On May 28th, 'Five Hundred Years', a Korean folk song will be uploaded on the all KCCLA social media platforms. 'Five Hundred Years' is a song about a woman waiting for her beloved husband. Originally a ballad with a very slow tempo and a sad tune, the song is arranged into a traditional swing jazz with a medium up tempo and is presented as in a new mood.

On June 18th, the second song 'Sailor Song' another Korean folk song arranged in Latin Jazz will be featured. The beat of Latin jazz is usually four beats, but this song is divided into four beats of authentic Latin jazz and six/eight beats.

'Searching for Sori' will be introduced on the website of the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles(www.kccla.org), YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
