i've posted this tape before (post no. 6, to be precise!), but it's so good, and i've learned so much since about the history behind it, that i feel it warrants a re-posting. chatri, from chonburi, got his start in samniang muangthong's ruam daokrachai band, but left to help suraphon's wife sinuan rehabilitate the sombatcharoen band (primarily as a songwriter) after the star's death in 1968. within a year he had founded his own band & cut his first records. in 1970, he was contracted by isaan songwriter surin phaksiri for a new sort of project... if i have my story right, her majesty queen sirikit had recently attended a screening of a hindi film in bangkok, and her glowing review seemed ready to start a bollywood craze in the kingdom. as was standard for film imports, the hindi dialogues would be dubbed into thai, but considering the musical nature of indian films the decision was made to dub the songs as well, and local luk thung stars were hired to do the job. big names like phraiwan lukphet, riam daranoi, buppha saichon & others all tried their hands at singing playback. the filmi selections on this album are dubs from c.v. sridhar's "dharti", composed by the shankar-jaikishan team, and feature chatri on the male parts (originally mohd. rafi) and yuphin phraethong doing the female (originally lata mangeshkar & asha bhosle). tacked on are some of chatri's great luk thung singles from the same period.. enjoy!

Thanks Peter! I missed this the first time around. I love old Bollywood music and I love luk thung, so I was pretty excited to hear about this. It's really awesome. I was surprised at how natural the Thai singing sounds with the original Bollywood dubs.
Awesome! Also missed the first post, so thank you a lot for reposting!
i love this tape since i heard it two years ago.
thank you so much for your blog.
so glad you guys like it, chatri is one of my favorites! and dave, yeah, i actually prefer the thai recordings to the indian originals here (and i don't always!)
I'm really enjoying this, Peter, thank you!
Oh my. I can't believe how well it works together. Thanks for expanding my mind (again).
Peter, I just came across your blog today and am totally ECSTATIC about the gems you have posted here! Keep up the good work, I have a bit of reading and listening to do before I can catch up with your older posts but so far everything is really magical! Thanks!
This is now my all time favorite song sung in the Thai language!
it's strange. mediafire defines archive as "Yeh Mausam Bheega" by Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd. Rafi, Asha Bhosle and write that Permission Denied.
how stupid!
thanks so much for letting me know, Cao Sao Vang
new link is up there now!
Much thanks Peter! By the way, such problem is in some other posts...
Thanks for your blog and music :)
Hello. I was able to download and hear this when you originally posted it, however due to a data drive loss i no longer have it. Would it be possible to download again?
Thanks so much for your efforts
