History of Music in Laos

Laos Music is controlled by the Laos; it includes the minorities of Mien, Kmhmu, and Hmong, among many others. The most unique Laos musical instrument is called bamboo mouth organ, which is known as khene. The instrument was supposedly initiated by a woman who is trying to copy the calls of the garawek bird. The woman took the original instrument to the king, and he told her that it was fair, but he wanted more of it and she then changed the instrument and he now replied and said; Tia nee khaen dee (which means this time it was better).
