The Popular Music Industry in Yangon, Burma A REVEALING THE HEART: THE POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY IN YANGON, BURMA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Heather Mary MacLachlan August 2009 © 2009 Heather Mary MacLachlan REVEALING THE HEART: THE POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY IN YANGON, BURMA Heather Mary MacLachlan, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation is an ethnography of the Burmese popular music scene, which is centered in Yangon, Burma. The author attended concerts, rehearsals, recording sessions and music classes to develop the data discussed in the dissertation. She conducted seventy-seven individual interviews with members of the industry, including singers, instrument players, composers, studio owners, producers, managers, radio station employees and censors. In Chapter 1, she describes a typical recording session and then explains how the people there typify the larger Burmese pop music scene in terms of their gender, religion, career path, and their relationships to their fans, each other, and their government. She argues that musicians‟ frequent contributions to humanitarian causes are relevant to the ongoing debate about the development of civil society in Burma today. In Chapter 2, she describes a typical live show. She analyzes the kind of music that Burmese pop musicians create and describes their theories about music, showing that, for them, preserving the Anglo-American pop tradition is usually more important than creating innovative musical works. In Chapter 3, she explains the Burmese approach to learning and rehearsing music, showing that musicians‟ beliefs about talent mediate their rehearsal practices. Chapter 4 explains that, in Burma, musical recordings are distributed both via legal channels and by pirates, who pose – according to industry members – a tremendous threat to the industry. The author outlines the music distribution network using sociologist Richard A. Peterson‟s production perspective as a framework for the analysis. She argues that one of Peterson‟s most important contributions to the scholarship on cultural industries should be re-examined in light of the Burmese case. Chapter 5 offers a detailed look at the relationship between Burmese pop musicians and the government censors. The author shows that musicians use a variety of strategies to assert agency in the midst of the constraints imposed by the censorship system. She argues that scholar James Scott‟s ideas about power relationships, developed in studies of rural farmers, apply also to famous and influential musicians in Burma. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Heather MacLachlan was born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1972. She earned a B.Mus/B.Ed degree from the University of Manitoba in 1993.

At the end of a long campaign to conquer and unify much of what we now know as Burma, he decided to found his new capital. He renamed the location Yan-gon, meaning “the end of strife.” Standing in modern-day Yangon (also known as Rangoon), it is easy to imagine what Alaungpaya must have seen. Undoubtedly he raised his eyes to the glorious sight of the Shwedagon Pagoda, where devout Buddhists have venerated a shrine containing eight hairs from the head of Gautama Buddha for more than a millennium. He must have seen small family homes made of bamboo, and women carrying their produce to market in baskets balanced on their heads. He would have given alms to saffron-robed monks who wandered the streets at dawn, begging bowls in hand. Figure 1.1: Workers' house next to a mansion they are building, Dhamma Zedi Lan, Yangon It is easy to picture the scene as it looked two hundred and fifty years ago because, in each of these ways, Yangon has not changed. Nowadays the bamboo huts are interspersed with concrete and steel; there seems to be a new construction project 1 on every major thoroughfare. Cars race past the open-air markets, and monks wear eyeglasses and ride public buses. But glimpses of the older Yangon are everywhere in the contemporary city. We can still see what Alaungpaya saw, and we can still hear what he heard. The musical tradition that developed and flourished in the courts of kings like Alaungpaya, known as the Maha Gita, continues to be a vibrant and important part of Burmese life in the twenty-first century. The Maha Gita is a body of song texts which were written down some centuries ago. The melodies that accompany these texts have been passed down orally. The songs are accompanied by a variety of distinctively Burmese musical instruments, like the saung gauk (harp) and the pattala (xylophone). The king‟s mighty instrumental ensemble, known as the hsaing waing, includes pitched drums and gongs and an aerophone with a particularly piercing sound, the hnay. (For more on this music, see Becker 1969, Garfias 1975 and 1985, Keeler 1998, Williamson 2000). Now, as then, singers and instrumentalists trained in the Maha Gita perform for Buddhist rituals and at weddings, and play an important part in public Figure 1.2: Hsaing waing performing at a wedding in Yangon, January 2009 2 festivals. They appear frequently in government-sponsored television shows, and young people study the tunes and techniques at university (see Douglas 2001 and 2003 for how this tradition is evolving today). From our historical vantage point, we can also hear Burmese musical sounds that Alaungpaya could not have ever imagined. His dynasty ended, slowly and painfully, as the British colonized Burma in waves of invasion during the nineteenth century. English cultural products, including musical instruments, came to Burma with the colonists, and the resourceful Burmese adopted them for their own use. Through the twentieth century, Burmese musicians developed uniquely Burmese ways of playing the piano and the violin. In addition, they combined their own melodies and singing style with Western instruments (like the slide guitar, and later, electronic keyboards and guitars) to create a new fusion music.

    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

Calico, Ph.D. Copyright © 2018 by Edward Clark Dawson All Rights Reserved ii For Abby, who has loved “the old boom bap” from birth, and whose favorite song is discussed on pages 109-121, and For Margaret, who will surely express a similar appreciation once she learns to speak. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would not have been possible without an Ernst Mach Fellowship from the Austrian Exchange Service (OeAD), which allowed me to spend the 2015-16 year conducting research in Vienna. I would like to thank Annagret Pelz for her support, as well as all the participants in the 2015-2016 Franz Werfel Seminar, whose feedback and suggestions were invaluable, especially Caroline Kita and organizers Michael Rohrwasser and Constanze Fliedl. During my time in Vienna, I had the opportunity to learn about Austrian rap from a number of artists and practitioners, and would like to thank Flip and Huckey of Texta, Millionen Keys, and DJ Taekwondo. A special thank you to Tibor Valyi-Nagy for attending shows with me and drawing my attention to connections I otherwise would have missed.
