| Jang Jae In says, “Folk appeals to listeners with its sincere lyrics” | 0 |
I think folk appeals to listeners with its sincere lyrics. I’m trying to sing a song which is easy to understand and meaningful at the same time.”
Recently, Jang participated the movement for half tuition program by giving a small concert at Gwanghwamun. She said, “Well, I just wanted to show the society what I felt as a student, rather than trying to send some message to them.”
About folk concerts gaining popularity, Jang says, “It’s hard to say this folk music boom has suddenly emerged. There have been many people who are into acoustic music around Hongik University. Many auditioning TV shows and C’est Si Bon attracted people’s attention to folk music. But I see that folk song is having its gold age since acoustic guitars are on good sales.”
Jang looks up to folk singers Bob Dylan and Roberta Joni Mitchell, and says, “I think everything needs its balance. I wish K-pop broadens its genre as folk music gains more public recognition.”
2011 The 1st Paju Folk Festival will be held for three days. On the 1st, folk singers Han Dae Soo, Yoon Hyung Joo, Lim Ji Hoon, and Park Eun Ok perform. YB Band, Focus, Han Dong Joon, and Jang Pil Soon appear on the next day, and Jang Jae In, Jang Kiha And The Faces give dynamic performances on the 3rd.
