Unbelievable !! Perfectly traditional classical Lao dance !! It sound like heaven on earth !! Thanks Pandashekki for uploading.

Very nice, but poor Iu Mien dancer. The traditional outfits could have been better.

What a slap on the face for the Iu Mienh dancer. She doesn't even have her "la'sin," which wraps around her wrist. Where are the silver jewelries? Like the fact that the Mien is part of this dance, but the representation is poor.

I am one of the tribes in here.

I really like the show with all the different outfits and wish it is more clearer.

I noticed that lao peoples are nice, kind hearted, truobled no one. Our cultures are so much enriched with arts,musics, dances, but most importantly, we are harmoneously co-exist with our neighbors, and our environments. We are gentled by nature that is why from our forefathers until today, we were being exploited, enslaved, subjugated by our neighbors, Siamese, Veitnanese, and Chinese, exception to Khemer.

I love this dance so much ! it means a lot for all Lao people !

[SerranoPepperEaters]

I agree with you and you have a point ! We can live happily together ! God bless all Lao people !

laogirlfresno why are you so upset about Hmong ? They are also Lao people as well as other tribes. Who ever was born in Laos is considered as Lao people and has Lao citizenship. Do you understand ? Please respect every ethnics / tribes in Laos and everyone is equal. Accept the fact would you ?

My grandfather fought in the Vietnam war. I visted Laos before and there are still some Viet ppl there. They live there and also speak Lao. We are now Lao people's Democratic Republic. I'm not tryna be mean or act smart here, just putting the facts out there.

@12563longkhang What do you mean WE HMONG? Well, Hmong ppl are also Lao ppl. Just one of the diff tribes in Laos. There are also diff Hmong ppl from other south eastern Asian countries. And we were not communist, Vietnam came into our country, took over for a while and made us communist.
