this week, "classic goes modern dance"! pleng thai prayuk is an umbrella term for the many attempts, occurring roughly from the 60's until the 80's, to update thai classical & folk melodies with western instruments and song styles. this movement gave birth to shadow prayuk along with any number of modernized versions of molam, lam tat, isaew, etc. this cassette features what i assume to be one of the earlier attempts at such fusion, probably immediately predating the shadow trend. pieces from the classical canon are re-figured into thai-style latin jazz & lounge music settings. unfortunately, i have very little info to share about the ensemble.. though it wouldn't surprise me to learn that either mr. phayong mukda or the suntharaphon collective were involved. enjoy!!

There are only a few places that have brought me into a whole new universe of music I was never previously aware of. This is one of them.

Haven't seen a lot of posts lately. And as this is unquestionably one of the greatest music blogs ever, I hope you're not losing interest.

thank you for the kind words!
yes, sorry the rate of posts has gone down lately, i have simply been too busy in my life outside the internet! but i hope to return to a much more regular posting, and don't worry... there are still many many tapes to go! thanks for sticking around
