Hmone Shwe Yee: Myanmar’s Song of Memories

Hmone Shwe Yee, a piece of traditional music in Myanmar, is the famous theme song of the film Golden Pollen. As it was a popular song in the 1970s, the people of Myanmar feel nostalgic about that time period when they listen to it. If you’re curious about the song, known for its cheerful timbre and unique instrumental techniques that capture one’s eyes and ears, scan this QR code. The song is available on the KF ASEAN Culture House’s YouTube channel.

The pattala consists of 24 bamboo keys and is played with two mallets. It is one of several instruments used in musicals and performances in Myanmar. At first glance, its form is similar to the Western marimba, but it is made of a slightly softer material.

The saung has a distinct, boat-shaped body and a long neck, connected with 13 to 16 silk strings. The tone it produces is rounder and softer than a Western harp. Pitch and volume are adjusted with the left hand, while notes are played with the right hand.
