The epic musical tradition of the Miao people

01:10

The ancestors of today's Miao people migrated numerous times to avoid conflicts and upheaval. Fearing that their history would be lost over time, they turned their memories into songs. Serene, ethereal, yet majestic and melancholy, the mysterious ancient songs of the Miao people form an epic musical tradition that chronicles events from the birth of the universe up to their own great migration. They describe the origin of man and all other living things, as well as the daily life and activities of the Miao people.
