about

70年代に新世代アイドル・モーラムのブームを巻き起こした歌姫のひとり、ホントーン・ダーオウドンのタイ国外初登場のベスト選。タイでも未CD化の音源収録、解説&訳詩完備の現行決定版です。

小柄で童顔、可憐なパーソナリティーで愛されたホントーンは80年代以降の歌手の手本になった一方、人気全盛時に突如引退したミステリアスな歌姫である。
彼女の音楽は大物プロデューサー、ドイ・インタノンの初期の名仕事としてファンに知られ、このコンビで挑戦的な作品を発表。このアルバムではモーラム/ルークトゥンを股にかけた彼女の本当(ほんとーん 汗)に幅広いレパートリーを、信頼のSoi48の選曲で抽出し、その魅力を分かりやすく伝える。
モーラムにディスコを取り入れた奇天烈な大ヒット「Bump Lam Phloen」、彼女の代表曲「Hongthong Khanong Lam」等のアッパー・チューンから、ルークトゥン・ディスコ、幻の自主制作シングル(内容最高)やあの「りんご追分」の美しいタイ語カバーも収録。何をしてホントーンがタイ音楽界のニューウェーヴだったのかこれで是非体験あれ!

・「モーラム」とは?
モーは達人、ラムは声調に抑揚をつけながら語る芸能。つまり“語りの達人”で、その歌手と芸能の両方をさす名称。モーラムは“歌”ではない。イサーン(タイ東北部)が本場である。

・「ルークトゥン」とは?
“田舎者の歌”あるいは“田園の子供”の意を持つ音楽ジャンルで、1960年代半ばにその名が確立され、現在はタイのナショナル・ジャンルとして継承されるタイ独特の歌謡音楽。田園風景、田舎と都市の対比、市井の生活や時事問題を扱う歌詞を重視する。音楽上の傾向はあるが特定の音楽形式はない。

How can we explain the power of music? How can songs delivered in a language which we don't understand move us so? This collection contains the very best songs from Hongthong Dao-udon, one of the great Thai singers of the "third generation" of Molam singers, one of the artists who succeeded in fusing Molam with Luk Thung, thus triggering a new generation of singers; in fact she was the first to sing both genres from the beginning of her career, considering herself to be situated happily between the two styles. But none of this matters, finally, to the listener. This is music, not musicology, and Hongthong Dao-udon sings to us, not the pedants. Her career was brief, and these songs from the late 70s and early 80s are her very best, showcasing her rich vibrato, her masterful control, and the undeniable emotional power of her voice, carrying us from joy and whimsy to melancholy and desolation. Produced mainly by Doi Inthanon, a legendary independent producer, these songs were very popular in Thailand, and it is easy to hear why, with strong melodies, impeccable swing, interesting arrangements, and of course her thrilling voice. Available on CD and vinyl, with two songs previously unavailable on CD, as well as her first recording and her biggest hits, this is essential.

What is “luk thung”?
A musical genre whose name means ‘country person’s song’ or ‘children of the field’. The name became established in the latter half of the 1960s and now has the status of a national genre of popular song unique to Thailand. The lyrics of luk thung songs deal mainly with the rural idyll, comparisons between the city and the countryside, life in the big city and current affairs. There are certain typical traits to the music, but no official musical form.

What is “Molam”?
"mo" is an artist and "lam" is a kind of performance art where the artist tells a story using tonal inflexions. In other words, the term molam refers to both the singer and art form. Molam pieces are not strictly speaking "songs".
