Thai Music we love

[wolf81]

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:

 

 

And also this one ...

 

 

This song from "Night Tingle" (?) is lovely as well ...

 

 

This song about drinking (?) 

 

 

And a few others ...

My favourite one off of this CD.  Lom Bhad Prao.  This, to me, has a sound reminiscent of a banjo.  Absolutely love it.

Is called the “pin”. I agree, can listen to pin all day, don’t want it to stop. Give you energy!

 

Often the blind people play it. You see at temple festival, on the street, at the market. 

Like this one.....

 

 

 

Here is the close look if you interested how to play...

I made a mix of vintage Molam and Luk Thung...

 

 

So good!

From about 2513/1970 right?

Great thread for thai music fans !

 

Best song I ever heard in my whole life - making me cry every time I listen to it (probably because it reminds me of my own parent's school in the Alps)

 

 

in a completely different style I could not live without Labanoon songs - these southern guys would be huge stars if they were born in USA

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.

although this is not a moving rock song it has a catchy tune and funny clever lyrics.  name is "watermelon" and eludes to the gals boobs.  ending scene is very funny.  very popular among thai's currently

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,

One of my favourite funny Thai songs - อ๊อดแอด Odd add

 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

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.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Goose is another very excellent Thai post-rock band.  This is Good Things (สิ่งดีดี) from their 2004 self-titled CD.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

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.

Thanks for that, frederico.  Here's Rasmee is in a great melodic acoustic number.  Love her voice and style.  Most definitely has a lot of soul.

Tang, the famous funny tv guy, actor is the singer that song.

 

He always on TV with Nong and Tukki. They also in thisclip. The song about eating liver (dtap, dtap, dtap) 

They also work with famous comedy guy Mum Jokmok.

 

This his famous song. Gin Dtap

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.

[Yinn]

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.

 

 

[Orton Rd]

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!
