[mega408]

[AdventureQuestGame2]

looj ceeb, we sing at school on hmong culture day and dance

[pajsibhlub]

Every time I listen to this song, my heart is restless.

[TheKL3Shay]

OMG, this is a C L A S S I C! ! !

[YugLosUaHmoob]

THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN AND COMPOSED BY AS CAS, LIS POV AND AS FAR AS I KNOW KAB QUAS VASS, NEVER HAD PERMISSION TO REMIXED ...THEY USED MANY OF HIS SONGS WITHOUT PERMISSION.

[YugLosUaHmoob]

This song was written and composed by archan, Lis Pov and sang by Kab Qos Via's band back in early 80 posibly....

[KillerXify]

THIS SONG IS gay. LOl jk. FIrst time i heard this was i think in 1994. I was only a kid XD!

[cuteness559]

dayem..this song reminds me of when we first came to America..back in P-town, Rhode Island 1980..so much memories!!

[kevinhawj13]

Can someone send me the lyrics please.

[berry24]

Holy Shiit!!!! This is my jam xD

[iprep87]

What a fantastic Hmong oldie!! I am impress that many younger folks still remember these songs. Listening to these songs brings back many memories :)

[marypoopie]

HMONG = FREEDOM

[CfuHmong]

[modey69]

[Megayang10]

[AngelandEthan]

[kevinhawj13]

[terran8803]

GREAT song.... Remember me of my Grandpa...

[smanshouse]

Kab Nqaus Vas....omg BEST Hmong BAND ever

[hmongkife]

my people will live in peace one day.

[othao12]

This song is great it tells of a great struggle that the Hmong people endure during the Vietnam War. It's sad that so many people's lives were lost protecting this stronghold. Looj Ceeb will forever be the greatest city for the Hmong people.

[othao12]

I love this song it expresses the courage the Hmong people took to build a great city and watch it crumble down after the war. Looj Ceeb is the stronghold for the Hmong people during the Vietnam war. It's a song I'll never forget.

[tharrok]

Man I want the tab for this song lol

[love1u4]

sooooo... classicccccccccc....

[HmongChaoFa]

seeing this bring tears to the eyes. just think that this could be a thriving hmong city 30yrs after but instead, it's no more than an abandon ghost town with mostly phub thawj and nplog living there now. tu sab vim moob paab tsi tau moob tug kheej. tu sab vim kuv ruas ncu tau miv miv txug looj ceeb xwb vim kuv tseem yau heev rua lub caij kws peb tau nyob hu looj ceeb.

[cuteness559]

dam..this song reminds me of growing up back in the east coast..Providence, Rhonde Island.. when we first came to the U.S....back in the early 80's...nice song by the way!

[Aeristaryang]

Kab Quas Vias = Hmong version of Johnny Cash.

[uzumaki047]

Kab Quas Vias reminds me of Johnny Cash...like the guitar palying and the voice

[livetosolveproblems]

fung pai pai ma ma kor yang mai pho. I got the last glance at Long Cheng before I left Laos on April 6, 1987. imagine the place and miss the people (Hmoob). The air strip was full of cattle droppings-no plane, car or truck.

[themid9star]

u can record right off here

[yellowmelon35]

Such a classic...never get tired of this song. =) thanks for sharing ur vid.

[Yengumz]

Hi there,

Do u know who the singer of this song is? I really like his voice and songs but i cant find them because i dont know his name. lol if u do know please write me back, that would be awesome! Thanks

[zoolaj]

He pass away in the 80's The Band was Kabnqosvias.

[imJESUSmaster]

anyone know where i can download this song anywhere.

[niggershitbitch]

just great

[YamTwvHuab]

Is this version Kaab Nqaus Vas or Lis Pov? It's sang in White Hmong, so I am wondering because Kaab Nqaus Vas seems to have a different version. Anyone know?

[glyboual]

Thank you so much for posting this video. It reminded me so much of my dad time. He's passed on but I have many good memories of him to last a life time.

Ge

[asianrightwatcher]

This is always a good song forever. Every time when the word Long Cheng spoke, it always remind us about the legacy of the The General.

[maovanglo]

i remember listening to this song when i was little. my dad use to always play it and it would always use to bug my mom because my mom said it reminds my dad of his ex-girlfriends. but still these songs are the best, no one can ever make songs this good anymore. Classics!!!!!

[seize7days]

I listen to this as a kid. Still awesome stuff.

[genxcop123]

where did u get the old vid of the villiages***

[abntxhais]

it's not that the new generation of hmong music isn't good. But these classics, they hit you somewhere in the heart. it makes you appreciate and grow because there's so much passion in how they deliver their music.

[skcooky]

I totally agree with you!

[limasite85]

I think it's because of the war, everybody left their homes, yearning to return and everybody's hearts were broken. A time of great memories, tragic too. The song just takes you to another time and place. Reminiscing the past is powerful.

[Touaphengsengxiong]

never been to long cheng but ive been to the central part of laos....its like deja vu

inside i knew i was home and so close to the town where i was born

[hmongtauthi]

i wish i have this movie and song

[MPDgroup3]

i love this song i've heard this when very little and still love it

[hlubkoj20]

i wish i was born during the time of these hmong classics. Even though im in the new generation of music, i like hmong classics other than any other type of music

[23GT35R]

I heard this song when I was really little.

[MsKayBabyyy]

Classic ;) This reminds me of my dad when we were younger . Haha I love this kinda stuff . Let's all keep our rots aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[tsab1993]

im pretty sure this is the voice of lis pov...

[imperfectgal89]

nope, its not lis pos. its kabqausvaag. i have dis song..but is more likely a lost song for this generation. only some still know and have it.

[billyyaj69]

great music

[hiimfxu]

I haven't heard this song is ages. I used to play the keyboards for this song in my brothers band in the 90's.

[maslisxyooj]

Where can I get a CD of these oldies? R they even on CDs? I would love to get a copy for me and my Dad....It would be awesome!!!! Please let me know- thanks!

[bigboymedia]

I purchased this during Hmong New Year in Thailand last year. I am not sure if it is sold in the U.S. You can try Hmong ABC Bookstore in St. Paul.

[mizlis]

[hmoobmusic1]

@MrBabeeNai because it supports the band. they recorded these over 30 years ago. they put in a lot of work to record these back when " WE " the Hmong first arrived. We just remastered all the CD's and they are for sale at the Hmong flea markets in MN.  please ask for Kaab Nqausvas albums 1-4

[URAISANGYANG]

Hey,Dnsuck, I do think like you. If each on eof us think like this ,I 'm sure the world id pretty beautiful. This music I used to listen too,but I never have any cassette. Let's not only stand for ourselves but the entire Hmong people.

[anac0nda]

anyone know where I can buy this cassette...?

[bigboymedia]

I bought it in Thailand.

[cxiong92]

hey i been trying to figure out who plays this song do any body knows? please get back to me thank u...........

[bigboymedia]

Kaab Nqaus Vas

[moobhaam]

What many people don't know or don't realize is that "Kaab Nqaus Vas" is a mix between Mong Leng and Der. To correctly write this in Mong Leng, it should have been "Kaab Nqog Vaas."

[moobhaam]

[GaoJay1]

@bigboymedia hey i thought Pov lis was the singer ...???

[touxiongable]

kab nqos via, but sadly the singer passedaway

[touxiongable]

@cxiong92

[tojtaug]

@cxiong92 This song belong to Kab Nqosvia Band-an early band of the Hmong song back in pre 1976 right after this band left laos for third world resettlement due to communist took over laos.

[1mry]

the comment on how its a jungle is funny...not to be mean but the person sounds like a fresh off the boat so he might be right... :P

[kamenriderv9xxx]

maixhaothao123 Kuv kuj yog ib tug tub rog pab Nias Phoos Vaj POv tam sim no peb hmoob tawg ua sab ua sua tsis txawj sib hlub sib pab hmoob lub neej yog muab piav los txog mob siab thiab kua muag poob

[micrheu]

mai mai mai...chillax, kid.

[dnzsuck]

Hey mai,, calm down.. he or she has a right to his or her opinion. But I agreed with you. We should not forget we are HMONG. Not Yang, Chang, xiong, Vang, etc.. just HMONG. The chinese divided us and that's now we got conquered. Let's not divide ourselves.

[kamenriderv9xxx]

how about ViB Nais yig Hmoob Lub Ceeb Tsheej

[tzerge2070]

I had lived in this city for 2 years. At this time I was only 5 or 6 years old. Thank you for posting Long Cheng for us to remember. Looj Ceeb yog Hmoob lub chaw nco.

[Chai07]

hey whats the name of this song or the name of the album i've been looking for it for so long i wana start collecting hmong music for future reference

[txhuasijhawm]

the name of the song is Looj Ceeb

from Kaab Nqaus Vas

[LyricalLordz]

I thought the original singer was Lis Pov?

[txhuasijhawm]

you know what... i really don't know who the original is... but i remember this song is in the Kab Nqos Vias/Kaab Nqaus Vas' album...

[hueyvue]

it is Lis Pov

[jcx69]

@hueyvue, I think the writer was Lis Pov because Lis Pov doesnt really sing, its usually Lis Pheej, but this version is Kab Nqos Vias (Roger Y Vang)

[ricesta]

lis pov does sing....nigga is u crazy...

[jcx69]

noticed I said, he doesn't sing that much, although he did sing Ntuj no Tuaj lawm, I havent heard him sing much, its him and Lis Xab who does the lyrics and Lis Pheej singing most of the time

[ricesta]

oh my bad...sorry bout that...well i heard most of his songs that he sings...type in lis pos n i guess you'll see some of songs that he sings...

[jcx69]

aah Lis Pos? now thats a different person, theres Lis Pov the legend and Lis Pos the star from Vinai, Lis Pov is with Lis Pheej and Lis Xab, and Lis Pos is a soloist
