MYANMAR-MUSIC-LIFESTYLE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY Myanmar-music-lifestyle, FEATURE by Kelly MACNAMARA
This picture taken on March 24, 2012 shows members of the Me N Ma Girls band performing during a concert at a hotel in Yangon. Myanmar pop is dominated by copies of international tunes, from the power ballads of Celine Dion to the soft rock strains of Rod Stewart, accompanied by sometimes incongruous Burmese lyrics about heartbreak and failed love. Only a few artists are able to struggle into the mainstream in Myanmar, where rampant piracy has suffocated the music industry and strict censorship controlled everything from lyrics to outfits. One act trying to forge its own sound is the Me N Ma Girls, a five member girl band who write their own songs in English and Burmese, including one urging Myanmar's diaspora around the world to return and help development.
