been on a bit of a mouth organ jag lately & am completely sprung on this exceptional recording. Isan is the Thai name fer the country's northeast region, the Khorat Plateau, bordered by Laos & the Mekong River on the northeast & on the south by Cambodia. Isan Slété are the Flower of Isan, six stalwart musicians who play the traditional musique of the region as it would have been performed before electricity or radio... & as it is still performed today, in the villages & markets of remoter areas, whenever somebody picks up a pin or khène & wants to play. 320 thanks to Ambrose Bierce of WeLove-Music fame fer ushering this into my consciousness. further
