Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation's main musical heritage is folk songs.

Also, there are such folk songs as "Song of Loom", "Ballad of Mill", "Ballad of Roast Chestnut", "Kanggang Suwollae" and "Balloonflower", which mirror the labor life, the beauty of mountains and rivers and the struggle against foreign aggressors.
