Tracks with * I consider essential listens or classics from a western point of view of listening, as tracks to check out for sure because for some reason they seem to stand out as such, which makes them also very suitable for western radio show airplay. Tracks that are only underlined can be considered fine tracks you might better check out as well, but I am not sure how essential they really are.

This is 2 CD’s with an overview of some performances by the beautifully looking Cho Mi Mi, not sure from which date the recordings are from.
The first CD is more heavily commercialised, still Koreanised music with orchestra and band, from which a small part has been replaced by synths. This is popular music, with a formula of keyboards, orchestra and sax solos and a bit of electric picking guitar, with light musical themes, possibly from the 80s, not specifically collectible for foreigners. However, Cho Mi Mi’s voice is very good.
Different is the 11th track, showing a funky disco rhythm, a new commercial way of arranging which fits at least with its time, and not an imitation from what was common before. Also track 13 is good for its arrangement, which might be from an older date, which includes guitar, flutes and organ too. On the 14th track a wooden block plays rhythmical accents to a small orchestra/brass.
The second CD has more original orchestrations (60s/70s), there are chachachas too, use of organ and electric guitar. Favourite might be the chachacha of track 11, also with accents on wooden block.
도미도 베스트 컬렉션 100 VOL.1 / 50-60 Domido
* CD4 16 울릉도타령 / Ulleungdo
This is a nice eastern twist, a more modern-life approach compared to other tracks.

바다가 육지라면’ 등의 인기곡으로 1970년대를 풍미했던 트로트 가수 조미미(본명 조미자·65)씨가 9일 오전 서울 오류동 자택에서 간암으로 별세했다.

고인은 곡을 트로트 가락으로 재해석하는 능력에서 독보적이라는 평가를 받았다. 특히 ‘바다가 육지라면’ ‘먼데서 오신 손님’ 등은 고인의 미성과 애절한 가사가 돋보인 절창으로 팬들의 많은 사랑을 받았다. 60년 박신자 원곡의 ‘댄서의 순정’ 역시 75년 고인이 부른 리메이크 버전이 유독 인기를 끌었다. 당시 인기 바로미터였던 MBC 10대 가수에 71년(먼데서 오신 손님), 72년(단골손님), 76년(댄서의 순정) 등 수차례 뽑혔다.

The approach of Cho Mimi has a quality that makes trot style almost like a logical next step of interpretation, a style movement and light musical atmosphere of enjoyment. Although this is a mainstream area her approach makes it easier to appreciate.
