In Seoul, South Korea, a young musician is mixing a centuries-old Korean instrument with the music of rock legends. Luna Lee plays the gayageum, a box-like string instrument that dates back to 400 B.C. However, Lee thought it was wasteful to only play the traditional music associated with the instrument, so her repertoire features covers from Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Nirvana, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and other rock luminaries. With millions of views on YouTube, Lee is bringing Korean traditions of the past and popular culture of the present to a whole new audience.
To the friends, family and all those people lost in the tragic catastrophe of January 19, 2017 in Tehran, Iran.
On behalf of the recording artist Kitaro, and myself, Eiichi Naito, we would like to send our thoughts and heartfelt condolences to those lost in the tragic events at the Plasco 17 story building in Teheran.
To all the brave firefighters and heroes who lost their lives and to all of the family members, we send our best wishes and tell you our thoughts are with you on this sad occasion.
Sincerely,
Kitaro
