Description

A treasure of Thai music! The best selection of the orthodox Morlam (*) diva, Pailin Pawn Phibun. Thai essential edition and the world's first CD!

Pailin Pawn Phibun is a treasured child of Isan music tycoon Surin Pakshiri and an orthodox Morlam singer who followed Ankanan Kunchai. In the world's first best compilation album, a collection of famous performances from the latter half of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s during the heyday by the name combination with Paksiri. Although his ability and popularity were also popular, there were not many recordings (→ Paksiri hated crude overproduction), and most of them were released as singles, so the sound source value of this work is quite high. Almost all songs will be reissued on CD for the first time in the world.

The title song "Lamb Chrome Tun (Phantom White Bird)" is the theme song of the oversized hit movie "Monrack Menam Mu" (1978), which features Isaan music, and is her representative song. It is a masterpiece with the saying that the Thai song giant Waiphot Phetsuphant, who was impressed by this, begged Paksiri to make a cover.

Surin Paksiri, who has always brought a new twist to Isan music, is a super-experimental work because Pailin is a singer of the time when he was the sharpest. Lamb Prune, Lamb Tanwai, Luke Tung Isaan, etc. are all quirky recordings, and are full of deep and heavy works such as polyrhythmic songs reminiscent of African music and songs of tribal dance music itself. In Thai music, which tends to be spotlighted only on the singer's song and appearance, there are famous songs that should be talked about in terms of sound as well as the famous producer / arranger work in Japan, the United States and Europe. A unique music mor lam that is neither funk, jazz, rock nor club music! The more you know about Thai music, the more you will understand its brilliant speciality. Soi48 and M are proud to send you this special piece!

* Note "Mor lam": Mo is a master, and ram is a performing art that speaks with intonation in the tone. In other words, it is a "master of narrative" and is a name that refers to both the singer and the performing arts. Mor lam is not a "song". Isan (Northeastern Thailand) is the home.
