LUANG PRABANG, Laos - April 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Laos' national musical instrument, the Khene can trace its origins to Southeast Asia's Bronze Age. It is sometimes called the harmonium or accordion of the east. The instrument is made of a special kind of bamboo, the pipes are connected with a small, hollowed-out hardwood reservoir into which air is blown, creating melodious sounds. It is those sounds we would like you to lose yourself in.
