 Forwarded by Dawood

The Moranbong (牡丹峰) Band, also known as Moran Hill Orchestra, is an all-female music group in North Korea

Whose members were selected by the country's supreme leader Kim Jong-un.  Performing interpretive styles of pop,

Rock, and fusion, they are the first all-female band from the DPRK, and made their world debut on July 7, 2012. 

Their varied musical style has been described as symphonic because it is "putting together different kinds

Of sounds, and ending in a harmonious, pleasing result

The group made headline news last week by suddenly pulling off their performance in Beijing.
