Khaen is a traditional musical instrument of Laos and the Northeast (Isan) region of Thailand and is considered a symbol of the Lao ethnic group as well. This type of musical instrument uses blowguns of various sizes together to form a cane. The can is a dryer with a metal tongue. The sound comes from the wind through the metal tongue along the cane tree trunk. Blowing the cane requires both inflating and sucking air. So it's hard to blow and the cans come in many sizes. It is a musical instrument that gives a beautiful sound. is unique Create your own harmonious sound Indicates the way of life of the indigenous people in the Mekong River Basin as well. Who invented the musical instrument called "Kaen" was the first and why it was called "Kaen", there is no definite evidence to confirm it.🇹🇭🙏👍
I'm Thai, but Khaen is origine is Lao, since colonial power came, Issan in Thailand force to stop played ( it is ht political reasonKhaen by political reasonscared France aka Indo-China tryto claim people and lands in Issan then Issan create there own Khean version, you will saw it difference from original Khaen from Laos and Issan Khaen nowadays)
@@NattapolPhorueng You're just being brainwashed by colonial mindset. khaen has existed since at least 2,500 years ago and that predate even before the birth of Thai or Laos ethnic. at the time there were only peoples who call themselves Tai and not even move to modern-day Laos yet (oldest Khaen discovered at south west china nearby Dian bian fu, Vietnam) Both Thai and Laos are literally same peoples share same ancestors, you have been tricked into falling into a myth from colonialism period that told you to believe that those place is Laos This place is Thailand even though concept of nation wasn't a thing around here. please thrown away your nationalism BS and just enjoy the music.
watching this vid... two things happened: happiness just overcome and tears of joy just welled up maybe the root of where i was raised were lao and issan.
