Respected Supreme Commander Marshal Kim Jong Un attends concert of the Moranbong Band for the 60th anniversary of Kim Il Sung Military University (경애하는 최고사령관 김정은원수님을 모시고 진행한 김일성군사종함대학 창림 60 돐기념 모란봉악단 공연) Performed: , Peoples' Theatre 10 years ago today, the Moranbong Band appeared on stage and performed their first concert. Since then, they have had an outstanding and revolutionary impact on the music culture of the DPR of Korea. In order to celebrate this anniversary, here is a full concert from the classic early days of the Moranbong Band in 2012. It was performed around 18 days after the much more well-known concert for the 67th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea (watch here: ) and features a generally similar repertoire of songs. Until now, this rare concert was unavailable on youtube (to my knowledge...!). Originally it was uploaded on the now-deleted Stimmekoreas youtube channel (and hence was deleted along with the channel), and I was lucky to download it beforehand. However the audio was compressed into the left side (can be heard in clips from this concert uploaded on my channel). Here, I have managed to replace the audio with fully stereo sound which should be heard in both left and right audio channels. I am very happy to be able present this concert here and help fill in this small gap in the Moranbong Band's history! 00:00:00 Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un entrance 00:01:14 Moranbong Band Introduction - Keeping pace with the martial song (군가에 발을 맞추자) Members (in order): Sonu Hyang-hui 선우향희 Hong Su-kyong 홍수경 and Cha Yong-mi 차영미 Yu Un-jong 유은정 Kim Hyang-sun 김향순 and Ri Hui-kyong 리희경 Choi Jong-im 최정임 and Kim Yong-mi 김영미 Ri Yun-hui 리윤희 Kang Phyong-hui 강평희 and Ri Sol-lan 리설란 Kim Yu-kyong 김유경 Kim Sol-mi 김설미, Ryu Jin-a 류진아 and Pak Mi-kyong 박미경 Jong Su-hyang 정수향, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 and Ri Myong-hui 리명희 00:02:40 Aegukka (애국가) - The National anthem of DPR Korea Instrumental 00:04:50 Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea (조선로동당 만세) Composition: Om Ha-jin 엄하진, lyrics: An Ho-gun 안호근, 1980 Vocal septet: Pak Mi-kyong 빅미경, Kim Sol-mi 김설미, Jong Su-hyang 정수향, Ri Myong-hui 리명희, Kim Yu-kyong 김유경, Ryu Jin-a 류진아, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:09:40 Vernal years of father and mother (아버지 어머니의 청춘) Septet 00:13:39 Mother’s voice (어머니의 목소리) Composition: Kim Hak-yong 김학영, 1992 Solo: Ryu Jin-a 류진아 00:18:25 On the road to a decisive battle (결전의 길로) Composition: Kim Ok-song 김옥성, lyrics: Sok Kwang-hui 석광희, 1951 Instrumental, String quartet: Sonu Hyang-hui 선우향희, Hong Su-kyong 홍수경, Cha Yong-mi 차영미, Yu Un-jong 유은정 00:22:25 Campfire (우등불) Composition: An Jong-ho 안정호, lyrics: Cha Yong-do 차영도, 2010 Vocal quintet: Pak Mi-kyong 빅미경, Kim Sol-mi 김설미, Jong Su-hyang 정수향, Kim Yu-kyong 김유경, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:25:42 On our march (우리의 행군길) Composition: Song Dong-chun 성동춘, lyrics: O Yong-je 오영재, 1985 Instrumental 00:29:54 Soldier’s road (전사의 길) Composition: U Jong-hui 우정희, 1986 Guitar: Kang Phyong-hui 강평희 Vocal Duo: Ryu Jin-a 류진아, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:35:07 Learning from the general (장군님을 닮으리) Composition: Hu Pan 후반, 2000 Vocal Quartet: Pak Son-hyang 박선향, Ryu Jin-a 류진아, Kim Yu-kyong 김유경, Ri Myong-hui 리명희 00:37:57 Marching and marching (진군 또 진군) Composition: Hwang Hak-gun 황학근, lyrics: group, 1950 Instrumental 00:41:35 Song of coastal artillery women (녀성해안포병의 노래) Composition: Han Hye-se 한희세, lyrics: Pak Nam-hyon 박남현 Vocal Sextet: Pak Mi-kyong 빅미경, Kim Sol-mi 김설미, Jong Su-hyang 정수향, Kim Yu-kyong 김유경, Ri Myong-hui 리명희, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:44:00 My life (나의 한생) No creation info Vocal Duo: Ryu Jin-a 류진아, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:48:26 Forever remembered by the Fatherland (조국은 영원히 기억하리라) Composition: Hwang Jin-yong 황진영, 1986 Instrumental, string quartet 00:52:01 My life and motherland (내 삶과 조국) Composition: Ri Kyong-hun 리경훈, lyrics: Kim Sok-chon 김석천 Vocal trio: Pak Mi-kyong 박미경, Kim Yu-kyong 김유경, Pak Son-hyang 박선향 00:55:38 Motherland and I (조국과 나) Composition: Hwang Jin-yong 황진영, 1997 Vocal solo: Ryu Jin-a 류진아 01:00:34 Look at us!
