-

휘파람 불며가는 뒷모양 보다

돌이킨 그의 눈과 마주칠 적에

두 가슴 설레면서 돌아만 서도

청춘의 헛소문은 청춘의 헛소문은

퍼져갑니다 아-

피었던 꽃이라면 꽃이라면은

사랑의 열매라도 맺겠소만은

뜻없는 헛소문에 가치없는 꽃

가슴만 태우면서 가슴만 태우면서

퍼져갑니다 아-

Rumors

Whenever I go back, I will meet by chance

If you meet by chance, your heart will be refreshed

Even when you blush and then touch your face

Youth rumors Youth rumors

they will spread ah-

Look back at the whistles

On encounter with his turning eyes

Even when my heart flutters and turns around

Youth rumors Youth rumors

they will spreads ah-

If it's a flower that bloomed

I will bear the fruit of love

Worthless flowers in meaningless vain

While only burning my chest

It will spreads ah-

Dream of a Young Day

The Snoozing of two people round the grass round and round

Young blood is placed on the chest, when they sleep together.

Let's sing together The song of love of You and me, me, you, me, too

Isn't the bouquet of youth ours?

Two people whisper and whisper

As you enter the faraway kingdom of happiness, whisper

The breeze carries a dream

I hold on the bracelet which I bought temporarily

like A breeze in a breeze

Arthur, don't rinse.

It's a terrible wind

It's a terrible wind

My heart-eaten heart is released

Even if you just pass this collar

Arthur, don't do it.

It's a terrible wind

It's a terrible wind

the Iris is more blue than any color

Shake the breeze out

Arthur, don't do it.

꿈꾸는 처녀원

날개 접은 밤비들기 꿈을 꾸는 밤

남 모를 설움 속에 등불을 끄고

나 혼자 울었나이다

창문위에 달빛만이 내 마음 알아주는 듯

문풍지 찬바람도 울어줍니다

초저녁에 이별하고 돌아온 이 밤

비단 폭 치마끈이 눈물에 젖어

나 혼자 탄식합니다

가신다는 그 말씀이 내 가슴 찔러주는 듯

속연없이 원망하며 울었나이다

선물이라 주신 것은 손수건이나

철없이 받은 것은 눈물이 오니

야속타 원망하네요

밤하늘의 기적소리 내 행복 뺏어가는 듯

설레이는 가슴 속에 사모칩니다

Dreaming Virgin

Wings unfolded a night rain dream night

I turn off the lights

I'm crying alone

Only The moonlight on the window knows my heart

A cold wind is blowing

This night after a breakup in the early evening

the Silk wide skirt strap is getting wet

I sigh alone

These words that came to pierce my heart

I resentlessly cried

A handkerchief is its gift

Tears come without a cry

I'm resentful

The sound of a miracle in the night sky is taking away my happiness

which is Fluttering in my heart
