this week, another classic recording of national artist khwanchit siprachan and her troupe preforming phleng isaeo! isaeo, characterized by its swift rhythm and intense wordplay, is a local specialty of central thailand's suphan buri province. the contestants take lighthearted jabs at each other and vie for the most cunning lyrical improvisations over an insistent backbeat. today's cassette includes a long (and quite "politically incorrect") routine detailing khwanchit's experiences with husbands of different ethnicities. i believe she is joined here as usual by her sister khwanchai and their colleagues suchin siprachan and bunchok chanachot. these 4 have trained together since their teens, and their repartee is outstanding.. enjoy!

with the buddhist holiday of makha bucha coming up tomorrow, it seems like a great time to share some religious tunes.. and who better to sing them than ms. khwanchit siprachan? famous for her mastery in a range of central thai folk styles, this tape finds khwanchit pairing up with the late, brilliant phon phirom as songwriter to bring us a series of multi-part lae on the topic of the five precepts (no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying and no liquor!) as well as a few exhortations to merit-making and a pair of parade songs to round things out. a few other singers make appearances on here, but i couldn't find any clues to their identities.. if you know, tell us! otherwise just enjoy!

this week, by special request, we'll hear from luk thung folk star khwanchit siprachan! khwanchit was born & raised in central thailand's suphan buri province. from a young age she took an interest in local folk song, but her father forbid her to pursue it, fearing the corrupting influence of the stage (as well as the prospect of losing a domestic hand!). nevertheless, she eventually left home to study with the great pleng isaeo songmasters of suphan, becoming a respected artist in the folk song community for her powerful voice & clever improvisations. she was an audience favorite upcountry, and in time even became a regular on the stage of sanam luang in bangkok. here she was courted by many luk thung groups, but found waiphot phetsuphan's to be most consonant with her love of folksong. she joined the group and quickly set to recording the string of hits collected here. by the early 70's, however, she had left luk thung behind. she returned to the folk songs she loved so much, as both performer and preservationist, and eventually was named a national artist for her contributions to the artform. hope you enjoy!

a little while ago, we got a great collection of singles from ms. khwanchit's career as a luk thung singer. this time we'll get to hear her return to folksong, singing some fantastic pleng isaeo. isaeo, characterized by its swift rhythm and intense wordplay, is a local specialty of central thailand's rural suphan buri province. if you'll pardon the oversimplification, it's something like a thai folk rap battle; the contestants take lighthearted jabs at each other and vie for the most cunning lyrical improvisations over an insistent backbeat. khwanchit is joined here by her sister khwanchai and their colleagues suchin siprachan & bunchok chanachot. these 4 have trained together since their teens, and their repartee is outstanding... enjoy!

today is makha bucha day; a festival celebrating the buddha, the dharma, and the monastic community.  in thailand, the celebrations are notable for their candlelight processions, and while i don't think i have any music relating specifically to the holiday, i do have this tape about candlelight processions!  i really haven't been able to find out much about it, though, other than that the songs all see to be variations on the big hit "chut thian wian won" by mani maniwan & udon green (which i suspect comes from an older folk melody, but to be honest i have no idea).  ultimately, all you need to know is that this beaten-up old tape features mae khwanchit, sister khwanchai and their frequent male collaborator suchin.. evergreen artists of suphanburi!  enjoy!

khana wang te: chai yen yen



artist: คณะ หวังเต๊ะ (khana wang te)
album: ใจเย็นๆ (chai yen yen)
01. ลำตัดใจเย็นๆ (lam tat chai yen yen)
02. ลำตัดอนิจจังสังขาร (lam tat anitchang sangkhan)
03. ลำตัดน้ำมาปลากินมด (lam tat nam ma pla kin mot)
04. ลำตัดกำเนิดกุมาร (lam tat kamnoet kuman)
05. ลำตัดสุกาษิตเตือนใจ (lam tat suphasit tuean chai)
06. ลำตัดเป็นหญิงแสนยาก (lam tat pen ying saen yak)
07. ลำตัดเป็นชายแสนลำบาก (lam tat pen chai saen lambak)
08. ฉ่อยบอกรักฝากใจ (choi bok rak fak chai)

at long last, our first entry of lam tat music!  traditional or folk music (especially in a form intended for local consumption, rather than the tourist market) can be a bit difficult to find in thailand.  recently, though, i spotted this tattered old tape on the street, and now i can finally share some of this great music with you!  lam tat, long since associated with thailand's central provinces, is in fact descended from malay islamic antiphon.  it typically features opposing male & female choruses, each led by a soloist who improvises lyrical barbs & double entendres in a "battle of the sexes" through wordplay.  the musical backing is no more than a frame drum & finger cymbals.  the ensemble here is the famed wang te group, led by national artist wangdi nima, who, i'm sad to say, we just lost this past june at the age of 87.  i think you'll agree that this tape is really wonderful, despite the decay at parts... and as an added bonus, mae khwanchit siprachan makes a special guest appearance!  enjoy!!
