Résumé
Champasac is the southern province of Laos, bordering Cambodia and Thailand, for centuries it was a small Lao kingdom. The Braos called Lave by the Lao, are good gong players, but most gongs have disappeared and are harder to find than in Cambodia, on this cd the musicians have restarted to play gongs only a few years ago when a canadian anthropologist was able to provide them with gongs. They belong to the Mon khmer family and are the first inhabitants of the area. The Braos are on both sides of the boarder in Cambodia and Laos, 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. Like most ethnic minority people, they have been forced by the Lao government to abandon swidden agriculture and their forest and have been moved to villages by the side of the road, on dry land, their village is often referred as Kilometer 36, 36 km south of Paxse and has 2 sides a Brao one and a Nkriang side. The Nkriang or Nye are a small ethnic group delocalized from Xekong province down to Champasac.
