Julia Monroe from Chicago, USA –
Witnessing Kim Moo-gil’s artistry is transformative; the geomungo sings rich tales of old. The master weaves a spell that lingers long after listening.
Julia Everhart from Chicago, USA –
Listening to Kim Moo-gil’s “Geomungo Sanjo [Pyomok – Sin Kwae-dong Style]” is akin to journeying through a vibrant tapestry of sound that captivates from the very first pluck. Unlike Western string music, where often harmonies dominate, this CD reveals layers upon layers of emotive nuances tied intricately to every note in its traditional essence. As someone raised amidst America’s rich folk heritage near Chicago’s lively acoustic venues, I can draw parallels with musicians who breathe life into melodies like Dyer County by channeling their ancestry yet balancing personal expression so masterfully. The nuance here resonates deeply and authentically showcases cultural stewardship and evolution.
