NOUTHONG PHIMVILAYPHONE
Nouthong Phimvilayphone is a master of the Khène (hand-held mouth organ) who has spent his life learning the various regional styles of Laotian music.
Although he has dedicated himself mainly to accompanying the Lam (the greatest traditional musical from Laos is structured like a "competion" alternating between a man and a woman), he is also a talented soloist on both the Khène and the flute, having mastered a vast repertoire of traditional music from throughout Laos.

TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
The mysterious timelessness of the traditional music of Laos transports the listener to far-away lands with its serene melodies and minimal, trance-like sequences.
This is an incredibly rich recording of one of the most representative Ensembles of Laos.
Traditional Laotian music is something of a specialty in relation to the music of the surrounding countries: its melodies are generally polyphonic making it unique in South East Asia.
A musical tradition to discover, very ancient and yet very modern for us.
