Résumé
The Brao number 60 000 people and live in southern Laos and northeast Cambodia. They belong to the Mon-khmer ethno-linguistic family and are the first inhabitants of this area. As with other ethnic groups in Cambodia and Vietnam, animist ceremonies feature gong ensembles accompanying buffalo sacrifices and rice alcohol consumption. A specificity of the Brao is their way of reciting epic ancient tales or various histories. The special technique requires the man to lie down on his back with the head constantly panning from left to right. Ya Ien is an old man of the Brao community in Taveng northern Ratanakiri who has the ability to go on all night reciting epic story including the names of ancestors.
