| Title: | Bronze_Drum | |
| traditional Kammu music | ||
| Kammu project by Damrong Tayanin | ||
| Coverage: | Laos | |
| Description: | Bronze drum A bronze drum is an extreme expensive for a Kammu family to buy. It costs 4 to 5 grown up water buffalos for a bronze drum. In a Kammu village with 30 to 50 houses may have 5 or 6 bronze drums, many families don't have a bronze drum. Only some rich families may have 2 to 4 bronze drums. I know there was a family in Stpuut village owned 12 bronze drums. My local lineage, we have 9 houses and we had 2 bronze drums. Our parents told us those bronze drums were bought with hair-knot. They cut off their own hair and gluing it with lac and sell it to Burmese or Chinese, but this was in our great grand parents generation. After I left home, my elder brothers bought 2 more bronze drums. And today only 1 remain. The reasons for the Kammu people play the bronze drum on some special ceremonies for example: 1) At a party when a family rebuild their house and move in a new rebuild house. (Play for good and nice reason). 2) When a family slaughter a water buffalo to make a sacrifice to the ancestors. (Play for the ancestors to listen). 3) At a funeral. (Play for the ancestors to listen). 4) When people sell their bronze drum to other villagers, they test the sound of the drum. | |
