Kwv Tzhiaj 
Unaccompanied Traditional Hmong Courtship Songs
Pang Xiong Sirirathasuk & T-Bee Lo
Cassette Order # OTP-942
These highly valued songs are traditionally performed in
Laos by young women and men of marriageable age. The Hmong
language is a tonal language. Within this tonal system, they
have developed special ways of communicating that touch them
very deeply. Recorded at Pang's home in Philadelphia, this
music offers a glimpse into this very old and fascinating
culture.
Audio Sample:1) Nkauj
Laug Ncas (Jaw Harp) and 2) Kwv
Txhiaj Plees (Young People's Song)
