Dok champa by DjClick & Wongpakai
This studio album aims to become a true artistic bridge between France and Laos. Designed as an immersive experience, these 14 tracks combine the richness of traditional Laotian music with the modernity of contemporary compositions.
The music intertwines to create a unique mosaic, highlighting the splendor of Laotian landscapes, precious moments (the heart of life), and collections of traditional instruments (khene, saw ua, oneat, kongyong).
Carried by the electronic textures of DJ Click, the instrumental arrangements of Thomas Julienne, and the captivating voice of Wongpakai Sitthidet.
The listener is invited on a sensory journey where Laotian spirituality interacts with musical innovation, celebrating a shared and universal culture.
