Vacationing in South Korea, Elma Dae Gets New Inspiration for Music

Kapanlagi.com - Young soloist Elma Dae recently visited South Korea. Interestingly, in the Land of Ginseng, Elma gained new knowledge in music.

On one occasion, while strolling around, Elma saw a performance on the street. At that time, she saw a street dance accompanied by music that she had never heard before. Curious, she took the time to watch the street dance performance.

"Accidentally, I saw a street dance performer doing their routine with a song that I wasn't familiar with. The tempo was fast, but somehow it sounded very jazzy pop," she said.

In South Korea itself, busking or performing in public places has become a common phenomenon. Especially busking with K-Pop cover dance songs that are currently popular.

This has also become one of the tourist attractions. However, it turned out that what Elma Dae saw that day was not busking using K-Pop songs, but a different type of song.

"It turns out he said it's jungle music or familiarly known as drum and bass. I'm not familiar with it at all," she continued.

She also received an invitation to watch another performance at a club, which presents fast soul music. Eventually, Elma and the performer exchanged contacts to provide information about upcoming events.

2. Want to Try Something New

"Its name is Soap Seoul, still in the Itaewon area. When I arrived there, the feel was very youthful, not too fancy, but not dirty either. It's a very dynamic street style, urban but polite. It seems like they go there for the music," she continued, admitting that the songs played kept lingering in her head.

After exploring a new genre of music, Elma is also determined to try new things.

"When I return to Jakarta, I want to try incorporating those songs into my routine. It's always enjoyable to meet new friends and new music," she concluded.
