some great northern songs this week, brought to us by the fantastic duo of banyen kaewsiangthong & phensi phongsi! we have heard from phensi here before.. she and banyen are probably the two biggest names in chiang mai-style thai country song. they sing to a standard early 90's sax & synth-driven molam luk thung with influences from local lanna culture; melodic sensibilities and lyrics evocative of the region, sprinkled with words from the local kham mueang language. very nice and rather unique sound, hope you enjoy!!

I cannot articulate why in the world I like this, but, tonight, I do :-)

Thanks for another nice one Peter. I smiled a bit at your comment that this is "rather unique"! I'm not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between this and a 100 other luk thung records. But that is just as well because I like it ALL!!
