I lucked into a 25 cent cassette tape featuring the music from the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater from Hanoi, this specific tape from 1993. I dig it immensely. The only shortcoming is that it comes short; it's only about twenty minutes long, if that. The music isn't incredibly exotic if you've ever eaten in a Southeast Asian restaurant, but it crazy mad cool. The troupe is on YouTube complete with water puppets. You should definitely check it out.
I was of course going to post something intelligent about how I seek out any distraction possible to avoid taking up my grown-up life, but I just did, didn't I?
PS: Apparently that's Ha Noi. Never too late to learn!
