2010 Lao Music Awards


Finally after a one year hiatus, the award ceremony honoring Lao music is making its come back! The Lao Music Awards was first introduced to us in early 2008 and it was a night that changed the history of Lao music. Lao artists from many different record companies gathered together as one as they attended the very first music award ceremony held at the Lao Cultural Hall.


2010 has been a very busy year for the Lao music industry with so many new songs and artists popping up. This is a good sign due to the fact that the 2008 awards faced criticism for having the same artists in every category. With more music there will be more varieties in each category and a better competition. 


Sengdara Communications has also released the promotional poster for the awards. I was very impressed with the overall look. It's much better designed than the 2008 version. The poster is designed with a gold theme accompanied with monuments that symbolizes Laos, the Patuxai and Pha That Luang. In the middle of the poster is a gold trophy shaped with a Champa flower at the top. There is also a red carpet leading towards the trophy. 


The event is due to make its premiere on February 2011

  1. what about Temple Guys, Tee oudalai,Tuxedo,& Sithiphone?

    These are excellent artists too, besides Cells being my favorite Lao rock band.

    Ting Phailavanh for most popular artist? She can't even sing, she sounds like a mouse!& all of her songs sounded so cheap and so babyish!:(

    Lao USA,
