One of the best ever Thai bands, especially live.

Here's one of their classics in ENGLISH, quite strange.

Stuck in the US with this travel restrictions, cant wait to get back. Seeing them  will be in my bucket list.

 I see they have an event at Impact Arena Muang Thong in Bangkok in August 27. We are in Khon Kaen , so a long trip, but perhaps  me and the wife will make a weekend of it.

I saw them in Khon Kaen about 15 years ago in the old Tawang Daeng, opposite Big C. My friend's sister in law was the manager so we got to meet the band and got a VIP sofa, wonderful! 

Thai music you say? There can be only one.

Don't think I've ever heard that

Seen Carabao twice - once in Bangkok in about 1990 when I didn't even know who they were...I soon learned - love 'em.

Saw them again when they played a FREE concert in Jomtiem in 2013 - couldn't believe my luck with that one.

 

Meanwhile, I haven't read all this thread so if this has been posted before, my apologies, but I saw this band at the Pattaya Music Festival in (I think) 2016

I grew up listening to artists like Prince Buster, Byron Lee etc  - saw (among others) The Specials with Desmond Dekker in London and these "Rude Boys" are up there with the masters.

This my dad favorite one. (And me) 

And the English below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bua Loy, my good friend
You left too soon it’s true
Where are you, Bua Loy?
You know, sometimes I think of you . . . of BUA LOOOOYYYYYYY!

Bua Loy, this guy I know
He always limps, he’s got crossed eyes
He’s not that much to see
but his mind is high, like the Lotus Leaf
A friend when you need a friend
A cook when you need to eat
A doctor if you scream in pain
He’ll get you back on your feet

Bua Loy’s been handicapped
And so of course he escapes the draft
But still he volunteers
The man is brave and he endures
He works hard all the time
A humble, normal guy
Helps out every friend
He’s there through thick and thin

Bua Loy, my good friend
You left too soon it’s true
Where are you, Bua Loy?
You know, sometimes I think of you . . . of BUA LOOOOYYYYYYY!

One day the guns resound
Bua Loy is lying on the ground
Mumbles “Are y’all OK?”
The very last words Bua Loy will say
From that day ’til this day
In a farmhouse on a hill
Bua Loy is absent still
It’s listless there and grey

Spoken:

This world is all messed up
‘Cause some care just about their own needs
How many people in this world
Rise as high as this lotus leaf?

Sung:

This world is all messed up
‘Cause some care just about own needs
How many people in this world
Rise as high and become free . . . . as Bua Loy!!!!!

 

 

 

Same song above.

It is a rap song. Glad you like it. 

Is very popular song. Many like to sing it.

The word make me think about our life. 

 

 

 

Maybe you like this way more. 

Piano, violin..

 

 

English way

 

20 yrs ago, on my very first real date, sitting in a hut on a small lake, my date (later became my wife) played this song  "The look in your eyes".

Still bring back great memories.

 

 

10+ yrs ago, this song was played in every 7Eleven and Familymart, for years. Pim and Za-Za was very popular for many years, hit after hit.
