[KS] Help with North Korean song identification

[CedarBough T. Saeji]

Perhaps someone can have more luck than I'm having with this one, since
some of you do research on North Korea.

The film project One Day on Earth (filmed 10/10/10 and again 11/11/11 in
almost every nation on earth) is based here in Los Angeles and I've
translated some of their clips, today they asked me to help with a North
Korean clip from the 65th Anniversary of the Workers' Party. The clip
starts with footage of Kim Jong-il and Jong-un listening to speeches and
then transitions into a single dance/song number. The quality of the clip
is pretty bad, but they want the song identified. After Youtube research I
found the same song/dance in context on this clip
http://youtu.be/MMhn4C0LKK8 (starting at about minute 9:50). Although other
clips in this series identify the title of a medley performance (this being
one part of such a medley), since the One Day on Earth viewer will only see
this single clip, they only want the name of this song. I tried searching
the identifiable phrases in the song and the famous DPRK songs I could
think of, but couldn't find a clear match, even with headphones on and the
volume maxed out it's just not a very clear recording.

I've devoted a bit too much time to this already, hoping one of you will
find this interesting/easy.

Have a great day,

CedarBough
