EM + Soi48のタイ音楽シリーズにタイ音楽界の生ける伝説、スリン・パークシリの＜仕事集＞が登場。コクソン・ドッド、服部良一、フィル・スペクター、テオ・マセロetcとも比肩すべき音楽人、スリンは「キング・オブ・インターナショナル・ソング」という異名を持っていますが、それは今回紹介するタイの国民的音楽ルークトゥン（＊1）で彼がプロデュースした作品群から付けられたもの。ルークトゥンは歌う題材＝歌詞が重要なジャンルで、それさえ担保されていれば音楽はぶっちゃけなんでも良し。要は面白けりゃいいのだ！というどん欲なまでの雑食性があり、その前衛で＜攻めた＞のがスリン・パークシリです。
This collection of 12 luk thung (1) songs from the 1960s-80s, all produced by Surin Phaksiri, is a superb showcase of cross-genre/multi-national fertilization, with Latin, jazz, western pop, Indian and Japanese music seamlessly melding with the musical world of Isan (northeast Thailand), which is strongly rooted in Laotian culture. Esteemed producer Surin Phaksiri, an Isan icon, always strove to drive Thai music forward, with innovative techniques and open ears, introducing international elements as well as Lao influences, including the use of the khaen. Most of the singers here, all famed and respected, have Lao roots, and it is predominantly through music that the Isan Lao-Thai culture has entered the Thai national consciousness. These lovely and joyous songs are, for the most part, previously unavailable outside of Thailand; more than half are first-time reissues. The wide range of songs here includes covers of Japanese folk and pop songs, a paean to marijuana, proto-Thai funk, a ramwong-style (2) dance tune, a cover of a Bollywood classic, some straight-ahead luk thung, a unique Indian-style luk thung, and a gorgeous answer song to a movie hit. This array of gems, compiled by Soi48, who also provide the liner notes, is available on CD, vinyl and digital download, with English notes and lyrics (only available for CD & vinyl version).
Footnotes:
1) 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.
2) Ramwong: A unique form of Thai dance music, fostered as a means of promoting national pride and unity. Similar to Japanese Bon Odori, participants form a circle and dance together. The term can refer to the particular style of music, or the actual dance.
