The Moranbong Band performs state-sanctioned tracks like the catchy "Let's Support Our Supreme Commander With Arms."
The girls sing state-sanctioned pop songs that promote the communist dictator's message. The classic "Let's Support Our Supreme Commander With Arms" mixes a catchy synth riff with fast violin and a thumping drum beat. On stage, the girls are dressed in short army skirts, surrounded by tanks and strobe lighting.
The story of the band gives clues about taste, fashion and culture in North Korea, showing what is permitted and discouraged in the totalitarian state.
