This is a clip about Burma from YouTube. It's a bit outdated. But it gave you an insight about the past.

I was in seventh grade when Burmese people took to the streets to demonstrate against then government in 1988. I fortunately lost only one year of middle school because the government shut down all schools in the country only for one year. However, when primary through high schools were reopened in 1989, universities were not. Many university students never graduated (because they left for the Thai-Burma and Burma-India borders to fight against the government or left Burma to work abroad). Many graduated long after they started college when the military government reopened the universities a few years later. 

I was bored one weekend. I recorded Rod Stewart's "I don't want to talk about it" with Ko Nyi Pu Lay. It's just for fun. I didn't have any good recording equipment. I just used my cheap microphone and edited it with Audacity software. Here it is.
