Mien (yao)

Canon Singing In China, Vietnam, Laos

Very last copy! A haunting collection of raw and otherworldly canon-style vocal music from the Mien (Yao) hill tribes across China, Vietnam, and Laos. Captured in the field by ethnomusicologist Laurent Jeanneau (Kink Gong), these recordings offer hypnotic, ethereal harmonies that echo with ritual and ancestry. Fans of Bulgarian choir, Javanese gamelan, and Sundanese vocal traditions will find deep resonance here. The Mien, part of the Hmong-Mien linguistic family, have a complex history and a rich, undocumented musical tradition_this LP offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse. Includes photo insert and detailed liner notes.
