this week something quite different.. kantruem rock from isaan! kantruem (กันตรึม) is the music of the khmer people in the southern edge of thailand's northeast, on the border with cambodia. much like contemporary molam, modern kantruem is characterized by elements of the minority's folksong superimposed upon local thai pop song structure. rock khong khoy from surin were one of the first hit bands of the genre, and i believe still perform, albeit with a rotating roster.. i'm not sure whether this was their debut, but i know it features their original line-up, some of whom have since died. the sound is very rough, synth-violin over drum machine, with rhythmic vocals sung in khmer surin dialect. enjoy!

Thanks. Brilliant album. I was finally able to identify it with the help of your post
yeah, isn't it great? did you get it very long ago? i was pleased to hear it still getting play on thai radio.. even in bangkok!
Do you still have a download for this album? I listen to the track Sieow Woi since many years ago, because a friend recorded it from a vinyl collection. But I never found any more tracks on the Internet...
Cheers from Brazil~
