Sert’s Kaen Song

This is a great example of traditional music from Isaan, which is a general term for northeast Thailand. I got to see people playing this instrument, called a Kaen, when I was there four years ago. It is a wind instrument with air holes for fingering and internal reeds, from what I can tell. It certainly sounds like there are some reeds inside there.

I have really enjoyed James Quilty’s videos on Vimeo. I will likely not put all his videos on this site, so be sure to go there to check out his others.
