ZOVOX Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Do expats in Thailand listen to Thai music? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, the wife insists on blasting it out at full volume every morning. to be fair, some of it ain't bad, but i don't know the names of the artists. The only one i know is Tata young, but her stuff is very western, so i'm not sure if it counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erasmus Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 My farang children like Endorphine and Bird. In my case, I like Tata Young. Not really a band, not really singing too much in Thai either but well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year Ad released "OTOP" as a solo album and there have been a few live albums plus a reworking of "Made in Thailand" over the last couple of years. There will be a new Carabao album out very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 My Thai favorite, Fon Tanasoontorn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a depressing collection of favourites, I like none of them, with the exception of Fon. But her latest valentine CD is a bit disappointing compared to earlier ones. Maybe the writers at Sure are giving their new singer Air the better songs? Fon's outstanding tracks are Jai Orn and Ab Rak Khow. She is greatly respected as a good role model and all round Jai dee. I love some of the duets she did with Monsit Khomsoi and and with the original cha cha cha girls. As well as Air another great newish singer is Tai Orantai, her latest CD will be a classic. Not only a good singer but with Grammy's writers behind her she cannot go wrong. My favourites change all the time but presently include: Jintara Poonlap Pumpuang Duangchan Sunaree Rachesima ( very nice to her fans) Deang Jitakorn Mike Piromporn (best male singer since surapol) Siriporn Ampaipong Banyen Raggen Job and Joy Tai Orantai -peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timonase Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 loso are quite cool unless you see them in singburi and are trapped in the annual bottle throwing contest by drunk teenager. I also like clash. but carabao are the masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it would be nice to hear why people think Loso, Carabao and all the other usual names are 'cool', just saying I like silly fools etc seems a bit pointless-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarragona Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Thailand does have some of the world's greatest music and one thing I love about Thais is that they can be fans of all of it without saying this is cool, this crap etc. etc. I love the local village festivals where you can go from a number on the khaen to 'look tung' to 'peua cheewit' to 'pop' to 'rock', one after the other. I like Carabao. Once upon a time Carabao really stood for something. And although that is mainly in the past, they are nice guys who will still give you the time of day. I learned a lot of Thai through their songs and other "peua cheewit" bands. If you listen to the long-established 'peua cheewit' bands, you'll find they incorporate a lot of Thai musical tradition into their songs and were nearly all inspired as kids by the great 'look tung' singers. Malihuanna had two very haunting vocalists and were extremely innovative musically. I have never heard another band like them, which is rather unusual in itself here, as clones tend to appear on the scene very quickly. None of the pub singers I've heard doing their songs get anywhere close. Still worth seeing even though the advertised concerts are no longer the full band. I've been to many 'look tung' / 'morlam' concerts and invariably had a good time. The wife's personal favourite is Chalermporn Malakham and I've seen Siriporn a few times. The khaen is my favourite Thai instrument and there are few musical experiences in the world that can better getting pissed to an Isaan village band who are themselves getting pissed up.
