[78-L] Orient Viva-tonal record

[Roger Wade]

According to Wikipedia, "Arirang" is a Korean folk song, sometimes considered the unofficial national anthem of Korea.  Arirang is an ancient native Korean word with no direct modern meaning.  So I suspect there are countless recorded versions on Korean records.

It has been used at least in part in several movies and was even performed by the New York Philharmonic in 2008.  Who would have thought?

I haven't been able so far to learn anything about it.  I'm guessing late 1920s to early 1930s as the time of issue just from the use of the word Viva-tonal.
