this week, southern-style luk thung from sarika kingthong! sarika grew up in chumphon, the daughter of famed nang talung puppet master chuliam kingthong. she was one of luk thung's first transgender stars, presenting a masculine image in both her physical appearance and through her lyrics, although her name and singing voice were female. according to wikipedia, at least part of her popularity involved debate over the singer's gender. sarika is memorable as well for the tribute she pays to her regional heritage, utilizing the paired-gong rhythms of the shadow theatre and plenty of southern dialect. really excellent.. enjoy!

You told me about her, great voice.
very fine... thanx a lot!
Thanks Peter!
I taped this song long long ago in Thailand and wondered if the first song was about a girl named Linda. But, so i thought, perhaps Rinda is a normal thai word meaning ...?
I didn't know that the singer was a girl. That makes this K7 even more special to listenm to. Thank you again!
hi LolaRadio, thanks for the remembrances! in fact, it is a name, as you suspected (the song title is "rinda, my love") i think the name 'rinda' in thailand indicates a muslim heritage, maybe persian?
cool, thanks!!!
Thanks, Peter, I enjoyed this album a lot.
Peter, could you please suggest me a blog with chinese pop music from the 70-90s? I just can't find any of them...
hi Anonymous!
hm, your best bet might actually be with the indonesia-based blogger madrotter. check here for a listing of posts tagged 'chinese' on his site. it seems to contain a lot of the sort of material you might be looking for, though maybe more of a 60s-70s. for stuff from the 80s and 90s, i usually just visit youtube! :)
hope that helps!
oh! i forgot to mention: be sure to check under the tags for 'hong kong', 'singapore', etc. too!
This is awesome (like everything that you post)! thank you a lot!!
