Tsa Txhiaj Meej = Raising the Door Spirit. Performed by Vam Xeeb Xyooj. Videographer Mitch Lee.
This orally recited funeral song is performed to raise the door spirit to serve as a guard during the traditional Hmong funeral ceremony. The song is intended as a reminder to the deceased’s family that 13 days after the burial they should go seek a local shaman to perform a ceremony to protect the family from any outside evil spirits.
This orally recited Hmong funeral song is performed as part of the traditional Hmong Funeral Ceremony and taught as part of the Funeral Song class curriculum at Hmong Cultural Center in Saint Paul, MN.
This project has been supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Folk Arts grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, this activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
