Yinn Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Ok. Special song for NCC1701A เฒ่าหัวงู /tâo hŭa ngoo/Literal meaning: Old man snake headMetaphorical meaning: Old man who runs after young girls, dirty old man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyboy2018 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) I love this Khon pipe performance. The women in the shades is a well known medium. Loei, especially Dansat has many influential spiritualists and mediums. I love seeing old people and young people enjoying music tigether especially this local traditional Thai music. Morlam, Ska, Reggae, Gypsy, Balkan Trumpet and Yiddish music all belong to the people unlike the fake constructs of EDM, UDM Techno etc which are aimed at a narrow culturally dislocated audience. Many farang and expats are so ignorant of Thai music or actively hostile I despair. Edited September 1, 2019 by sunnyboy2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Went to the final of the Royal sponsored luktung contest yesterday, 5 guys and one girl singer. Winner was awarded ONE MILLION baht and Royal cup. The only professional singer invited was this one, from 1988 my favorite luktung song of hers, only heard Jin perform it once, from her 2nd album. Of course these days nobody writes letters, she would be using Line and a coney cartoon! Edited September 2, 2019 by Orton Rd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) As far as I know one million baht is the biggest award ever given for a luktung contest prize, even second got 500k, nice to see it getting Royal support.

Orton Rd Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) That contest is the first year, I did not see any of the heats just the final in Bangkok near Ari BTS station. There is not a big one like that for morlam, one singer was a morlam singer but they explained he could not sing that as it was just luktung. It was on the tv, MVT so is probably on you tube somewhere. Most singer had their own supporters in different coloured shirts, this was the winners group. When we left we managed to catch Pee Saderts last song at Victory monument concert. Edited September 3, 2019 by Orton Rd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Music for life, phua cheewit is often described as protest music, that was decades ago not any longer. This is music for change these days, they have subs in Japanese as well. Thai music is quite popular with Japanese who are some of the hardest core fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you describe this great music? Love the phin. My favourite instrument. can listen to it all night. Jimi Hendrix eat your heart out. This guy's the nuts. Here's an old guy who plays for a few setang round the markets in Pattaya, jammin' with a ferang. To me, Morlam and the phin screams Issan. I miss it so much. Off to Nong Khai for Wan Auk Pensa and the Banfai Pyana festival (Naga Fireballs) next month. A once in a lifetime experience (this will be my second time 555). The concert tells the story of the Banfai Pyana and is a spectacular festival of sound (traditional Morlam) dancing and light. Counting off the days to return to my spiritual home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
