Kim Young-jae’s haegeum breathes tradition anew, wrapping melodies around my soul. Each song feels like whispers of history, awakening memories forgotten.
Lia Bontjes from Haarlem, Nederland –
De prachtige klanken van Kim Young-jae brengen me terug naar mijn jeugd, waar folk muziek als een warme deken aanvoelde. Dit album ademt traditie en liefde voor cultuur.
Isadora Sato from São Paulo, Brasil (verified owner) –
Ouvindo ‘The Soul of the Peninsula’ do Kim Young-jae é como dar um passeio por um bairro cheio de lembranças! A sonoridade suave do haegeum traz uma mistura nostálgica das tradições coreanas e, ao mesmo tempo, uma energia que faz o coração vibrar. Cada canção tem sua própria história: a mágica de ‘Long Arirang’ me levou a lugares bem no fundo da alma. E as batidas da música infantil não apenas aquecem meu dia, mas também oferecem aquele empurrãozinho de alegria. Valeu demais essa viagem musical!
Sinto-me conectado com todos esses sentimentos apresentados nessa obra!
Soo-min from Seoul, South Korea –
Honestly impressed by the talent in this album. Each track resonates beautifully and truly captures Korean heritage. It’s a delightful listen for anyone who appreciates folk music.
