Thai Music we love

One of the greatest ever Thai singers imo, Yew Pempeyom, mostly covered other peoples work but never the less had an amazing voice. Her Chinese language skills were almost perfect I am told. Lucky to see her a few times and go to her house even though she retired from full time singing over 20 years ago.

Happy year of the Rat!

 Nobody could sing Teresa Teng songs like her, such a beautiful woman

Takkedan Choladar, one of Grammy's biggest stars although left now. Great singer and entertainer and very generous person, she did some great parties! From her 2nd album from 2007, the top seller for 6 months.

The genius of morlam. or so he was described in music historian Jenpops book of Thai singer biographies, the only one he praised like that. Chalerpol Malakham also has written for many others, very big morlam star

 

Love his song 'Meuan deuan lap fa' เหมือนเดือนลับฟ้า from his early days. Remember dancing to it back in 1987/8. Unfortunately the only version on Youtube is distorted too much to listen to.

I am sorry, I listen to every song posted for the last three pages, trying to find a song that I like to add to the list of Thai songs I listen to. None of them lasted longer that a few seconds. As someone who plays a little and knows something about music,

All style and no substance

Basic rhythm with some major and minor pentatonic scale lead mix.  

All uninspired to say the list, dependant on glitz. eucandy and sexuality. 

Sorry I don't mean any disrespect to anyone who likes this type of music, There is no such thing as bad music, If you like it it is good. 

I am afraid I an dating myself with this one

and I don't particularly like all of Siriporn's music  but I like the folowing . I hate the video, I rather watch Siriporn,  I think the video  is sad. but IMO the music is inspired with musical verses building on each other.  .I never get tired of listening it.

Siripon has a unique voice. Udon has produced a few great singers imo- Ponsak Songsaen and Mike Pirompon (his family home is only 3 km from ours, his brother tends his fields and pond).

I know what you're saying sirineou. I've given up listening to Thai music on the radio, the morlam I like is all from the 80s and 90s. Occasionally there are some interesting country singers and songs, and now and again there is something good in the rock and pop worlds. I should delve deeper because there are many artists experimenting with mixtues of style, morlam and jazz for instance.

Here's an evocative song, imo.

Thank you for sharing ,

Ponsak is one of my wife's favorite also, The first song Kai Ja kao jai  has now made it into my listening list on Spotify.

The first song is by Pongsit Khampee, a 'music for life' singer/songwriter. Here's another of his.

What about a Thai movie thread ? I love Thai romantic comedies, ATM er rak error, The teachers diary, Bangkok traffic love story.

I think about do movie thread before. 

But difficult find the movie with English sub. (Music still can enjoy if not understand, movie can not).

 

But ok, i will research and start new thread. Next week. If not popular maybe just me and you. 555555

 

IMO thai music is good same USA music.

But not popular because it not English.

Same problem with Thai movie (But USA more skillful make movie, sure)

Morlam that moves

Jintara. What a voic

 

Try fm 90 in the evening it is usually all morlam, even though it says 100% luktung! Thai rak Thai station is the best and the owner is the brother of the man who ran Veteethai concerts. Fm 95 is good at the weekends as they play old luktung, but that is run by government Mcot so not exactly independent. JIntara, I think I heard about her ???? not seen that mv before though.

The movie thread will be interesting, if you can find the movies with the subtitles it will be really helpful for those who try to learn Thai.
