Laurent Jeanneau - Music Of Northern Laos (LP)

Music Of Northern Laos is a captivating collection curated by Laurent Jeanneau, documenting the rich and diverse soundscapes of Laos's northern provinces. Captured live across Champasak, Attapeu, Sekong, and Saravan between 2009 and 2012, these immersive field recordings showcase traditional music and ritual songs from ethnic minorities, offering a rare glimpse into a region and culture often overlooked by the wider world.
