Résumé
Dali, lijiang and the Lugu lake are probably among the most known tourist destinations of Yunnan province, where the tourist can easily discover the most visible part of these cultures, Dali with its Bai s Dongjing associations, Lijiang with its Naxi s Alili choir and dance, Lugu lake with its Mosuo s tibetan buddhist temples. So here we are with these 3 touristic spots promoting 3 authentic music / religious rituals, what I call the peak of the iceberg ! To start with the Bais, the Dongjing associations are a relic of the past where some Bai elite associated with chinese imperial power started to form those music clubs were the Bai notables started getting into chinese orchestral forms, it is rather ironic to see nowadays Han tourists coming to Dali to discover ancient BAI music, where they are actually discovering ancient non Bai orchestral music ensembles. In Lijiang the Naxis also have dongjing musical associations with their own specificity, but here we are facing another cliche of Naxi culture : the Alili dance, gathering about 10 different groups of 10 old women dancing in circle, responding to eachothers and in this case are singing wedding songs for the Naxi march festival. The 3rd part are recordings of Mosuo lamas ( tibetan buddhist monks ), the Mosuo families around Lugu lake give a son to the tibetan monasteries, established in the area for at least 300 years.
