The loud Red Dao horn used for weddings - Puôm dặn | Recording Earth

We’re introduced to a man standing in the doorway of his house, he is a musician in a Red Dao village in the Tả Phìn area of Sa Pa, North Vietnam. He welcomes us in and after tea, he reaches for a horn-like instrument, “ah” remarks Olly with some recognition, “Shall we take it outside?” as if in response the man gives it a short blast and I resist the temptation to cover my ears, it is very loud indeed.
