  Laos: Traditional performing arts: Lam/khap - Lao call-and-response folk songs
Lam pheun, one of the most popular varieties of the call-and-response genre lam/khap, involves the recitation of jataka tales, local legends and histories, while the regional lam siphandone features long slow passages of solo recitation believed to derive from a much earlier period.
Lam pa nyah in turn gave rise to the more theatrical lam glawn, traditionally given as a night-long performance at temple fairs, in which male and female singers perform passages of poetry interspersed with improvised repartee to the accompaniment of the khene.
The best-known genres are khap tai daeng (Red Tai) and khap tai dam (Black Tai) from the Tai ethnic minority of Samneau Province, lam meuy from the Tai Meuy ethnic minority of Borikhamxai Province and, from the Phu Tai ethnic minority, lam phu tai in Savannakhet Province and khap phu tai in Phongsali Province.

  Lam
Lam mu is visually similar to Central Thai likay, but the subject matter (mainly Jataka stories) derived from lam rueang (the subgenre of lam phuen) and the music from lam tang yao.
In Isan lam was traditionally performed seated, with a small audience surrounding the singer, but over the latter half of the 20th century the introduction of stages and amplification allowed a shift to standing performances in front of a larger audience.
Lam singing is characterised by the adaptation of the [vocal line to fit the tones of the words used.[17] It also features staccato articulation and rapid shifting between the limited number of notes in the scale being used, commonly delivering around four syllables per second.

Though the beats may not be the most inventive of Wobble's career, reverting at times to proto-dub and techno, they are heavily fortified through his dense mixing style.
The throbbing aqua-dub of "Lam Tang Way" is equally potent in both female and male vocal versions.
The techno patter of "Lam Bane Xoc" and "Lam Siphandone"'s muscular bass groove, on the other hand, are kept at a respectful distance from the Laotian vocalists for results that aren't nearly as captivating.

Subtract a couple minutes and add a few traditional dub studio knockout techniques (and spliced-in bagpipes) and Lam Saravane Dub revisits the first track, (as the similarly stripped-down, echoed-up Lam Tang Way Dub does with the second).
The short track is Lam Long (1:47), where a decidedly Asian songstress quavers over dancing khene chords without added beats or effects.
