Korean Sound Wave

Those who might want something a little different than the "typical" K-Pop music might want to take a look at the following posts from The Turning Gate which is maintained by an American ESL teacher living in Seoul. It's a collection of lesser known Korean artists that don't get as much attention as their mainstream counterparts with brief descriptions and a few songs you can download and listen to. The intro and links are posted below.

“Is there any decent Korean music?” a friend asked me in a recent email. The answer is a resounding YES! Korea has some damn fine music, and it’s about time The Turning Gate took a few moments to recognize it. And so I ask you, turn your ears to the Land of the Morning Calm to explore some of the finest music I’ve found here.
