I'm Here to Eat: Coreyah and "Let's Make a Feast"



Today's group, Coreyah, as its name implies in Korean, draws upon the "inheritance of the past" in its music. Melding Korean music steeped in traditional folklore with other genres such as Anglo-American rock, Balkan gypsy, and a variety of musical genres from South America and Africa, Coreyah hopes to create "living Korean music." The ensemble makes its unique sound by using traditional Korean instruments, along with a guitarist and a world percussionist. They have had much success since, taking top honors at the premier of the Cheonchamanbyeol (all kinds of music) Concert, and the following year making the round of 16 in Korean Broadcasting System's band survival show Top Band II (competing against a lot of K-pop bands). This song, Let's Make a Feast, can be found on their 2014 album Songs of Our Ancestors.

Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
