Show this to your driverLaodabao: the Lahu village that sings, with shows mainly on public holidays
Laodabao, Menggen village, Jiujing township, Lancang County
Laodabao is a Lahu village of little more than a hundred households where nearly everyone sings; its troupe reached national television in 2005, and the villagers set up their own performing company in 2013. The show mixes unaccompanied part-singing, guitar songs and the reed-pipe and swaying dances, and visitors can join in the circle dance. Around the show, walk the village lanes past the stilt houses and the workshops for spinning tops, reed pipes, root carving and weaving.
What locals sayHoliday audiences praise the unaccompanied part-singing most; on an ordinary day you'll find a working village rather than a stage.
