Review by Nuttawat Niamsiri

Bamboo On The Mountains is an album by Kmhmu that has been receiving rave reviews from music critics and fans alike. The album is a fusion of traditional Kmhmu music with modern electronic beats and features a variety of instruments such as the khene, the bamboo mouth organ, and the mor lum drum.

The album is a celebration of the Kmhmu culture and heritage, and showcases the rich musical traditions of this ethnic group from Laos. The songs are a mix of upbeat dance tracks and slower ballads, each one telling a story that reflects the experiences and struggles of the Kmhmu people.

Kmhmu's vocals are powerful and emotive, and the instrumentation is expertly crafted to create a sound that is both unique and captivating. The album is a testament to the talent and creativity of Kmhmu, and is a must-listen for anyone interested in world music or electronic music.
