EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting moment of a Burmese harpist skillfully playing the traditional Burmese saung, also known as the saung-gauk or Burmese harp, in the streets of Myanmar during the 1910s. The saung, an arched harp, is considered a national musical instrument of Myanmar and is renowned for its unique sound and cultural significance. The harpist's expression of deep concentration and the gentle curves of the instrument create a harmonious blend of music and artistry. The saung's intricate design, with its gourd resonator and 18 strings, is a testament to the rich musical heritage of Asia. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when traditional music was an integral part of daily life in Myanmar.
