I Will Send My Song
Kammu Vocal Genres in the Singing of Kam Raw
by Hakan Lundstrom
 |
216 pp., Illustrated, with audio CD Available from NIAS Press worldwide |
An ethnomusical presentation of one person’s vocal performance of rather highly varied sets of words, manners of performance, and the use of these competences in communication with other singers. Although this orally transmitted form of singing is unique to the Kammu of northern Laos, it is related to a much larger complex in Southeast Asia and thus will be of interest to a wide group of musicologists.
