	Laos: Central Lao Opera (Lam Luang) Troupe
		The roots of lam luang are believed to have developed hundreds of years ago when a type of melodic storytelling used by monks for preaching was developed in its own right as a source of entertainment.
		One of its earliest incarnations was lam phun, in which a male singer or moh lam (literally 'performer of lam'), accompanied by the Lao mouth organ known as the khene, recounted jataka (stories of the lives of the Buddha) or local legends and histories.
		Lam luang is believed to be a theatrical derivative of lam phun developed in the early 20th century contemporaneously with cải lương in Việt Nam, yike in Cambodia and likay in Siam, probably under the influence of bangsawan from the Malay Peninsula which toured the region frequently during this period.
