Phambinho w/ MIIA LAINE - South-Korean Protest Music

The 1970s and '80s were a turbulent time in South Korea under authoritarian military rule. The government routinely censored music, while the student movements distributed illegal cassette tapes of songs that became central to the pro-democracy movement. In today's show, Miia plays you mostly banned folk, rock and protest songs of this era, as well as interview snippets with Prof. Kim Chang Nam, a student activist at the time and founding member of the protest student song group Nochasa 노찾사 Photo credit: Lena Laine
