omg seriously, i am Hmong too & the thing I hate so much about some Hmong groups is that they try to use that sweet tone....it annoys me so I don't like listening to most Hmong music. The only artists that I will listen to is Paradise, Whyteshadow, & yes I admit w/ no shame...Luj Yaj.

^ haha ditto^^

I've never seen this thread around O_O.
but the singers I listen to are umm.. Luj Yaj(i like his old songs^^).
Newer groups/singers I listen to are Pagnia ^^;; (Her sister goes on soompi too^^)
Pagnia has a nice voice, although some of her songs aren't really really good(i onlyliked2songsinheralbum)
I don't listen to Hmong music that much, but there are a lot lot of hmong singers that aren't talented.

hiiii

ima hmong too=]

yaya

hmng moooosikk

ahaha

I'm reviving this thread..
but yeahhh I really like this one Hmong song
but I'm not sure what the title is
And I came here hoping maybe someone could help me.

It's the first song that is playing in this video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoplwEuMUKM


I'm in love with the lyrics <33

^ i love jjenn.
because they my girl and cause im bias.

i think hmong songs....
i think as of now... i still like the older singers.
the more newer songs, i'll take time to like,
but singers like lu yaj, me like.
thanks.

I just bought The Kong & Shu Project cd at the Fresno HNY. They're an acoustic duo and I think they're pretty good. But I like Shu's voice better but Kong sings most of the time.

Plus Shu is also a solo artist but he sings in english. He already had a cd out for some time already. I guess he's sort of alternative rock and indie and acoustic. He has a nice voice too. You can find his myspace by going to myspace music and typing in Shu Lor.

hahaha...didn't know they had a forum for hmong music
i'm hmong....
i like Mai Xyooj
and Kiana Lauj.... LP....CHICSPITTENFIRE....RAPPERS

Are you talking about that 'Lis Ceeb' movie? Well, I think I know what you're talking about. The song is called 'Koj Nyob Qhov Twg' but nowadays, Hmong people started to call it 'Ntuj No Tuaj Lawm'. It's originally sang by Lis Pov. There have been many re-mades of this song. But I always liked the original better. Go youtube it and you'll see lots of acoustic videos on that song.

Oh wow, i didn't know this thread existed ..
Anyhow, i need to get into Hmong music again.
Sounders is my favorite.. And i wonder when they'll be back.
Because... i need to get back into Hmong music..
It's much harder now too b/c of going away for college,
i don't have my mom there w/ the radio on to leave me no choice but to listen to Hmong music.
There are awesome hmong soompiers that i think should make demos though... =)

the Sounders is the best hmong band out there...thats all i have to say...=]..too bad there's no more music from them anymore...T^T

You can also find more hmong music and movies plus other varieties at : http://www.hmb.cc/forum.

*sigh* There's some good Hmong songs, but not many. So I don't like listening to them a lot.
But I love Destiny's song....what was it called...Just For Love or something?
And the songs in the movie Tou and Mai were realllly good too. ^^

I am actully not hmong but I have to admit it I use to listen to hmong music back in the day. I would listen to Paradise or whyteshadow. Some of it was actully good. Except I was never fan of any of their music videos.

Does anyone have that 24/7 Hmong channel?? I just found out it existed. lol.

ohh! Hmong thread!
I love "ONO"! They are so good!
I totally love their voices!
They're awesome!

I haven't listen to any hmong songs in ages. But now i'm back and in the mood for hmong songs.

My brother and sister in law's first dance as husband and wife was Just for Love and it was sung by my other brother. They're wedding theme was even titled "Just for Love."

i hated that remix when i first heard it...but after listening to it over and over...its goooood. =)

i hate majority of Hmong songs but some of the classics like ntuj no tuaj lawm always gets me.....

i havent been listening to hmong music for a while
but i use to love Jjens album & the song "Mas mas"

The Sounders is definitely the best hmong group! they have the voice, lyrics, music, etc. I can't wait for their new album!!!

DUDE
no hmong singer can beat LUJ YAJ
that guy is a LEGEND!!!!!
oh u forgot tub yaj hahahahaha
he's a hottie hunk ^^
and the only groups that i like that sings from america is
whyteshadow and sounders
all these current ones SUCKS
they can't sing worth crap

^ dude! luj yaj is THE LEGEND of hmong music!! no one can beat em. i also loved chamee's classic voice...that girl can sing!

Actually I think that some new singers are really good.
I like
Suddenrush
Proto J
Jeff and Cecily
Forth Dimension
Wish is ok too.

Does anybody listen to the Hmong group One N Only (ONO)?
I used to listen to them and still-kind of do.
They're not the greatest singers but I really like the lyrics :]

Oh wow, Didn't even know this forum existed =] Anyways, Hmong music? hmm, I mainly only listen to Christian Hmong singers. I used to listen to Paradise and Whyteshadow. I would recommend Jeff and Cicily =] Can't think of anyone else atm...

- 67 Generation
- KB Xiong
- 7th Day Rest

The person that sings "Slowly let go" is Jjen I think she also sings the song "qhiv koj lub qhov muag".

^yep..it's Jjen..she also sing "Save me a Place".....

'qhiv koj lub qhov muag' was a pretty good song.....

I love that song! It was the first song I heard from her :]

Proud to say that I too am Hmong! Love being Hmong... and here also... I love MUSIC! So Here is the shi-bang links on Hmoob Music in the US... I only wish we can find Hmong Singers outside of the US... like in FRANCE!!! ... (wishful thinking)

I hope this helps! PM if you want to know more of the music available or if you want to purchase CDs etc... you can always look up these names in Youtube too! EnJOY~!

Omg..i love Hmong songs..b/c i am..haha..
have u guys ever met any before..so easy..haha..Minnesota Tournament..haha

^i haven't..i live too far......(gay as/s south).....and the tournament down hea sucks....

yeah i used to like tsaaj mee *i think that's how you spell her name*
but after she got married and came to the states, i don't listen to her songs anymore
dawb thoj is a good singer too but i think she needs to gain some weight
i like vong yaj that guy and sing and he's really white LMAO

yeah..i live in the south too..but i went like last year..so it was alright

Wow! That's a lot of singers. They are very good. I listened to some and stopped about half way. I really like Tousue Vang's song though and reliance, a day forward, watching leona, and the rest they are good.

And I can't wait for the tourney again.

I agree, never knew this thread existed, but I just happen to see it today while looking for other threads!!...I listen to a few hmong songs, and I do know a few great hmong singers from my town, their voices just totally wows me!!...I hope that in the future, hmong singers will be heard even more!!..I think we're still at that level of evolving(not literally)into something bigger. I love hmong people, and proud to be one!!!

LOL~ It was hilari-oso when I told most of the bands up on my list that I put recommended them in a Korean Pop-culture forum... LOL~
-Oh yeah Tousue is a resident in Minneapolis and he is the head singer for his band: A day forward. There is his solo and band, so it's awesome to see both actually. You can see some of the vids i've recorded on Youtube!


About the artists... Yeah I know most of them... well all of them actually. A lot of them come to the Twin Cities to do some gigs and shows, esp. in St. Paul. You'll probably never heard of them because it's kinda hard to promote themselves in places that don't really like Hmong singers. So, there are many more out there that i'm more than willing to listen and support!

If any of you want to ever see a show that they do, go check out CHAT (center for hmong arts and talent) - most of you probably heard and see or attended at one of their events. But here is their website: www.aboutchat.org - or - check them about on myspace: www.myspace.com/aboutchat

I LIKE RARE!!
lol and other bands :]
im hmonng too ^^;;

I haven't heard of a large number, but I really really enjoyed:

Proto-J's "Tseev Neeg (Family)"
The Kong & Shu Project's "Tu Siab"
Theng Yang's "Please Baby Txoj Quaj"
Kaishek's "Nco Kuv Me Me (Miss Me a Little)"

and some others.

Anyone here knows the rapper/comedian Tou Ger Xiong? His song "go hmong boy". Well he came today to our school for our Asian Club meetings after school. It was fun. He told some jokes and rapped 3 songs. I remembered he came to my elementary school when I was little. At asian club they were also giving free shirts that said "GOT RICE" but too sad I didn't get one. But anyone know him?

woopwoop hmong music XD

i never really thought there be hmongs on this =]

good to know XD!!

wooT

Hey!! wow i never knew hmong had a music thread!!! lol well this is awesome!!! i'm hmong too!!! lol i'm white and green! lol i'm also a VANG!!! lol i also live in CANADA!!!! YEASH!!!! well this is great i'll really try to keep in touch and i'll tell me other hmong friends on soompi too!!! it's nice seeing hmong people from around the world!!

So I 'm looking for a Hmong song dedicated to parents. I don't really listen to much Hmong music so I don't even know where to start looking. I want the song to be in Hmong so does anyone have any recommendations about songs that thank parents or talk about parents' love and stuff like that? If so, please tell me and where I can find it.

Cool, you live in Canada. I live in Minnesota.
That's good that you listen to Hmong music. I found some music on imeem so I hope they were helpful.

This the biggest problem about Hmong music these days...everyone is singing in English. I know lots of people are only supporting because they are Hmong people who are actually doing something and coming out with stuff to listen to...but seriously...sing in HMONG. We don't really want to listen to you if you are going to sing in English...you are not distinctive when you sing in English. You can sing a line or two in English, but not the whole song.

If you don't know how to sing in Hmong...then you need to really learn how to speak Hmong again.

I'm probably really late to this, but i've had Winner's "Koj Ib Leeg" (ft. Marie Xiong) on repeat for a couple of weeks.
It reminds me so much of my late brother and my sister-in-law.
Beautiful song.* I love how we can hear their French Hmong accent. *lovely*

WoWzers...
I do have to admit I can be a bit fobby around my parents..,
Always listening to the hmong station...
Ha... I like Paradise and sone Whyte Shadow...
And even Luj Yaj...
Sheesh I sound fobby...

<3

Yeah! Finally a Hmong music forum.

Whenever my parents drive they only listen to the hmong radio.

Cosette You are right that a lot of people now do sing in English instead of Hmong.

There's a song that I really like rapped by Plucky, it's in English though.

Plucky song on youtube

ENJOY!
