5.0 out of 5 stars Except for the Leaf music, the rest are good to excellent, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

The music is really good -- I guess partly because I have a good audio system on my computer. My "Hmong ears" are not too well-equipped, but for the most part I can still discern the difference between what I call average and good songs and music, not from a purely Hmong or Western-oriented aesthetic stand point, but from a hybrid one:

All of the songs and music I sampled here are good to excellent, again, except the "leaf blowing". I have heard much more superior "leaf blowing" before. Will consult with my typical Hmong parents and see what they have to say :o)
