this week we've got a great tape from luk thung funk rock star suang santi! hailing from sukhothai, suang made his living as a boxer before joining with phiphat boribun & his band. after marrying bandmate namphueng boribun, he struck off on his own, first singing with siphrai chaiphra and finally mongkhon amatayakun's famous chularat band. suang pioneered a crossover style of luk thung and heavy funk rock which few others attempted, and won success not only with his own recordings but songs he penned for others, everyone from phanom nopphon to the royal sprites. sadly, suang was killed in a car accident in 1982 while on tour... this tape captures some of his last work, featuring a mix of straight funk tracks & few of his older hits redone in "talking music" style. enjoy!!

How do you like it? More, more more! Thank you Peter, thank you Owl-K-Doe (from NOLA, right?) and thank you Ghost Cap for pointing me back to good old Monrakplengthai.

gilhodges said...

Quick question Peter. I have now seen this gentleman's first name spelled Suang (here), Soreng (Zudrangma) and Sroeng (Finder's Keepers). Obviously you spell it Suang, but why the discrepancy? When I play his music on my radio show, I would assume you would advocate me spelling his name Suang on the playlist, yes?

peter said...

i think the confusion is due to the fact that you spell his name (in thai script) 's r w ng'.. the 'r' is silent and the word is written "suang" according to the royal thai system, and pronounced the same when spoken. more info here!

Thank you so much, this is incredible!!! You probably already know thehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRDKDf7s_Sg original but if not...

peter said...

thanks baby bear!
i actually hadn't heard the hoyt axton original before.. a version by brownsville station seems to have been the inspiration for the numerous thai interpretations (judging by its ubiquity in thailand's second-hand record market)

Just discovered this blog via a link on closet of curiosities and am very glad I did. Suang Santi is my favourite artist on the Thai Dai! compilation released by Finders Keepers a few years ago but it's very hard to find any of his other work. Is there any chance that you might be able to re-upload this cassette as I imagine that this album won't be pressed to vinyl any time soon. Great blog!
