Thile, the one-time teenage wunderkind mandolinist and current driving force behind progressive pop-newgrass group Nickel Creek, is almost certainly the most virtuosic mandolinist in the entire modern American roots scene, earning comparisons to David Grisman and other similarly luminary pickers. Especially on Not All Who Wander Are Lost, Thile’s 2001 solo album made with the help of such respected musicians as Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas, listeners were captivated by the mesmeric and natural quality of the tracks.

On May 19, he told TIME, the band was scattered along the banks of a creek, at the bottom of deep gully inside the mountainous Xaysomboune Special Zone. The group numbered almost 200-roughly 30 families-and had been camped for two days. In the past six months, says Va Char, the group, together with some 2,000 others camped nearby, had relocated many times...
