Description:
The second joint Thai music release by EM/Soi 48/Paradise Bangkok! The best of Dao Bandung, the great star of Thai music! Women, alcohol, agriculture, and poverty...... Dao Bandong, who calls himself a countryman and has been singing about life in the northeastern region of Thailand with his indigenous music, "Riding the Buffalo", is now available for the first time in the world on this essential disc! His unique view of the Luk Tung world, cultivated in the harsh land of Issan, is concentrated in this one piece of agrarian (rich) world music! World music! Rare groove! Frontier! Songs! ....... Here are the roots of the great (Thai) popular music created by a man who rose from poverty! The best of Dao Bandung, a luk tung singer from Issan (Northeastern Thailand), who has been most wanted by world music fans and frontier rare groove DJs to be released! Thai music is now attracting the attention of collectors all over the world as dance music. Dao Bandung's music, characterized by its wild beats, killer breaks, and unique voice and verses, has an addictive charm that sticks to your ears once you hear it.But what was being sung in Issan in the 70's? Why was Dao Bandung a hit? The fascination of this song remained a mystery. In this book, we interviewed Mr. Dao Bandung directly and translated all the songs in a mixture of Issanese and Thai, bringing the startling truth to light! From a reggae-inspired gajja tune to a song about sex, from a love song that sounds like a blues song to ...... and more, the original scenery of idyllic Issan will be revealed, making you laugh and cry at the same time. In the 80's, Dr. Dao produced well-known world music singers such as Honey See Issan and Chintala Phunlap. This album contains the roots of the genre of luk tung, which is still immensely popular to this day. There is no Thai singing without listening to this! All the lyrics are in three languages (Thai, Japanese, and English), with commentary in Japanese and English. The commentary is in both Japanese and English, complete with annotations of Thai proper nouns! This is a spirited release that is sure to become a benchmark for future world music releases! Song selection and commentary by Soi 48 Normal jewel case / liner enclosed Both Japanese and English Includes lyrics, Japanese-English translation of poems, and rare photos
