This is a collection of landmark recordings by Laurent
Jeanneau documenting music created by the Harak and various
Brao ethnic groups in Southern Laos. Here you can hear the
true historic roots of Molam music (now a venerable popular
music style in Laos and Thailand) played on the Khaen along
with vocal styles from this region. Also featured here are
Gong ensembles, various stringed instruments, cymbals, drums,
and sung poetry all captured live on location with the ambient
sounds of the surrounding villages. These recordings were made
in Xekong, Champasak and Attapeu provinces and because much of
this music is unknown, this is probably the first time
recordings have ever been released of indigenous music from
these remote areas of Southern Laos. This is the second
release in a series of spectacular field recordings from some
of the more remote ethnic minority communities in Southeast
Asia. Features insightful liner notes by Laurent Jeanneau and
extended track listing with added information about each track
recorded.

*** since the actual interpreters are mostly anonymous i chose
to make it a fake-va, so the artist for all tracks is called
"VA". for detailed information please refer to the attached
