A friend passed this site along, and as North Korea is supposedly a die-hard Juche state, it surprised me that they actually have a streaming service for local music. Because Bandcamp, Spotify and others may or may not be under pressure from Western governments to not allow this sort of thing on their platform (though they allow every other kind of oddity), it seems the North Koreans have made Juchify.com to satisfy the curiosity of foreigners like me as well as developing their own listener base at home. Odd, but interesting.
