his paper describes the musical practices of the Pwo Karen living in the village of Ban Hong, eighty miles southwest of Chiengmai in northern Thailand. Except where indicated, all the cultural information was received from James W. Hamilton1 who spent two years, (Oct. '59Oct. '61), in Ban Hong doing anthropological research. The Pwo Karen are a subdivision of the larger Karen group whose range is along the coastal areas of Burma and the northern Burma-Thailand border. The people of Ban Hong are basically animistic with a thin veneer of Buddhism. The Pwo Karen are agriculturalists. Rice is the main crop. Descent is matrilineal and they have matrilocal residence
