19. ລາກ່ອນຈາກ La Gon Jark by Khana
The title translates to "Bidding Farewell Before We Part" but most Lao folks just call this "The Goodbye Song." Played at the end of an event to signal it's time to go, which - let's be real - we need sometimes because there's always that person who wants to keep the party going. The first time I heard this song was at the very inaugural Lao American Writers Summit in Minnesota in 2011, where everyone who had performed was called back onstage to help signal the ending number. It seemed like everybody else knew to wave goodbye and sing the lyrics except me. Not anymore, not anymore. Look at me now, I made a whole Lao music mixtape! #FawnLumGuhn
