North Korea, Land Without Net

Andy Kershaw in North Korea

Sit back and enjoy the first ever radio programme recorded in this isolated and extraordinary country. Andy has described this as the "last great adventure on planet Earth". Even with all the restrictions and supervision, Radio 3 managed to record the music of local musicians. Other highlights include sea shanties from the East coast, a visit to the statue of the great leader and a very brief excursion into South Korea.

Interesting BBC radio series on the music of North Korea. One of the most interesting bits was the revelation that North Koreans actually believe the Americans are still killing their South Korean brothers. North Korea is cult-as-nation. Scary.
