Music is a field where North Korea has been for decades engaging in consistent though not extensive
international exchanges. Music is there a major national art form, on which a considerable amount of
national resourcesis devoted, and the quality of musical education is high. Its practical uses are almost
solely devoted to maintaining the legitimacy of the state and its leading dynasty up to a level where
the distinction between nationalism and religion visibly evaporates. The musical establishment is
hierarchically organized. At the top are court orchestras, such as the former Unhasu Orchestra, or the
currently favoured Moranbong Band, whose style and repertoire is closely controlled by the highest
leadership. These are then followed by a large amount of lesser ensembles. The members of these
orchestras are cultural soldiers, whose commission is to defend the state against foreign cultural
intrusions, most of all those from South Korea in the form of TV shows and popular music. Both
because of this, and because of the tradition of socialist realism in art modelled in the Soviet Union,
most North Korean music has for decades been light popular music with easy melodies, accompanied
by emotional lyrics worshipful towards the party and the Kimist dynasty, so that the message can be
easily consumed by the populace. Yet, the field is far from stagnant. Various international influences
are cautiously imported, new styles are created, and the state actively tries to defend itself in its
cultural war against the outside.
