ဝူခုန်းကို ဆရာမ သိမ်းပိုက်သွား

One night of 1996, I saw a random person singing the song which seemed to be of his own under the moon light. Afterwards my dad played a spectacular record of U Khaing Htoo named “သိလား” in our car. Those two different experiences combined together, I started to brainstorm about writing my own materials and that became one of the factors that initiated my songwriting career.

This is a tribute episode to our fallen star, Raymond of the Burmese rock band “Idiots” who passed away during military coup. His song and energy shall live on til the end of the time.

My first mini audiobook to help you sleep during chaotic times like these. The essay was originally printed in “ပမာမခန့်စာတမ်းများ” published almost a decade ago. Feel free to drop your favorite essay of mine to record next audiobook episodes.

This is to reveal how Burmese art has survived under military suppression/censorship within past few decades and where it is going under the same suppression all over again.
