Résumé
The Yao who call themselves Mien number more than 2.6 million people and are spread over the southern chinese provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan. They also migrated to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand in the 19th century. Belonging to the Miao-Yao (Hmong Mien) group of the sino-tibetan ethno-linguistic family they have many subgroups usually defined according to colors of their traditional clothes. They call themselves Moon, the Lantene are a subgroup of the Dark Blue Yao (Lan Tien in chinese). The People recorded here, moved to Nam Dee village in 1966 but their predecessors moved from China 100 years ago. The 2 recording songs on this CD are sung versions of written texts in ancient chinese characters, they refer to mythologies of the origin of the MOON, the story start from crossing the big ocean on 3 boats, one sank, the first one carried the people who became the MIien, the second boat carried the ancestors of the MOON and various historical records including the inner migrations to new villages or the Vietnam war. There are 2 styles of singing, the day one (manna ja sing)and the night one (beu jam sing), the later being used here, is softer and has longer tones.
