Last December Norwegian artist Morten Traavik visited North Korea looking for artists to feature at an upcoming music festival. When he was introduced to the students at Pyongyang's Kum Song School of Music, Traavik gave them a tape with A-Ha's song "Take on me" on it. A couple of days later the same students came back to him and played the above cover, with gusto. They were so good that Traavik has now invited them to the Barents Festival, where they will be performing at the weekend. And thankfully for us, Traavik had also recorded the performance and posted it on YouTube and it has since gone viral on the internet. Indeed, they do play with a lot of heart.
