 | | Granted political asylum in Norway in 1996, Mun Awng has helped breathe contemporary life into the old protest-song genre with Tempest of Blood. |
 | | This excellent reason for not pursuing a musical career in contemporary Myanmar was only underlined by the fate of Tempest of Blood’s celebrated lyricist, Min Ko Naing, who, until his unexpected release in late November, had been incarcerated for nearly 16 years. |
