The Alu are also referred to by other ethnic groups as Luwu 鲁乌 or Luowu 倮乌.[1] There are also 500 to 600 Alu people in two villages of Ou Tay District, Phongsali Province, Laos.[2]

The Alu also have a mouth organ with five pipes that they play during the "Abei festival 阿卑节" ("maiden festival").[3]

Classification

Hsiu (2017)[4] suggests that Alu may be related to Lalo, but that this is uncertain due to the lack of data.
