There will be a brief break in our African tour until after Xmas, but only because Ghana is next and its a biggie. I have roughly 50,000 square feet of funkiness to work my way through before settling on the final selections, which will take more time than I have available just now.
That doesn't mean we are staying at home though. Perish the thought. No, we are going on an exciting trip through space and time to Thailand in the 1970s.
Our travel agents for the trip are Soundway Records, and the itinerary is set out on their compilation album "The Sound of Siam Volume 2: Molam and Luk Thung from North-East Thailand 1970-1982". Here are just a few of the highlights from the tour. If this entices you to sign up for the full package it can be booked via Bandcamp.
"Bump Lam Plearn" - The Petch Phin Thong Band
"Teoy Salap Pamaa" - Ankanang Kunchai
"Fang Jai Viangjan" - Thepporn Petchubon
And now a word from our local guides...
Siamese Soul: Thai Pop Spectacular Vol. 2 is on my wishlist. I will play Sound of Siam Volume 2 - Molam & Luk Thung from North East Thailand 1970-1982 this morning. Are any of the tracks an ode to a bus?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. My Thai is even rustier that some of the buses on rural routes in North East Thailand.
