Tribal musical instruments - Hmong
Songs and legends of the Hmong tell of the motherland with icy terrain and harsh winters. Originally from Mongolia, Siberia and Tibet, the Hmong migrated to the Yellow River and settled in lower Yangtze in southern China. In the 1700s they moved to South East Asia .

Their music is an extension of speech, a sacred medium of song, poetry and prayer made all the more melodious by their tonal language.

Musical instruments like mouth harps, flutes, strings and reeds provide a musical extension of their language. Musical instruments take on magical and sacred importance. Music is life.
