This past weekend, March 19 and 20, Alexandra Bounxouei - Laos' most famous pop singer - was invited to participate in the Annual Pattaya Music Festival, her third overseas performance after her 2003 summer concert tour in the U.S and her participation in the J-ASEAN Pop Festival in Yokohama, Japan, in December.

In tribute to this talented Bulgarian-Laotian teen artist, we featured two songs from her latest DVD - "Say Fon(the Rain)," followed by "Haak Nee Dae Loka(This Love is for the World)," her version of "Treasure the World" the theme song of the J-ASEAN Pop Festival.

We wrapped up the program with Bryonny's version of "Treasure the World," which is sung in three languages - Thai, Japanese, and English. The 22-year-old singer, born to a Thai mother and an American father, represented Thailand in the J-ASEAN Pop Festival
