dueanphen amnuaiphon: to lom chom thung

this week's post comes courtesy of mr. peter, who numbers among the most prolific concert-goers in thailand (probably #1, among foreigners). he & his wife make it to over 100 luk thung shows a year, and as you might imagine, know quite a bit about the music.


artist: เดือนเพ็ญ อำนวยพร (dueanphen amnuaiphon)
album: โต้ลมชมทุ่ง (to lom chom thung)
01. ไม่อยากจะหวัง (mai yak ja wang)
02. โต้ลมชมทุ่ง (to lom chom thung)
03. เขาคงลืมเราแล้ว (khao khong luem rao laeo)
04. สาวชาวนา (sao chao na)
05. ตั้งอยู่บนความจริง (tang yu bon khwam ching)
06. ลำล่อง ฟ้าสั่งน้อง (lam long fa sang nong)
07. ไม่เคยเกลียดเธอ (mai khoei kliat thoe)

10. เลยวันสัญญา (loei wan sanya)
11. ทีใครทีมัน (thi khrai thi man)
12. ลำล่อง อกสาวเดือนเพ็ญ (lam long ok sao dueanphen)

our star today is dueanphen amnuaiphon, and despite her currently touring live act (and despite the fact that i've shared a song of her's here before!) i actually know less than i should about her.  what i can tell you for sure is that she is a prime practitioner of the thongchan sound!  along with sathit thongchan, a. pochana & others, she's a representative of achan khamkoeng thongchan's "thongchan promotions" collective based out of roi et in the 80's & 90's.  the thongchan sound is uptempo & danceable molam marked by fairly dense, electronic tracks highlighting the sax & keyboards... just try to not have a good time listening to this one.  thanks, mr. peter!!
