2007 Burmese traditional Thangyat released

India based Burmese pro-democracy activists on March 18 held the inaugural ceremony of the Burmese traditional Thangyat, which is written and sung during the famous Burmese Thingyan (Water Festival). Burmese activists in an attempt to cling to their culture and tradition produce Thangyat annually. To trace the difficulties they faced and the myriad activities involved in producing the 9th Thangyat, Mizzima interviewed Kyauk-Me Kyaw Gyi and Myat Htet, who composed, and produced this year's Thangyat.
