Mo lam or Mor lam (Thai/Isan: ????? [m??? lam]) is a traditional Lao form of song in Laos and Isan. Mor lam means expert song, or expert singer, referring to the music or artist respectively. Other romanisations used include mo lam, maw lam, maw lum, moh lam and mhor lum. In Laos, the music is known simply as lam ; mor lam  refers to the singer.

The characteristic feature of lam singing is the use of a flexible melody which is tailored to the tones of the words in the text. Traditionally, the tune was developed by the singer as an interpretation of gon poems and accompanied primarily by the khene, a free reed mouth organ, but the modern form is most often composed and uses electrified instruments. Contemporary forms of the music are also characterised by quick tempi and rapid delivery, while tempi tend to be slower in traditional forms and in some Lao genres. Some consistent characteristics include strong rhythmic accompaniment, vocal leaps, and a conversational style of singing that can be compared to American rap.

Typically featuring a theme of unrequited love, mor lam also reflects the difficulties of life in rural Isan and Laos, leavened with wry humour. In its heartland, performances are an essential part of festivals and ceremonies, while the music has gained a profile outside its native regions thanks to the spread of migrant workers, for whom it remains an important cultural link with home.

Instrumentation

Many genres (including the khap of northern Laos and lam gon and lam phuen in Isan) are traditionally accompanied only by the khene, but ensembles have become more common. Most commercial artists now use at least some electric instruments, most often a keyboard set up to sound like a 1960s Farfisa-style organ; electric guitars are also common. Other western instruments are also becoming popular, such as the saxophone and the drum kit. Many of the traditional instruments associated with morlam are reflective of Laos and the Isan region and are not found outside these areas, despite the great similarity across Southeast Asia, and are also commonly found in classical genres and court music of the region.

Traditional instruments used in mor lam ensembles include:

• pi (, ???, IPA: pi), bamboo oboes of various kinds and sizes.
• vot (?, ????, IPA: vot), a circular panpipe.
• khuy (, ?????, IPA: k?uj), various types of double-reed and single-reed bamboo flutes.
• heun (, ???, IPA: h?n), a type of Jew's harp.
• chakhe (, ?????, IPA: t?a? k?e?), a type of zither.
• saw (, ??, IPA: s??), a class of bowed fiddle-like instruments.
• khim (, ???, IPA: k?im), a hammered dulcimer.
• phin (, ???, IPA: p?in), a three-stringed lute.
• hai song , ?????, IPA: haj s???), a taught string over an earthernware jar.
• gachappi , ?????????, IPA: ga? t?ap pi?), a two-stringed, four-coursed ancient lute.
• lanat , ?????, IPA: la nat), various kinds of xylophones, the most important being the pong lang , ??????, IPA: pong lang).
• sing , ????, IPA: si), cymbal-like instruments used to maintain tempo.
• sap (, ???, IPA: sa?p), another cymbal-like instrument attached with chords.
• gap , ????, IPA: gap), a wooden clapper.
• gong (, ????, IPA: g???), various types of hand drums.
• khong (, ????, IPA: k????), various types of gongs.

In more modern music, instruments such as accordions, electric guitars, keyboard set to sound like a 1960's Farfisa-style organ, saxophones and drum kits are often used as replacements or additions to the above-mentioned instruments.
