"...[The] ultimate goal [of Laón-Laón] is to establish a regional networking of music research centers that will be able to provide immediate access to materials and information on Asian musical traditions for scholars, creators, performers, and educators in the entire region. This forum is about sustaining what our forefathers started in terms of sharing, and helping one another to discover a common musical heritage and enriching our lives and the lives of future generations of musicians and artists in Asia."
