a quote by Lao Tzu that i think is beautiful, but at the same time I don't really understand it.
Music that touches the soul can cross language borders, time, and space. Ex:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Ludwig Von Beethoven
Basically just music that will be recognized for ages.
I used to be within the army 40 many years in the past, stuck with drab duty and limitless quantities of time through which to conjecture. I used to be supposed to visit an additional nation and kill people. This was not a job I believed of as honorable.
One evening I fell right into a dialog with a young exclusive, and he requested me if We have ever before go through Lao Tse. I instructed him I hadn't and asked him what it was. He advised me that it absolutely was...The Way In Which.
Now, I experienced come across the idea From the Way from the martial arts. I acquired read of it, talked about it with fellow scholars, and deemed it in gentle manner. Oddly, nevertheless I acquired been from the martial arts for any few of decades, I had no strategy that there was a book expressly uneasy With the Way.
Not extended after that I located a replicate from the book and began to study it. I dwelt upon the passages, translated the ancient Chinese language terms into terms I understood as ideal I used to be capable. I was to locate that the mere studying with the book, which just isn't a sizable volume, was a journey in itself.
There's no high devoid of lower, there is no entrance with out rear, translated into by far the most marvelous dichotomy. Oddly, I discovered that these ideas, large and reduced, front and spine, had been usable in freestyle. Certainly, as the several years passed I was to discover that the mere conjecturing of those ideas in believed, even inside middle of chaotic freestyle, brought purchase and advantage of your sizable nature.
My favorite passage of the e-book has continually been, Do very little until finally very little is left undone, as it really is positively enlightening. I'd industry upon the forks of my life towards the probability to implement this strategy. Finally, the forms carried out ten thousand situations, I started to knowledge bits and aspects of truth, and my fine art would truly interact inside effortless principles that go in the direction of doing up the Accurate Art work.
Not every single time would I find a way to generate the ideas With the Way perform in my genuine everyday life actions, however the contest was From the Way, and this contest brought me out of your field, undid the standard way of thinking, and enabled me to really be described as a seeker in action, as well as the whims of my youthful drive started to manifest. Emotions became a joy, age became a relaxation, and and still The Way nudges me hither and yon. My style transmogrifies to the lilt of this traditional rhyme, and a different entire world beckons unceasingly.
A perfect earth, the place the realization that The way in which is merely the unceasing time ahead of me has settled upon me. A entire world exactly where people obsessed with political intrigue as well as the almighty greenback fall sick by the wayside and envy me my youth and great health and fitness. A globe exactly where human being beings exist, outdoors the realm of transgressions and judgment, this is The Way that I have observed.

Well, my parents are form laos. And I can tell my dad is homesick. Lately he's been asking for me to find him videos of anything Laos related on the internet. I wanna find him a website with Laotian media. For instance, television, movies, videos, music. Anything. I just want him to feel like he's home again.

Just type in "Laos"
Laos is landlocked and lies between Thailand, Myanmar, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. The Mekong River forms the countries western border and the Anna Mite Mountains form its eastern border with Vietnam.
The total land area is approximately 237,000 sq km. An area similar to that of the United Kingdom. The main features of the country are its mountains and the Mekong River valley.
Laos has a monsoon climate of a dry and a wet season. The dry season lasts from November to May with the cooler period in December and January. At its coldest, the temperatures can fall to as low as 15. The cold periods tend to be at night and early morning with colder temperatures at higher altitudes.

Parts of the Anna mite chain are covered with tropical evergreen forest, where rainfall is highest and in the south, tropical pine forests can be found.
Laos, the land of a million elephants and one of the last places to see old Indochina. The pace of Laos is slow and its people relaxed and friendly.
There are 68 official ethnic groups in Laos, belonging to three main groups.
For much of its history, Laos has been under the thumb of its neighbours at various times the Cambodians, Burmese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Siamese. The result is that Laos has experienced great difficulty in establishing a national identity.

I heard recently that there is a new fusion of reggaeton and Lao music called laogaeton that is making history because, come on, you would think of that place as the last place in the world to find something like that (I almost had to laugh when I found out about it) and this has never happened before. This new fusion was created recently by a Lao American called Alex Tapanya also known as Alex San Dinero (he was the first one to call this fusion laogaeton), the first and only Lao reggaeton artist, after being exposed with a lot of Latin music especially reggaeton with which he fell in love with and so wanted to share it with his people of Laos. He wanted to share and bring a different form of urban music since they only knew and where interested in rap, hip hop, and RnB. So if any of you know something about it, do you know if it is becoming popular yet and is it well known? If not, do yo think it will ever become well known and popular or no?
Alex has only been in the music business for a little over a year. It wasn't something he had been dreaming and fantasizing about all his life. The whole Reggaeton thing and music fell in his lap when he invested into Bizzle Boy Productions with a couple of his friends. And since he liked Latin music so much, he decided to give it a shot to see if people would like it. His songs have been on Radio Free Asia, VOA News, Radio Xieng Kaen, Lao French radio, and a few others. Now people are really starting to hear about his work and are paying attention to his movement. He hasn't even completed his first album yet but people are talking about him in the Lao and Latin world as a pioneer. I talk to him time and time again and he's also putting out a Merengue song in Lao, too. Crazy isn't it? I think as time goes on, his work will eventually become the next biggest thing in the Lao urban/pop culture.
