That first one is Geoff Alexanders site which at first glance seems quite good, but he got quite a lot of things wrong originally, especially on the morlam buy list. Just had another read of this and although he changes some things he still confusingly lists many luktung singers-then says they are not recommended. He does not recommend Tai Oranthai for exapmle,one of the best singers around today but then what's she doing on his morlam list? Chamermpol Malekham he still lists as a pop singer and again does not recommend along with siriporn :: The second one is by a guy called Paul in London, he filmed the Jintara concert in London last year, wonder what he did with it? he does a newsletter on world music, his main interest is Japanese, think his GF is from there.There are some interesting Laos sites in English such as lao hub which have music sections, but most Laos ex pats seem not to appreciate morlam, they seem to prefer 'lao hip hop' ::-peter
