Moustache Brothers - Comedians in Mandalay/Myanmar. A Digital Mindshift.

sugarmelon.com visited the Moustache Brothers in Mandalay/Myanmar, Burma in April 2009 and had some interesting talks and discussions with them.

The Moustache Brothers in Mandalay/Myanmar

One example: In Mandalay/Myanmar I met three famous comedians Par Par Lay, Lu Zaw und Lu Maw from Moustache Brothers. They are performing at their home a sort ofcomedy, classical Burmese dance and are critizizing the totalitarian Burmese military regime, which is completly forbidden in Myanmar. They have been in prison a lot of times and are not stopping in fighting and performing for democracy and keeping on informing tourists and locals about the real situation in Myanmar (read more about The Moustache Brothers on Wikipedia).

When I was interviewing them, they told me, that Social Media like Blogs, YouTube, Flickr are helping them to survive and helping to change the situation. As long as we are talking about them, as long as we are are sharing insights and news about them, they can go on.
