Review

A reissue of a 1973 recording with uncorrected (and often misinformed) annotations, the music is nonetheless of interest, including solo khene mouth organ, lam singing, and an excerpt of the buffalo sacrifice ceremony by uplanders from the Vietnamese-Lao border. ~ Terry Miller, All Music Guide
