MUSCAT: The Korean Embassy in Oman hosted a concert with a theme of 'Heritage in Harmony' by the ADG7 (Ak Dan Gwang Chil), a multi-award winning band of Korea at the Oman Auditorium, Al Bustan Palace on September 25 in a series of activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Korea and Oman.
The ADG7 has gained increasingly wider popularity and reputation with its performances in international stages including the World Music Expo 2019 and the global FEST 2020 since its debut in 2015. The Oman-Korea Friendship Association and the Korean Association in Oman supported the concert.
The ADG7 presented traditional Korean folk music in a modern style to the Omani and international audience. Together with the Korean band, the musicians of the Oman Centre for Traditional Music joined the concert. Both Korean and Omani performers resonated deeply with the spirit of friendship through music that echoed the shared sentiments of the two peoples.
Eng Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, graced the concert where Omani dignitaries, representatives from public and private sectors, foreign ambassadors together with members of the diplomatic corps as well as fans of Korean culture attended.
Ambassador Kim Kiejoo of Korea highlighted the significance of this year as a watershed in the five decades of fruitful mutual partnership between Korea and Oman. He emphasised that cultural exchanges will help promote the already-strong solidarity of the people of both nations and reassured that further exchanges will continue to grow.
