about

WA DANCE IN YUNNAN CHINA

The WA are one of the few ethnic groups in China who speak a Mon-Khmer language, an austro-asiatic language, they are 400 000 people living in southern Lincang prefecture in southern Yunnan at the boarder with Myanmar, the WA call themselves PREY and are the largest ethnic group in Lincang.

2 tracks :
The chief of NANXIE village organized for us a party gathering about 40 women of all ages dressed up for the occasion and 20 men doing this large circle dance while 2 musicians in the center playing ERHU and FLUTE, which are not traditionaly Wa instruments., the responding singing taking place between groups of women and groups of men refers to the entire repertoire of songs performed for harvest, wedding, courting. We are dealing here with an organized event, the kind of happy folkloric staged event which has been promoted by government.

RECORDED BY LAURENT JEANNEAU with HUANG PEISHAN and OLIVIER SCHNEIDER in NANXIE village, SHUANGJIANG district, LINCANG prefecture, YUNNAN province, CHINA in october 2011
