Muir's Tours Laos Culture Explore the Mekong River of Lan Sang The area of north west Laos that was once the Lan Sang Empire is best experienced by a tour along the rivers as the people have done here for thousands of years. Your travel experience will be the richer, as we specialise in cultural experiences. This often involves a stay with a local family to learn more about their culture and daily activities. The local people will as a result, benefit from your travel. Sample Itinerary - 5+ Days Day 1 Chiang Khong - Huai Xai. We start by making our way to Ban Nam Keung, which is about 26 kms from Chiang Khong, here you will discover the traditional lifestyle of the Lu people. The Lu are an ethnic minority who originated from Southern China and many follow the Buddhist path. The Lu people traditionally live near a river and their houses are built on stilts, to avoid flood damage. The space below the house is used for storing fish, household tools and other equipment. Most houses will be built facing the nearest temple as a sign of respect of Lord Buddha. Overnight in a local family home or a hotel in a nearby town. L, D. Day 2 Ban Nam Keung.

Liens Cartes Photos Presse ... Pal³ontologie Liens La Musique Lao Les types d'instruments La production musicale en RDP Lao Il existe trois classifications possibles dans la musique Lao Le Lam La musique classique La musique contemporaine lao, qui comprend deux tendances, la pop et le ban na ou style country Les types d'instruments En ce qui concerne le Lam et la musique contemporaine, les instruments utilisés font partie de la famille des instruments de "groupe", une section rythmique avec une batterie et une guitare basse, une section mélodique qui peut se composer de guitares, de cuivres et claviers. En revanche la formation classique lao fait appel à des instruments de type "traditionnel", on y retrouve le plus souvent le "Khen", un orgue à bouche apparenté à un harmonium, le "Lanat", un grand xylophone dont on joue assis, des "Gongs" de plusieurs tailles qui marque la rythmique, le "Saw" qui s'apparente à un violon dont on joue assis en tailleur à la manière d'un violoncelle. La production musicale en RDP Lao Il existe à Vientiane nombre de " home studio " destinés à enregistrer et à produire les artistes laos.
