Musician Perfectly Recreates the Sound of a Car Alarm on a Traditional Lao Bamboo Mouth Organ

Musician Pat Fernandez of Pat’s Soundhouse performed an incredible recreation of a car alarm on a traditional Khaen mouth organ, which he then transformed into a catchy and danceable song. This instrument, which originates from Laos, is crafted from bamboo reeds that connect to a wooden reservoir containing a free reed that produces music.
