World / Traditional / India

Baan Yen Laken is a leading figure who has built up the existence of a female mass idol Mor lam in the heyday, and is a superstar who has been the goal of many singers including Ankanan and Hong Thong since the latter half of the 1960s. Discovered by Isan's big-name producer, Tape Pubut, she has an urban mor lam that was one of the first to incorporate Western music, and destroyed traditional mor lam entertainment with flashy costumes and bewitching stage productions. The state of (* meaning of development and development in Thai) that foresaw this era was criticized at that time, but the influence that it became more enthusiastic and became the mainstream of the present age is immeasurable.

She was supported not only by her cuteness and flashiness, but also by her debut in an era when good and bad songs were the first priority, and she was sung by legendary Morlam singers. Because he was a talented singer who fascinated him. That should be it, Baan Yen's singing ability learned under Morlam's classic apprenticeship is with origami. He is now one of the leading singers in the country (he has also performed at Thai festivals in Japan).

This time, she compiled the most violent 70's innovative Morlam & Luk Thung works, and distributed them in a well-balanced manner from flashy and up-to-date songs to moist and astringent songs. It is a "listening" best compilation album that focuses on the innate talent of Baan Yen, the skill of singing. Soi48, of course, for song selection, commentary, and binding!

Come join EM Records on another of their spatio-temporal musical journeys. This time, we're off to Madras, 1969 to hear legendary south Indian film music composer/director, T. K. Ramamoorthy's prescient Fabulous Notes And Beats Of The Indian Carnatic - Jazz, a daring fusion of Carnatic music and jazz. Although jazz musicians had been using Indian elements before this time, Fabulous Notes was the first recording in which accomplished Indian musicians adopted jazz elements. And these are accomplished musicians indeed -- veterans of the demanding Indian film music studios, trained in the strict discipline of the traditional Carnatic system, led by the visionary Ramamoorthy, a legendary composer who collaborated with M. S. Viswanathan in providing soundtracks for more than 700 films. The music here is a true Indian music, adhering to traditional Carnatic ragas with their varying ascending and descending modes, using a wide range of Indian instruments in an appealing fusion with jazz instruments, ideas and rhythms. The result is not a slavish imitation of modish Western styles, but a stimulating and surprising new entity; fans of later Ethio-jazz may well experience a frisson of familiarity at certain moments when listening to these recordings. Famed composer Ramamoorthy is also a masterful arranger and orchestrator, giving us surprising vistas of timbre, allowing instruments to come to the fore, supported in appealing combinations. But the true heart of both Carnatic music and jazz is improvisation, and T.K.R. allows these fine players space within relatively brief moments to make their own statements within the ragas, as detailed in the liner notes accompanying this reissue. What we hear is a new meeting of worlds, both sharing a respect for the primacy of improvisation, a love for the intricacies of ensemble-playing, and a fine understanding of the power of propulsive yet sophisticated rhythms. Fabulous Notes reveals a true Indian music, not merely Occidental music with hints of Indo-spice. We can picture the recording sessions, with the musicians seated on the floor of the studio, Indian musicians playing Indian music, playing jazz, playing Fabulous Notes And Beats Of The Indian Carnatic - Jazz. Indian instruments include: veena, gotuvadyam, flute, tabla tharang, tape, conch, ghatam, mridangam, chandai & sudha madhalam, tabla, jalra and bul bul thara, and Western instruments include: bass clarinet, saxophone, piano, guitar, double bass, trumpet, drums and bongos.

Original compositions inspired by the words of Omar Khayyam, arranged and conducted by Richard Evans. It is an oriental and exotic masterpiece that reflects Eastern thought while incorporating elements of African music, such as kalimba, with Japanese koto and harp. Recorded at Ter-Mar Studios, Chicago, November, 1969 - January, 1970. Published by Wiljean Music

Brazilian music at it's finest! 2x7" set of four beautiful Piry Reis recordings from the 70s and 80s. Disc one is a reissue of his 1975 single on Som Livre, 'Heroi Moderno', which features the highly sought after 7inch version of 'Cisplatina' on the flip. The second disc holds the rare cuts 'Reza Brava' (1970) & 'Céu De Manágua' (1984). The project came together with the blessing of Piry Reis himself, and is released on the sub-label of Rush Hour recordings, New Dawn. Artwork by Amsterdam's Sekan with a touch by Megin Hayden. New Dawn, set up for less electronic but equally adventurous releases by artists we love.

This collaboration by Tokyo producers/musicians Shintaro Sakamoto and VIDEOTAPEMUSIC is the first of two EM Records 12-inch vinyl-only “tribute releases” in support of the film “Bangkok Nites”, produced by Kuzoku. Based on samples from Dao Bandon, Hongthong Dao-udon, Phairin Phonphibun, Thailand and Tokyo dreamworlds meet in these songs.

A masterpiece by Brij Bhushan Kabra, the master of Hindustani classical music on guitar! In India, the guitar was introduced by Hawaiian musicians in the 1920s, and later became widely popular in popular music and film music. He studied under Ali Akbar Khan, who deepened his knowledge of the instrument, and his music has a classical depth as well as a calm, relaxed mood and lightness. This may be due to the fact that the guitar is free from the weight of continuous performance tradition. The method of playing the guitar is also unconventional, as it is played horizontally on the lap, and I think there is a fascination when one follows one's own inner desires and creates something that has never been done before. I recommend this album to anyone who loves Indian music and guitar, or anyone who just wants to relax and unwind. It has been newly remastered and is only available in one pressing, so don't miss it. This is the original 1982 release with the world famous tabla player Zakir Hussain.

What is HIP HOP Global? What is local? The new work of JUU4E, a Thai rapper who repaints the hype-covered , is a light of hope for pan-Asian music in the 21st century, and is a black ship released to the world. No, if it was a black ship that appeared dignifiedly in the daytime, this work is a small smuggling ship that sews the night and crosses the sea to carry .

TRAP beats born in Atlanta in the United States have become a common language in the world and continue to produce replicas, and as in Asia, many acts appear and disappear, and rappers from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have been attracting attention for a long time nowadays. "YouTube play XX million times!" "Instagram follower XX million people!" Such phrases flew around, and the rapper made full use of social media to aim for monetization from a single buzz. It is JUU4E that strongly expresses and continues to create original HIP HOP.

JUU4E is a rapper who has been respected as an OG in Thailand, where young talents are appearing one after another, and has established a unique standing position. In the previous work "New Luk Thung" (2019), under the production of Young-G of stillichimiya / OMK, a masterpiece that is the latest HIPHOP and the latest Luk Thung by eclectic Thai omnivorous ghetto song, Luk Thung with HIP HOP. I made it. This work shocked both inside and outside the country, such as being nominated for the prestigious RIN (Rap is Now) annual best in Thailand, but when this "New Luk Thung" was released, in fact, this work "Idiot World" was already produced. Was starting.

This work is all self-produced by JUU4E. The lyric that interweaves Thai, Japanese and English, the stretchable flow, and the track that has a lower center of gravity than the previous work and is boiled down in dubby are the same as the previous work that chewed HIP HOP / TRAP and made it completely own, but it should be noted. Is a point where you can feel the intention to strongly represent . Ron Gen, a Japanese folk song influenced by Malaysian music, and Teresa Ten's songs that JUU4E has been accustomed to since childhood are quoted, but they have been incorporated into JUU4E. Is lightly slashing the masquerading global and exoticism that world music once had, as well as the self-orientalism that is innocently rampant in the current Asian hip-hop.

If you touch this work by biting the information that floods the net with HIP HOP hot in Asia, you're lucky. I want you to be stupid by all means being overwhelmed by the lyrics that challenge the "stupid world" head-on and the sound that is bitten by overwhelming freedom.

Woman, liquor, agriculture, poverty ... The world's first debut of Dao Bandon, the "buffalo rider" who continued to sing the life of the northeastern part of Thailand while calling himself a countryman and performing indigenously! A unique view of the Luk Thung world cultivated in the harsh land of Isan is condensed into this one piece! World music !? Rare groove !? Frontier !? Kayo!? ……. Here is the roots of the great (Thai) popular music created by a man made up of poor people!

The best compilation album of Dao Bandon, a Luk Thung singer from Isan (Northeastern Thailand) who was most wanted to be released by world music fans and frontier rare groove DJs! Thai music is now attracting the attention of collectors all over the world as dance music. Dao Bandung's music, which is characterized by thick beats, killer breaks, and unique voices and tunes, had the appeal of being addicted to the ears once heard. But what was sung in Isan in the 70's? Why did Dao Bandung hit? Its charm remained a mystery. This time, we interviewed Dr. Dao Bandon directly and translated all the songs in Isan and Thai into parallel, and the astonishing facts are under the sun! The laughing and crying original scenery of the idyllic Isan is revealed, such as a song about the set from reggae-like Ga * ja tune, a love song in the world of blues, and so on.

In the 1980s, Mr. Dao produced singers familiar with world music such as Honey Sri-Isan and Jintara Poonlarp. This album is full of roots up to the present in the genre of Luk Thung, which is still extremely popular. There can be no Thai song without listening to this!

In this work, all lyrics are posted in three languages, Thai, Japanese and English. The commentary is posted in Japanese and English, and the annotations of Thai proper nouns are complete! A spirited specification that will be an indicator of future world releases!

In the Thai music series of EM + Soi48, the of Surin Park Siri, a living legend of the Thai music world, appears. Surin, who is a musician comparable to Coxsone Dodd, Ryoichi Hattori, Phil Spector, Theo Macello, etc., has the nickname "King of International Song", which is the national national of Thailand introduced this time. It was attached from a group of works produced by him in Music Luke Thun (* 1). Luk Thung is a genre where the subject of singing = lyrics is important, and as long as it is guaranteed, music can be anything. The point is, it should be fun! It has a greedy omnivorous nature, and the one who in its avant-garde is Surin Park Siri.

Born in Isan, northeastern Thailand, he is an inventor-like producer who has often sent out cutting-edge (metamorphic) killer that will be the flagship of Thai pop producers, and is a great man who has developed Thai music by himself. A genuine record man who wants to do something different than sell, and a living music library that has seen the rise of Thai music with a solid critique.

This time, we selected 12 unscrupulous mixed songs that insist on the true from the many Luk Thung songs that Dr. Surin worked on. As a result, this is the royal road Luk Thung that appointed big Lao singers such as Plain Prom Dane and Waiphot Phetsuphant! From the Laotian hymn, Bollywood tune, an original version of Kawao Siantone's Ganja tune and cover song sampled in Juu's "New Luk Thung", "Soran Bushi" sequel and Kyu Sakamoto's song (??) Covers of Japanese folk songs and songs that are irresistible to Japanese fans, suspicious and exotic Indian Luk Thung, Thai funk prototype in collaboration with ally Samai Ornwon, super DOPE Leh (* 2) and Ramwon (*) It became the Luk Thung entertainment comprehensive catalog called 3).

If Juu & G. Jee's "New Luk Thung", which sings "new" "Luk Thung", is the Luk Thung , this work collection of Surin Park Siri is a sound source collection of Luk Thung . If you check this, "New Luk Thung" will shine another shine while revealing what Luk Thung is.

All with translations this time as well. The commentary is of course Soi48.

=======================

* Note
1) Luk Thung: A music genre that means "country child" or "country song". Song music that was established in the mid-1960s and is now inherited as Thai national music. Emphasis is placed on lyrics. It is highly omnivorous because there is no specific music format.

2) Leh: A Thai-specific genre in which Buddhist scriptures have been converted into songs through the preaching of monks. Singers who can improvise with limited syllables are respected because they require a high level of skill in the storytelling art.

3) Ramwon: Music with a strong character of creative folk songs established by the Thai government in the 1940s to raise national prestige. It was popular among the working class because of its characteristic ring dance like Japanese Bon Odori. There are two meanings and usages, one is the melody of Thai folk songs reorganized into Western music style, and the other is dance music called Ramwon regardless of genre.

One of the deepest and ideal forms of "Bon Odori", which is innumerable all over Japan, is considered by Minyo Mountains x M Records. The non-bouncing drums and hammer beats of krautrock reminiscent of German rock, the whistle that is blown all at once at an overwhelming volume, and the pole of minimal dance music that repeats thoroughly! Its too stoic and sharp sound image makes me want to call it "rural industrial music" or "richie hawtin in the field" that is played without using electricity. This is the "Boundary Stone Throwing Dance" that still remains in northern Saitama Prefecture. Here, the songs and dances that retain this old form have not been turned into tourism, and have continued to this day as the activities of the Bon festival.

This time, we remastered the song contained in the record "Saitama Bon Odori" produced by the Saitama Folk Culture Center in 1983, and recorded / mixed the latest version by the preservation society as of 2017. Recorded in. Please listen to the Japanese dance classics, where the stone Buddha begins to dance. The binding is Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48) following "Yumi Kagura".

If you're a fan of Hiramazu, VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, Tortoise, Tommy Guerrero, Martin Denny, or Balearic jungle, you're definitely a narcissus! Argentine talent Emilio Alo's new work is a fantastic, mellow and minimalistic exotic tribal music in the name of the band. Released worldwide from M Records.

The solo works "Panorámico" (2007) and "Estrambótico" (2012) released by Emilio Alo, a multi-instrumentalist writer who does not need explanation for Argentine music fans, are a new generation after the acoustic group. It was a complete studio work under the influence of folklore revival. However, it is extremely important that the key man of the scene dared to form a band here. The debut album of this suspicious band name , which is named after the South American crocodile, is a concept of music that flows in an unexplored region, imagining the music played by a fictitious tribe. Alo's own instrument called Kalimbaphone (the name is also the best!), Which is a remodeled Kalimba, is set as the core, and the band groove, which is mellow and fantastically played with loose waves, is quite hypnotic. Addictive. It's a waste to be monopolized only by Argentine music fans, and there is no doubt that fans of Hiramazu and VIDEOTAPEMUSIC will definitely be addicted to this fantasy music!

The second of two EM Records 12-inch vinyl-only "tribute releases" in support of the Kuzoku film "Bangkok Nites", this time by rap group stillichimiya, local heroes in their Yamanashi homeland. Based on samples from Dao Bandon's biggest hit, the classic luk thung Isan tune "Man on a Water Buffalo" [EM1131CD/LP], the tracks here, including a remix by Compuma, are a grittier, real-world counterpart to the dreamy first release in the series.

The second album of Clan Caiman (Japanese name: Caiman), a quintet led by Emilio Alo, a musician representing Argentine New Newsick, has appeared. High-humidity indoor tribal music played with hypnotic sounds and primitive pulsations under more thorough restraint.

Clan Caiman, a five-member band formed by Argentine multi-instrumentalist writer Emilio Alo with the concept of "imagining the music played by a fictional tribe." His debut album "Clan Caimán" (2018) was widely heard by Hiramazu, VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, Tortoise, Tommy Guerrero, Martin Denny and others. In this second work, "Asoma (Rises in English)", Aro's creative musical instrument , which is a remodeled Kalimba, becomes the cornerstone of the ensemble and gives off an unknown ethnicity, but it has a high musicianship. The evolution (deepening) in the direction of can be heard in the arrangements and performances of the Argentine performers who have more restraint than the previous work. As Alo himself explains, "There are no vocals, cymbals, or fanfares," the eight songs have a metroethnicity sensation after abandoning the climax of the chord progression and the flashy arrangements that attract attention. The sound field is filled with suspicious warmth and hypnosis. The binding design that traps the high humidity air is again Sebastian Duran and Ian Kornfeld.

One of the deepest and ideal forms of "Bon Odori", which is innumerable all over Japan, is considered by Minyo Mountains x M Records.

Woman, liquor, agriculture, poverty ...

A unique view of the Luk Thung world cultivated in the harsh land of Isan is condensed into this one piece! World music !? Rare groove !? Frontier !? Kayo!? ……. Here is the roots of the great (Thai) popular music created by a man made up of poor people!

The best compilation album of Dao Bandon, a Luk Thung singer from Isan (Northeastern Thailand) who was most wanted to be released by world music fans and frontier rare groove DJs! Thai music is now attracting the attention of collectors all over the world as dance music.

In this work, all lyrics are posted in three languages, Thai, Japanese and English. The commentary is posted in Japanese and English, and the annotations of Thai proper nouns are complete! A spirited specification that will be an indicator of future world releases!

From beginning to end, sometimes chanting Hindu mantras, attack with heavy percussion frenzy Indian funk with a mix of Western, Latin and Arabic music. According to the credit notation, there are a total of 16 musicians. Western electric instruments such as electric guitars and electric basses, Indian percussion instruments, whistle, organ, electronic musical instruments like Moog (!), Men's and women's chorus and yelling, the song bursts with high tension. Trips to Kathmanz, Calcutta hymns, let's go dancing with me, etc. are included in the songs, and all songs are short, thick and thick like Ramones. The more I listen to it, the more my head feels numb, but I don't know what I played for. The youthfulness of Indian people, all eight songs recorded in 1978! !!

The second Thai music release of EM Records! !! This time, Isan's Mor lam in northeastern Thailand has become familiar with the release of numerous compilations! !! This time, with a different selection, with the cooperation of Maft Sai and Chris Menist, who ignited the Thai music boom also known as Bangkok's underground party "Paradise Bangkok", Tonfado, a master player of a two-string violin called "Saw". Reissue the extremely rare sound source of Fighted! Thor's stunning performance will catch your ears, but of course the release from EM shouldn't end there, and there are many funky tracks that introduce gadgets, noisy percussion instruments, groovy basslines, and more! An exquisite piece that combines the earthy performances of country music with modern sounds using electric instruments at an elegant and high level! Not only for DJs, but also for those who like folk music and those who want to feel relaxed and ethnic at home, this is a highly recommended piece! !! !! !!

This time, one of the diva who caused the boom of Mor lam new generation idols in the 70's, Hong Thong Da Oudong, is the best selection for the first appearance outside Thailand. The definitive edition with sound source recording, commentary and translated poems that have not been made into a CD even in Thailand!

Beloved for her petite, baby-faced, and pretty personality, Hong Thong has been active in the middle of the two major genres of Morlam (* 1) and Luk Thung (* 2), and has become a model for next-generation singers since the 1980s. On the other hand, it is a mysterious diva who suddenly retired at the height of popularity.

Her music was known to fans as an early masterpiece of big-name producer Doi Inthanon, and she presented a challenging work in this combination. In this album, her true (really sweaty) wide repertoire with Morlam / Luk Thung on her crotch is extracted by the reliable Soi48 song selection, and its charm is conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner.

From upper tunes such as the bizarre blockbuster "Bump Lam Phloen" that incorporates disco into mor lam, her representative song "Hongthong Khanong Lam", Luk Thung disco, a phantom self-produced single (the best content), and that "apple" Also includes a beautiful cover of "Oiwake". Another highlight is Soi48's commentary, which is based on a direct interview with Hong Tone, revealing an unknown story. Come and experience what Hontone was the new wave of Thai music!

A hard and killer Morlam / Luk Thung barrage of secret weapons. Surin Paksiri's treasured child, , Son Taya Karasin's best selection of men's days has appeared in M's Thai Music Archive.

Son Taya is a singer who was hand-salted by Surin Pakshiri, a famous producer of Isan in the northeastern part of Thailand who made "Isan Lam Phloon" (1972) by Ankanan Kunchai, and is a female mor lam singer Payrin Pawn Phibun (already mentioned by Em). He is a "boy" singer who played an active part in pairs with. Based on the belief of the patterner of Isan music (developed and developed in Thai), Paksiri who always tried new things was the hottest recording of 70s-80s, and this Sontaya sound source is a strange and heavy mor lam that can not be heard anywhere else. A treasure trove of Luk Thung. From the Isan girls at that time to the hearts of the current Japanese, European and American dance floor DJs, this 's dangerous world is put together in one piece. The combination of Sonyata-san and Paksiri's unique songs before coming out, which was extremely popular with women but had a maiden spirit, gives off a hard charm that enthusiasts (what?) Can't beat. There is a mass!

In Thai music, which tends to focus only on the appearance and voice of the singer, as with the producer / arranger work in Japan, the United States and Europe, there are works that should be talked about in their contents. Soi48 and M are proud to send you unique Thai music that is neither funk, jazz nor rock, and the more you know about it, the more you will understand its speciality.

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.

Phumphuang Duanchan is a legendary diva who has produced many fans in Japan, and is too famous for the cover of Kenichi Maekawa's "Clinging Thai Music". However, since he was a superstar who passed away early, there were a lot of memorial and editing albums, so what was the original album that came out in the best era? ?? Unless you're a big fan, it's hard to tell the difference, but this time around, the original album produced under the direction of the master Doi Inthanon in the mid-1980s, during the heyday of his career, was totally produced. Has a special presence and value.

After dying at the age of 30 in 1992, Pumpuang, who is worshiped as a "song sacred" in Thailand, has a lot of gossip in his life where success and misery are extremely mixed, but in terms of music, why he could become the queen of Luk Thung, etc. In fact, there are few opportunities to be introduced from the front. This time, based on the information we interviewed from multiple parties, we will cut into the wonderfulness and reality of Pun's music.

Whether you've been listening to Thai music-world music for a long time, or you're interested in Thai music but don't know what to listen to, it's one of the big daffodils.

The "genuine" is finally here!
The face of "Rampane" that swept Thailand in the cassette era, the bad tune of Quanter Farsawan is the best compilation album in the world's first CD. Here is the naked appearance of Street Morlam, a dance scene specification that is far from tradition!

In Morlam (* 1), which was a performing art that inherited the traditional "mold", it was rare to make a new mold, but "Lamb Pane", which appeared in the early 1980s, was a great producer, Doi Inthanon. A new type of lam created by Inthanon to meet the needs of the times, its appearance was literally an unconventional event. It is said that this Lamb Pane was specialized in the dance hall scene from the beginning and promoted the appearance of Lamb Singh, who is currently at the forefront, and is an important lamb type that has become the ancestor of Thai bass music since the 90's. In this commentary, Soi48 reveals the secret story behind its birth.

Quanter is the representative of Ram Pane, who made his debut by Doi Inthanon, who was selected from among 1,000 singers. With a strong appearance, he is a powerful singer who rams the life scenery of Thai people (Isan people) at the bottom, incites dance, and burns thick and short. Enjoy heavy street mor lam with translations, including the Thai-style biker song masterpiece "Lam Phaen Motorsai Tham Saeb" that incorporates the engine sound of one of the representative songs, Motorsai (* 2). that!

----------------------------

* 1: Mo is a master, and Lamb 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.

* 2: A motorcycle in Thailand.
