NOUTHONG PHIMVILAYPHONE - compilation

          NOUTHONG PHIMVILAYPHONE - compilation         
nice little recommendation recently. minimal music from laos, recorded between 1977 and 1981. via amiata media >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< - i just let the lam be the lam and focussed on the talented soloist merely: only instrumentals here - i found the duo- & trio-tunes way too much for my ears.
