The name Sorea comes from Sound of Korea and Symbol of Korea and according to their website they
are "Korea's leading Culture-Technology specialized company.
In 2005 won the Gold Award in the Creative Korean Traditional Music competition and it then received the Best new Album Award from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Secretary in 2006.
I had never hear of them until recently, a Korean friend of mine introduce me to Sorea Claiming they played Modern Korean music using Traditional Korean Instruments and had Bboys performances, I've talked about Bboys before and since I'm sort of a new Kpop fan I decided to check it out.
The 1st thing I did was check out YouTube, the google of Videos. You can find SOREA's videos here.
And you can also watch an interview with Sorea's Producer/Creative Director Moon Ryu, it's an interview from Arirang's show "Heart to Heart", basically a short explanation of what SOREA is and what do they do.
You can also add them on Facebook
And follow them on Twitter (Although they don't really tweet that much :( )
If you don't know anything about Korean Music and somehow you feel it's no fun, SOREA might change your mind about it, remember not everyone in Korea listens to Kpop and this is a great way to get to know a little bit more about Korean Traditional Music.
