Vietnam - Hmong. The Art of Attraction.

Languages: French, English and german subtitle

Vietnam/Hmong - The Art of Attraction features many examples of the folk music from Hmong culture. The video also explains how deeply this music resonates within that society. In the mountainous Northern area of Vietnam, Hmong are a living illustration of the level of refinement that can be attained by the cultivation of beauty in a traditional society.

Thanks to the clarity of the voice-over comments, viewers are introduced to the distinctive instruments (Jew's harp, hurdy-gurdy, clarinet, free-reed aerophones, etc.), dresscodes, musical genres (love songs, songs of glory...) and oral literature that contributes to the art of seducing the world of the Living, as well as the Spirits of Ancesters.

A beautifully shot, carefully edited testimony, directed by Patrick Kersalé.
This DVD that shall leave any viewer charmed, should meet the expextations of a large audience of remote cultures enthusiasts.
