Hmong Songs of Memory by Victoria Vorreiter

Ethnographic Film Trailer at www.tribalmusicasia.com
Set against a rural backdrop of small, remote villages in northern Laos and Thailand, the Hmong Songs of Memory Ethnographic Film offers an intimate look at Hmong secular and sacred music that propels traditional daily life. Cycles-of-life pieces are performed through song, mouth harp, side-blown flute, folk clarinet, single free reed pipe, and multiple free reed pipes. Sacred chants and ritual percussion instruments unfold during a full shamanic healing ceremony. Translations appear in both the Hmong and English languages. (2016, 75 minutes)

I’m so used to not equating our ritualistic music as music that it caught me by surprise to see instruments for shaman practices and funerals. This is very beautiful and makes me feel very nostalgic.

This is how the Indians speak to the spirits and we do this too. Both shamanism.
