The rose of Laos is no other than Alexandra Thidavanh Bounxouei (Bounxouay). She has restored the pride of the Laotian people in their music.

Before "Alexandra" became a household name, there was a growing concern in the country that the Lao language will become obsolete in the near future. The popularity of Thai music in Laos has such an effect that many people felt they were being "culturally invaded" by neighboring Thailand.

Alexandra has given hope to the Lao music industry. She is the country's first teen pop idol. At the age of 16, Alexandra took the country by storm with her concert in Vientiane.


The phenomenon of Alexandra is described by VOA, "Sixteen year-old Alexandra, or Thidavanh Bounxouei, is a new phenomenon in the entertainment scene in Laos".

Since then, Alexandra has brought Lao music industry to a whole new level with her style of Lao pop. She has not only captured the hearts and minds of the Laotians in Laos but also the Laotians in Europe and the U.S.A.

Along with producing a handful of VCDs and DVDs, Alexandra has been busy doing shows. She represented Laos at the J-ASEAN Pop Festival 2003 in Yokohama, Japan. Her recent performance as a representative of Laos at the Pattaya Music Festival (Thailand) in March,2004 drew thousands of faithful fans and stirred curiosity among the new audiences.

Alexandra has released her "Concert" and "Dream" DVDs under the label of Lao Art Media. Her latest CD is called "Luem Saa" which was released in January 2006. You can purchase that album through Alexandra Bounxouei's official website .
