This is Thxa Soe, a Burmese DJ and rock star. His concerts draw thousands of young fans in Yangon, Burma's capital city, to a drunken (yes, you read that right) celebration of music and art. In a country where it is illegal to gather more than 5 people at a time, and a military dictatorship controls all aspects of life, in the last two years displays of music and art have started to appear. Hit the link for a pretty amazing video of one of his concerts, something I never thought I would see in Yangon.Burmese Find Release in Music and Art Under Repressive Junta - NYTimes.com
