Traditional Korean folk meets electric guitar licks and funk fusion...

An old Korean story - the King of the Sea is ill and needs a liver of a hare to get better, so he sends a tortoise on a mission to get the liver, but the hare outwits the tortoise... all told on a mix of Korean and western instruments fusing traditional folk with funk and 60s psychedelia.

Korean Ensemble E-DO is a group led by Yu Kyung-Hwa.
