this week, bilingual thai-khmer rap from the border region! i don't know much about our star here, num mueangsurin ("the boy from surin city"); he seems to have mostly vanished from memory as far as the internet is concerned. thanks to some helpful liner notes, though, i can tell you that his 1994 cassette from topline-diamond features music by the era's ever-present a. num phuthai, as well as two lesser-knowns, maengkabi and frank nio-thong, and was recorded between bangkok's chaturong, phaibun, and c.a. studios. the tracks are a combination of luk thung- and kantruem-flavored originals with some light rap verses, and rewrites of both international and domestic pop hits (see: dr. albarn's "no coke"). enjoy!
