IN an ongoing effort to introduce Korean music to a Trinidadian audience, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea hosted a free concert titled Sounds of Korea 2017 at Queen’s Hall in St. Ann’s on Wednesday, and what a delight it was.

The event featured an all female group Queen, a Korean traditional music group that promotes traditional Korean music with a contemporary twist.
