--> Some observers have compared RAP with Thangyat, the first form of Burmese folk art.
Usually amusing and satirical, Thangyat combines

a traditional drum on festive occasions.
During the Burmese New Year water festival
young people would publicaly recite the humorous
Thangyat lyrics, which freely criticise every-
thing from politics to social behavior. <--
