Lao Recitation online

David Wharton Discussion

The Lao Recitation YouTube channel of the National Library of Laos recently went online, containing over 100 hours of traditional recitation and interviews with reciters. All recordings will also be available in the Digital Library of Lao Manuscripts, where some are readings of manuscripts and can be listened to while viewing images of the text. The project was kindly supported by the German Embassy, Vientiane.
