Champasac is the southern province of Laos, bordering Cambodia and Thailand. For centuries it was a small Lao Kingdom.
The Nyaheun are a very small ethnic group, belonging to the Mon-khmer family like most of other ethnic groups in the area. Like most ethnic 'minority' group, they have been forced by the Lao government to abandon swidden agriculture and their forest and have been moved to villages by the side or the road, on dry land.
Their music combines gongs, mouth organs and a very melancholic singing called "molam".
