I listen *a lot* to Thai music. Love it a lot. One of my favourites is (as mentioned earlier in this topic) Tai Oratai. I love her "ninja" song:

 

 

 

 

Loved the Tai ninja song,  had not heard it before, It will be part of my car listening music.

Who is the singer in the above video? She has great range and would love to hear more of her. She reminds me of a young Siriporn Ampaipong ,

I like Luk Thung music, IMO  it is the only authentic Thai  (Lao ) music playing now day. Mind you I am no expert in Thai music and could stand correcting. But IMO a lot of the other Thai music is simply music with Thai lyrics, Take out the Thai words, replace them with words from any country and it would be music from that country.

Not that it is not enjoyable but not real Thai to me.

Luk Thung smells Thailand to me.

According to Google Translate her name is Wiang Narumon (เวียง นฤมล). Tai Oratai actually also has a few songs in this style.

So this is funny. The only return on YouTube using  "Wiang Natumon" is the one below , which is a litle girl and an adult feeding a water buffalo.

but if one clicks on it , some of the suggestions on the side are of (เวียง นฤมล) . 

But if I use the Thai script (เวียง นฤมล) on the search  I get the singer. 

Anyway thank you for the effort.

Mods, would request that this wonderful thread be pinned as with the other music threads.  Often there are members who would like to post Thai music and it's not quite a fit in the "If You're Listening . . . " thread.  Nice to see a dedicated thread on Thai music that's obviously being enjoyed by a wide audience here.

 

Thanks and cheers,

There are a few post-rock Thai bands who could easily compete with any western post rock bands.  Desktop Error is one of those Thai bands.  Here's Just A Little (อย่างน้อย) off of their 2009 Ticket To Home CD.

And yet another great Thai post-rock band, Inspirative.  These guys songs usually start out very mellow in the beginning and build to an amazing crescendo of sound midway through.  This number is Time Tunnel (อุโมงค์เวลา) from their 2015 Mysteriously Awake CD.

sirineou If you look at the beginnings of luktung most of the early singers and writers were not from Issan (lao) or any area other than central Thai with it's roots being in central folk traditions. There are some academics like Dr Mitchell who argue that Issan was embryonic in the development of luktung I cannot see it just by pointing out one or two early writers and performers from there. Certainly it developed a great influence later with luktung Issan style, but compare that with 1960's luktung and the difference is stark and today luktung is barely recognizable from it's beginnings. Luktung is certainly Thai but I think it's origins are not in Issan.

I think this one most popular song from last year. If you stay in Thailand since last year you hear it sure.

 

i think wonderful song because mix the Thai rock and morlam together. Not morlam song really but the woman singer is the morlam singer. Preow Praw (spelling?)

The guy singer is Petch Saharat. 

Is a little bit cheeky song. Clip is funny.

Widely thought of as the greatest female luktung singer her style of electric luktung revolutionized the sound and became very popular, heard on the radio everyday still. Grew up in Supanburi which has a long history of producing some of finest singers. Pumpuang concert from 1989, she had three years left to live. No smart phones or tablets waving about in the crowd, not even cameras, the good old days!
