Music in Myanmar

11 06 2007

They love to cover western songs in the local language.

So far we have heard: Bon jovi, Coldplay, Savage Garden, Westlife, Korn.

And in other music news, Ronan Keeting of Boy band fame recently ‘toured’ Cambodia. his excuse for poor ticket sales was that locals thought he had ripped off the local artists tunes. not the other way around.

He did add that now that hes the first ’superstar’ to tour here in 30 years, it paves the way for other great acts :)



Kalaw

Spent the last 2 days hiking in the hills around Kalaw.  Stayed at a mountain top lodge run by a Nepalese family. Top spot.

But you’ll believe me as the pics wont be up till im back in Thailand.
