This is a collection of old time music Trot (50s styled), with slow male singing and small combos (reeds, strings) with solo instruments like accordion or sax or acoustic/early electric picking guitar and such. The best part is CD2 where also responding female harmony singers are added, adding a charming filmic aspect to the music, improving with it the whole atmosphere. Choi Mu-Ryung was also a film actor. First it was unclear to me how much the actor Choi Moo-ryong (Februar

For a so-called compilation of 50s/60s songs I never expected such a rather cheap taste of Moog-like arrangements, with over-simplified electronic pum-pum-pum rhythms mixed with a separately recorded voice (in right channel) with artificial reverb.

황금심 / 오리지날 힛송 총결산집 (16-12-2015) Hwang Keum-Sim was one of my favourite voices and choices from 5 CD-Domido compilation box, and I am still convinced of her voice and talent after checking this full compilation of hers. It still is unclear to me where she learned her technique and in which traditions it has been rooted, but I would love to know. The arrangements for every track fit perfectly with the songs and singing. Most tracks show a perfect balance in colour and contribut

김용만 - 힛트앨범 Recorded 1958-1966 최근입고 : 2014-05-15 This is a nice compilation of recordings from Kim Yong Man. His voice is always steering for the joy of entertainment, while moments of vibration recall the trot era; in this case it gives a happy, joyful effect. The band, with full range of sounds has elements of jazz, while it fuses styles of chachacha, mambo, boogie, trot and more. Some instruments play a few solos like with accordion and banjo, while the band’s mobility of a
