Thxa Soe

Thxa Soe is a Burmese hip-hop group. They use traditional Burmese music and tie in some hip hop. Through using music they express how they feel and pour tons of emotions and feelings into their songs. Some of the songs were about unfairness towards the Burmese people from the government. They believed that having a voice and expressing how you feel is always the right thing to do. The authorities found some of their songs disrespectful and directly aimed at them. They banned Thxa Soe from playing their music, They refused to leave Burma because they wanted to stand up in what they believe in. Although the government stopped them from completing their music to the best, they still had a voice and stood up for what was right which I think is the more important then anything else. Aung Sang Suu Kyi was also in the same situation as Thxa Soe, she had a voice and all because she stood up for what she believed in she was sent to house arrest. Aung Sang Suu Kyi and Thxa Soe both had a voice and because of that they were punished. Do you think that fair?
