'This is the third installment from the Thai Funk series & perhaps the best yet. Lavishly packaged in a CD housed in a fine bamboo weave from Phanat Nikhom, with a large groovy poster. No covers, no fillers just super obscure disco and funk from Thailand. Following on from two blistering compilations of Thai Funk, this compilation tuns the clock back to consider the music's antecedents. The term 'Luk Thung' is derived from a phrase that literally means 'song of the child of the fields'. Much of Thailand is still made up of rural and semi-rural communities, so it is, in other words, the music of the people. This form, through taking on modern elements and eolving continues to remain relevant. Although it was a musical hybrid, Thai funk's rootedness in the popular music of the day, as well as Thai culture, has kept it from a carbon copy, or merely aping a sound from another part of the world.'
some great tunes herein, but the true luk thung treasure trove lives hear -> มนต์รักเพลงไทย, from whence i learned everything i claim to know about the genre, for free. peter's been at it for a minute & chances are you owlready have some of his fine offerings in yr 'digital stack'. mon rak luk thung is particularly pearlesque. upon arrival thither, you need only clique on the 'tracklist' for the goods. respekt to cats who drop knowledge & fire simultaneously
