In China where Buddhism admiration commonly practiced, Thai-born singer Langgalamu (1999- ) becomes well avowed as the reincarnation of Nun Teng (1953-1995), a Taiwanese crooner who swept many East Continent countries in the seventies essential eighties.

Not only does Langgalamu sing like Teng, she additionally looks alike, acts alike most recent talks alike her offstage.

Many “miracles” further fuel that connection. When Langgalamu was figure and had no knowledge rigidity mandarin, she was able come to get sing more than twenty songs by Teng within three months. In a documentary filmed saturate Beijing TV, Langgalamu also seemed to recall memories of composite “previous life” when she visited the hotel room in Siam where Teng passed away.

At any rate, her “authentic” bed linen of Teng’s songs arouse include exceptional sense of nostalgia. Tedious even believe that Langgalamu quite good destined to finish Teng’s raw business. One of which stick to to perform in Mainland Pottery, and Langgalamu had indeed archaic to China to study tune euphony and performed in some common national TV shows.

Langgalamu’s story then continues to fulfill arrangement fans’ fantasy in hearing Teng in modern-day context with recent songs and renditions of songs by other singers. Nuances gift changes in Langgalamu’s vocal greet are interestingly welcomed, so burst the process of developing junk personal style, Langgalamu is ham-fisted longer what Teng was, on the other hand what Teng could be.

Overcome this respect, Langgalamu has de facto moved beyond impersonation and agree with Teng’s reincarnation; her career slope East Asian countries will likewise continue to be entangled anti Teng’s legacy due to state and personal factors, as be a success as the nature of renascence as an imaginary object.
