Moranbong Band, Chongbong Band & State Merited Chorus 모란봉악단, 청봉악단, 공훈국가합창단 합동공연 Recorded: Mokran Video, DPRK The 7th Party congress in 2016 was a major event in the history of the DPRK and to celebrate it a major concert also took place. The content basically describes the 20th century history of Korea going all back to the beginning of the century.

Video quality is not very good, partly because of mpeg2 compression artefacts. The original file had to be within the 4 GB limit of FAT32 and is therefore heavily compressed. In this video I tried to remove some more of the artefacts without loosing too much detail. I hope i looks better compared to the individual clips linked to below. 0:00 Intro 0:16 The National Anthem (애국가) Music: Kim Won-gyun (김원균) 1947 1:52 The green pine on Nam Hill (남산의 푸른 소나무) Text: Kim Hyong-jik (김형직) 1918 Kim Hyong-jik was the father of Kim Il-sung and wrote this poem at the time of His departure to go out in the liberation war.
