The Hani people are part of the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burmese linguistic tree. The population exceeds a million and a half in the southern reaches of Yunnan province, nestled above Laos and Vietnam. In these lands, smaller Hani communities also find their home.
Much like other ethnic groups in this region, the Hani people have preserved their unique traditional singing patterns, with each singer deftly adapting their words to the context of their songs.
