Musique et chant La musique traditionnelle lao est pourtant riche, en particulier le chant, qui exprime les traditions et l'âme des différentes ethnies. Il existe une forme de musique académique, accompagnée de danses, d'inspiration religieuse, qui a pour thème récurrent le Ramayana lao. C'était un spectacle de Cour. Aujourd'hui, il ne se donne plus qu'à l'occasion des fêtes et... dans certains hôtels pour touristes. La musique ethnique est restée plus vivante. Surtout dans les campagnes.

    Extractions: 368 users online hotels in asia - thailand Hotels in Asia Australia hotels Thailand Hotels Vietnam Hotels Japan Hotels The Laotian culture attributes its richness to Laotian art and sculpture, music and cuisine. Bronze is the most common metal for Laotians with gold and silver images all along. The smaller and minor images are usually made of precious metals while most of the bigger statues are in bronze. Theravada Buddhism being the dominant religion in Laos, many traditional images of Buddha in various stages of his life like his birth, enlightenment and death are prominent throughout Laos. The majority of these images are in bronze, which is called .samrit. in Laos. The huge bronze images prevalent in Laos include Phra Ong Teu, Vat Chantabouri and Vat Manoram. Laos.s ceramics were unexpectedly discovered in Vientiane area and excavated henceforth. Laos.s ceramics have clay and quartz mixed together which gives the things a light translucent green and brown glazed shade. Traditional Laotian culture is also influenced by Thai and Vietnamese cultures. Beautiful music floats through the Laotian instruments and produce exquisite tunes. Laotian music mainly includes a type of bamboo pipe called .Khaen.. Other instruments include flutes, fiddles and bells. In contrast to Thailand.s jazzy electrifying music called Mor Lam, Laotians manifest a slower, more serene and calm type of music called Khaplam Wai. In fact music plays an important role in the Laotian culture. Lao cuisine is not so much famous or exclusive in itself, so it rather uses the Vietnamese cuisine, which reigns more popularly in Laos.

    Extractions: The term "Watsa" means the rain or rainy season. the monks complete the practices of Buddha teachings during the period of three months in the rainy season without spending any nights in other places. On the 1st day of the dark moon of the eleventh month the closing ceremony for Buddhist Lent should be arranges. But, in practice, it is organized in the full moon of the fifteen in the eleventh month, one day before the due date. In the Buddha's teaching, the closing ceremony for Buddhist Lent was not decided, but Pavalana, prior notice ceremony was instead made after three months of Buddhist lent ended. So, in practice the monks made Pavalana on the evening of the full moon of the fifteen in the eleventh month. It is one day before the real closing date. After the decision is made, the oldest monk sits on his knees, joins his hands and says Pavalana in front the others in Pali language : "To you all the monks, may I notice you in advance and do not in doubt that I made mistakes or sins caused by a breach of the rules of the monastic order (Patimakkha), please warn me, to change my bad behaviour for proper behaviour acting." Then all the monks have to say the same words until its completion. The monks who completed the Buddhist Lent, can gain Anisong 5, merit making.
