Interview with a Trot (트로트) Singer
Trot is the music of Korean grandmothers and grandfathers, and is infinitely more listenable than the K-Pop of Korean youngsters, who feel about Trot as American city-slickers do about Country Music. Like that genre, you can dance to it and you can cry to it.

Here's an interview with the very young and perky singer who's keeping the tradition alive: '어머나' 장윤정, 2집 '짠짜라' 냈네.

Jang Yunjeong

Miss Jang may look and dress like a typical sylish Korean agassi when she's wearing something other than a hanbok, but for her efforts at conserving traditional culture, she's a "young fogey" (fogette?) in my book.

Miss Jang's hit song "어머나" is the first song my two-year-old daughter sings along to.
