Cool! I met some of the band members before.
Thanks for sharing this clip
This group needs to be recognize by the hmong community as the all time lendary group. THese guys were truly rock stars ahead of their times.
+Kinjin Ku the beatles to hmong
Their actually filled with music theory. It's impressive for their time.
Wow, very nice documentary on this band. We all listened to their music in the early 80s and still do now. Love Kaab Nqos Vaas. 👍👍❤️❤️
Greatest Hmong band ever
They are Legend
1982 I was still in Thailand I got here 85 I still have their cassettes lol
This group is truly Hmong icon.
The grandpas look very handsome when they were young.
this is OG style back in 80's I love these song .
Take me back to 80's Please!!!
What a classic. Their interview reminds me of the korean boy band these days. They have paved the way for hmong bands after them.
my dad, Haam Choj, is in MN. The band no longer plays with each other as most of the band members are in RI still. Let me know if you are interested in my Dad and his partner, Lee Lue. I had them play at my best friends wedding and the old folks had a great time.
My uncle us ntawv vaaj, he is survived by 1 sister left. I would love to ask your dad about my late uncle since i have never met him but he played a big role in our family
Haven't seen Haam Choj nor Lee Lue play for several years now. Hope they are doing well. No one comes close to Haam Choj when it comes to playing keyboard, even with today's young Hmong kids. Haam Choj can play many instruments, any style and he can sing in any language. I had played with him before. The guy is a Hmong legend. 👍👍❤️❤️
Fucken Sweet
wow...1982! I was born in '81. i like this band! more songs please!!
This is so cool! Thank you for uploading this. This band was a legend in their own time and also an inspiration to a lot of uprising band of the 80's.
providence rhode island we left way before that..
Echabey!!!
We should do something. I'm not anybody important but I'm a person n voice. This has been on my mind for years, but I've been distracted n busy. But truthfully I know my ppl want to go home n if not now then never. I'm out of generation where we can move on but I know we're not supposed to and if we do we're supposed take care of all of our veterans that fought in the CIA secret war because the majority of our people were the ones that died for the American. Every 10 Hmong died to save one america life n yet we can't retrieve what's owed to us? It's not like we decided to fight for a cause it was like we had no choice and because we were backed into a corner, means we're bullied and pushed aside like we don't matter but too many of our Hmong people had died for no cause and lost everything we know for no cause till this day they're still are people in the mountains confused and lost about this war and we go on about our lives because we don't live it don't see it. I want to make a change so bad n I know our parents and grandparents deserve it because their story are so similar and sad. Truthfully at the time of the war we were secret because the president and law makers were lying to the American citizens and use us Hmong ppl(unknown to most in the world) as we initiated provoked or even made himself sound like they were trying to save our people in the meantime it was the American that put our people in that place. So does this mean that we don't get any veterans pay or health care for the people that did fight in the war and can't work due to their injuries trauma and age now. Still an American CIA secret partnership in war. When we're not anymore and ppl know now. Why aren't my ppl taking care of? Why aren't we promised what we were then or now? Why isn't anybody addressing this? More than half of us suffered and/or died. What about my ppl?!? We need to stand up together as one to take care of our ppl. Idk why no one tries anymore.
Nice bowl cut
It's strange that the guy refers them as "cricket" because "Kaab Nqausvas" does not mean cricket at all. In our country, Kaab Ngausvas is really a, "Cicada," which is a form of tree bug that thrives by the hundreds and thousands as they sing loudly across the forest. They are hardly crickets (not the same).
Heu T koj hais yog lawm
funny you say that lol this is the early 80's we talking bout
Xav pom cov no seb tam sim no lawv laus li cas lawm ne
Man, where do all those hairs go? Love the 80's. My hair use to be that long too. LOL
Man I remember my dad had that hairstyle too back then lol
They played nice Gibson Les Paul back then, it is the most expensive guitar ever. Can't afford one.
This is so cool! It's such an amazing thing to happen here. Their english is good too. Love the way back then dressed up.
i like!!!! OLD SCHOOL BAND!!!!
Long Cheng....one of the greatest song .
one of the hardest songs for me to find on YT cuz i can’t spell. sometimes i think it’s long teing
any chance you can up load more?
Interesting.... Veryy... interesting...
LOL ...The "CRICKETS" that is funny. I still enjoy seeing my cousins and brother in-laws in this video. LONG LIVE THE "CRICKETS"... A reunion would be excellent.
hus tau zooheev os phooj ywg kuv pab nias raukoj lawm es koj niasrau kuv thiab os
omG this is so cool! im from RI too! i didnt even know there was a band from there!
I do not believe MrKouang is so cool that he can call this music gay. These guys are like the BEETLES to the Hmong people and yes I said that it was funny because the interviewer called my cousins the "crickets" but please pay your respects. It takes a tremendous effor/guts to get on stage and perform in front of hundreds/thousands of people. Music is suppose to have meaning and not just noise like the today's so called music. Long Live Kaab Nqausvas..
ม้งเก่ง
check out that hairstyle though rockstars
I was born 83...we're hecka old now...
Wow I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. If you have more information on how to get this documentary, please let me know. Thanks.
holy shit! that means u guys r better than kls!
HMF need to bring back some oldie band.
Corrections Kaab Nqaus Vas (Kab Nqos Vias) is not Cricket. Cricket is Kab Civ Liv. I'm not sure what the english name is but the narrator is incorrectly interpreting the name of the band.
These guys are like elvis for the Hmong people world wide...or should I say the Beattles back in the 70s......great band....
Yeah I would like to know how to get a copy of this!
where can i get a copy of this whole documentary ....or could u upload all of it , it would be nice
Anyone know if any members of "The Crickets" are still alive? We got an event coming up, & I will pay them to be our special guest.
Shy Vang, one of the band members , Haam Choj ( guitarist and keyboard)is in Mn.

Man, they were handsome! Sad that my generation don't have handsome men like them anymore.
Yeah, they were the " total package " for music in that generation( the skills, the looks and the clothes) 😂😂
Yes, I would too! Let me know where I can find this.

Ohhh! I love them. hahahaha. I have a tape of theirs. xD
wow 82... i was just born lol....
I dont think this doc of the band or hmong people during this time was gay I thought they were AWESOME. They made us WHO we are now. Without them WE may not be here in where we are now.
WoW...These are a hand full of white folks that knew the Hmong and understood our Hmong people, and now their old and retired....too bad majority of the american populations dont know us...
These are the first wave from our mother land.
they are way better than KLS dude. they are the best.
@hmoobmusic1 KLS
i can not imagine my parents dancing that that! how gay!
Give your daddy some credit because no one speak well in English back in 1978-tha'ts 31 years ago. Back then they speak sign language...lol
