Résumé
The Brao people are 60000 people, living in southern Laos and northeast Cambodia, they belong to the Mon khmer family and are the first inhabitants of this area. With other ethnic groups in Cambodia and Vietnam, animist ceremonies are using gong ensembles to go along buffalo sacrifices and rice alcohol consumption. Playing gongs requires as many people as gongs, on this cd the various Brao sub groups of Attapeu and Champasak provinces of southern Laos perform with different numbers of gongs ( 3 gongs is less and less used, 5 gongs has become the norm, 8 or 10 or 13 gongs are also being played according to the occasion ) and different gongs ( the nipple gongs being more or less called gawg, the flat gongs being called ceng and additional small pair of cymbals called char.
