Joe Boyd's 'why pansori is such an enthralling art form' talk show
JOE BOYD TALKS PANSORI
The Front Room at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, 4.30pm
FREE
Joe Boyd is a record producer and writer. He worked with Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, REM, John Martyn, Olivia Chaney, and a host more of the world’s expressive and passionate artists. His enthusiasm for Bulgarian singing is well-known, but now K-Music 2018 is pleased to out him as a secret pansori lover. He says ‘Pansori is as rich and earthy as flamenco or blues, with lyrics that are as poetic as either of those forms’, and before Ahn Sook-Sun’s performance, he will be talking about why pansori is such an enthralling artform.
Admission is free and there’s no advance booking – just come along.
AHN SOOK-SUN will perform pansori 'Heungbo-ga' in Purcell Room at 6pm, after Joe Boyd's talk.
