SNSD’s music provides a little something to suit everyone’s musical tastes and needs. Fans of funky dance tracks, irresistible pop beats and bittersweet ballads all find common ground where these nine girls are concerned. And virtually every other genre is showcased not necessarily on albums but through countless covers.
So where do fans of traditional music stand? More specifically Pansori, a Korean form involving one vocalist and one percussionist telling a story through song. Well those fans will have something to fantasize about now, at least, as top Korean traditional music educator Ahn Sookseon admitted during a broadcast of KBS 2TV’s ‘Free Time’ that she would like to work with SNSD.
Ahn Sookseon said she’d seen SNSD perform and thought the members were pretty and the stages appealing. She expressed her wish to meet the girls and share her passion for Pansori with them by teaching them about Korean traditional music and performing for them. Kim Duksoo, a respected individual in the area of Samul nori, another form of Korean traditional music, agreed but also voiced his regret that today’s generation did not care for traditional music. Could SNSD be the key to opening young people’s eyes to the magnificence of this traditional form of expression? If the two parties do end up working together I believe they could make such beautiful music together, if you’ll pardon the pun . =D
