Khaen solo by Jonny Olsen. Lam Phi Fa ລຳຜີຟ້າ, singing to call the sky spirits, occurs when a patient who does not respond to either traditional or modern medicines, is thought to have become ill because spirits have been offended. Ritualists, usually older women accompanied by a khaen and percussion instruments, sing to invite the offended spirits to enter their bodies and reveal the cause of the illness, while the patient observes the ritual. It occurs in a home around an assortment of ritual objects ( kheuang busa )and may last several hours. A molam seun (a ritualist)ministers to a sick person whose khuan (a kind of soul or spiritual essence)has left. The ritualist uses magic formulas to call this essence back, singing the melody from the genre of Lam Sohm.
