Violinist Jennifer Koh Wins The Best Classical Instrumental Solo Award/ "Alone Together"  

 

K-팝 수퍼스타 방탄소년단(BTS), 코리안아메리칸 미셸 자우너(Michell Zauner), 그리고 바이올리니스트 제니퍼 고(Jennifer Koh)가 후보에 오른 제 64회 그래미상(Grammy Awards) 시상식이 4월 3일 라스베가스 MGM 그랜드가든 아레나에서 열렸다. 

 

제니퍼 고는 "Alone Together(나 홀로 함께)"로 최우수 클래식기악솔로(Best Classical Instrumental Solo)상을 수상했다. "Alone Together"는 코로나 팬데믹 중 저명한 작곡가와 재능있는 젊은 작곡가들로부터 짧은 신작을 기증받아 제니퍼 고의 연주를 디지털로 제작한 음반이다. 참가 작곡가로는 Du Yun, Vijay Iyer, Tania Léon, George Lewis, Missy Mazzoli, Ellen Reid, Wang Lu, Katherine Balch, Nina Shekhar, Lester St. Louis, Rajna Swaminathan, Darian Donovan Thomas, Sugar Vendil 등이다.

3년 연속 베스트 팝듀오/그룹 퍼포먼스 후보에 올랐던 BTS는 히트곡 "버터(Butter)"를 공연했지만, 수상에는 실패했다. 사회자인 코미디언 트레버 노아(Trevor Noah)는 BTS 멤버들에 둘러싸여 RM이 미국 시트콤 '프렌즈(Friends)'를 보며 영어를 배운 경험을 빗대어 자신도 드라마로 한국어를 배웠다면서 "무궁화꽃이 피었습니다"를 말해 웃음을 자아냈다.

재패니즈 브렉퍼스트의 미셸 자우너가 노미네이트됐던 신인 아티스트는 올리비아 로드리고(Olivia Rodrigo)에 돌아갔으며, 로드리고는  "Sour"로 팝보컬 앨범, "Drivers Licence"로 팝 솔로 퍼포먼스까지 휩쓸었다. 팝 듀오/그룹 퍼포먼스상은 "Kiss Me More"의 도자 캣과 SZA가 BTS를 누르고 그래미 트로피를 가져갔다.

    제 64회 그래미상에 BTS가 상을 탈걸로 확신했는데 또 탈락했네요. 3년 연속 후보에 올라서, 이번에는 수상자로 이름이 거론될 줄 알았는데 아니네요. 그들은 노래를 몸으로 녹이면서 불러요 뻐터나 아리랑을 듣노라면 7인의 소년단원들의 몸이 녹고있는 느낌입니다. 앞으로 이들은 병역의무도 해야하고 세월이 흐르면서 나이도 먹게되는데 심사위원들이 더 이상 상을 감추지말고 방탄소년단에게 주기를 바랍니다. 여기서 더 잘해야 수상을 한다면 어떻게해야 더 잘하는 건지 알고싶네요. 내년에는 꼭 그래미상을 BTS이 거머쥐기를 기원합니다.
    바이올린니스트 제너퍼 고가 최우수 클래식 기악 솔로상을 받아서 기쁩니다.

    아카데미상이 미국 영화제인 것처럼 그래미상도 라틴음악이나 클래식 부문이 있지만, 본래 미국 대중음악 위주의 상입니다. 그래미상은 가수, 작곡가, 프로듀서, 엔지니어, 기악연주자 등 레코드산업에 종사하는 NARAS(National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) 회원 1만2천여명이 투표합니다. NARAS는 상업적인 성공보다는 음악성을 중시합니다. BTS가 글로벌 수퍼스타지만, 그래미에서 수상하지 못한 이유 중 몇가지는 상업성과 외국인 가수들에게 대한 배타성 때문이 아닐까 생각합니다. 그래도 BTS가 그래미상을 받지 못해 아쉽지만, 3년 연속 후보에 올라 미국 대중음악과 경연한 것도 경이적인 일이지요.

    제 3세계 출신 가수로 최초로 세계적인 성공을 거둔 이는 자메이카 출신 레게 가수 밥 말리(Bob Marley, 1945-1981)로 1970년대 영국에서 발굴됐습니다. 미국에선 거의 무명이다가 1980년 뉴욕 매디슨스퀘어가든 등 미국 투어 콘서트를 연 이듬해 세상을 떠났습니다. 비영어권 가수 BTS는 대중문화 역사에 기록될 성공사례일 것입니다.
