CHAMPASAC PROVINCE IN LAOS (NYAHEUN / BRAO LAVE / LAO)
- Ref. MX9164
- KINK GONG, 2006.
"Champasac is the southern province of Laos, bordering Cambodia and Thailand, for centuries it was a small kingdom, the 5 last tracks on this cd are played by 10 old LAO men, former musicians of the royal court of Champasac that disappeared in 1975, this music is heavily inspired by khmer royal music. The NYAHEUN is a small ethnic group, which music combines gongs, mouthorgan and melancholic molam (singing). The BRAO called LAVE by the Lao in Champasac, are good gong players, but most gongs have disappeared and are harder to find than in Cambodia, they belong to the MON khmer family and are the first inhabitants of this area. With other ethnic groups south and east, they share a lot musically, especially the fascination for gong playing in animist ceremonies,. but also similar bamboo instruments. Most ethnic minority people have been forced by the lao government to abandon swidden agriculture and their forest and have been moved in villages by the side of the road, on dry land, Champasac is one sad example of this policy." (notes de la pochette)
