This third volume in a series compiled by Laurent Jeanneau
from his continual journeys into the more remote tribal areas
of Southeast Asia features field recordings of the Giay, Lu,
Red Zao, and Black Hmong peoples from North Vietnam. The five
selections presented here by the Red Zao are of an unusual
vocal style called ôBaozooö. The Baozoo singing technique can
either be a responsive song, or canon singing where a lead
singer has his or her words repeated with delay by 1, 2 or 3
singers. WeÆve never heard anything quite like it before. The
instruments used in other selections include Kheng (Bamboo
mouth organ), jewÆs harp, bamboo sticks with coins, and the
Piem Zat (a reed instrument or oboe affiliated with Baozoo
singing). Recorded in and around Sapa, this CD includes an
extended track list with added information about each track
recorded along with insightful liner notes by Laurent
Jeanneau.

*** as you can imagine, those kind of compilations are a bitch
to tag. since the actual interpreters are mostly anonymous i
chose to make it a fake-va, so the artist for all tracks is
called "VA". also, there are no real track titles but only
descriptions of the pieces. i used part of that description as
track title. see inlay scans for details.
