The Drop with Danno on GFN 광주영어방송 2020.05.18 May 18th Democratic Movement 40th Anniversary Special - a podcast by Danno

As broadcast May 18, 2020. We went to our listenership here in Gwangju and asked for their songs of revolution, rebellion, and democracy on this 40th anniversary of the start of one of the greatest & most tragic events in world history, The May 18th Democratic Movement, or Gwangju Uprising, which started May 18th, 1980. We played the music in four phases:
1. The Initial Uprising: Protests at Cheonnam University and suppression by paratroopers there create a violent confrontation that spills into downtown Gwangju's streets.
2. Liberated Gwangju: The protesters organize & commandeer police stations & arms depots around the city, eventually driving the army into the suburbs.
3. The Crackdown: The army closes off the city & attacks several days later, summarily executing hundreds and arresting & torturing many more while going on an orgiastic spree of violence around the city.
4. The Aftermath & Flowering of Democracy in Korea.
Thanks to our listeners, we're so grateful!
