about

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。

スリン・パークシリはタイ東北部イサーン出身の音楽作家／プロデューサーであり、AをBに取り入れたらどうなるのか？という実験的・発明的な手法を用いて同国のポップス制作者の旗印となるトレンドを生み出し、タイ音楽を発展させてきた偉人。売ることより変わったことをしたい生粋のレコード・マンであり、確かな批評眼でタイ音楽の隆盛を見てきた生ける音楽ライブラリーでもある。

今回はスリン先生が手掛けた沢山のルークトゥン曲からまことの＜スリンらしさ＞を主張する無節操ごちゃ混ぜ12曲を選抜。その結果、プレーン・プロムデーンやワイポット・ペットスパンらラオス系大物歌手を起用したこれぞ王道ルークトゥン！というラオス系賛歌から、Juu『New Luk Thung』でもサンプリングされたカワオ・シアントーンのガンジャ・チューンとカヴァー曲のオリジ版、ボリウッド・チューンや、「ソーラン節」続編や坂本九の曲（？？）など和物ファンにはたまらない日本の民謡・歌謡のカヴァー、怪しげでやたらにエキゾなインディアン・ルークトゥン、盟友サマイ・オーンウォンと組んだタイ・ファンクのプロトタイプ、超DOPEなレー（＊2）やラムウォン（＊3）というルークトゥン娯楽総合カタログとなった。

「ニュー」な「ルークトゥン」を高らかに謳うJuu & G. Jee『New Luk Thung』をルークトゥン＜最新型＞とするなら、このスリン・パークシリの仕事集はルークトゥン＜クラシック＞の音源集。これをチェックすればルークトゥンが何なのか姿を現しついでに『New Luk Thung』が別の輝きを放つことでしょう。

今回も全て訳詞付き。解説はもちろんSoi48。

＊注
1）ルークトゥン：“田舎の子”、“田舎者の歌”の意を持つ音楽ジャンル。1960年代半ばに確立し、現在はタイのナショナル・ミュージックとして継承される歌謡音楽。歌詞を特に重視する。特定の音楽形式がないため雑食性が高い。

2）レー：仏教教典が僧侶の説法を経て歌謡化したタイ独自のジャンル。制限された音節で即興的に歌っていく話芸で高い技量を必要とするためレーができる歌手はリスペクトされる。

3）ラムウォン：国威掲揚のためタイ政府が1940年代に制定した創作民謡の性格の強い音楽。日本の盆踊りのような輪踊りが特徴で労働者階級で流行した。タイ民謡のメロディーを西洋音楽風に改編したものと、踊れる音楽ならジャンルを問わず何でもラムウォンと呼んで踊ったもの、2つの意味・用法がある。

released August 23, 2019

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.

It's like listening to your favourite long awaited radio show, never knowing what's up next but trusting it will be deadly arresting. Funk, Soul, Afrobeat, Reggae (track 2 sounds as If it has been recorded at Lee Perry's Black Ark ca. 1975) to Disco sounds (the chosen good ones) and original creations in such an awesome running order that you can't help but start all over again once the record/ CD has stopped! Awesome packaging and mastering as well, highly recommended!!! Markus Bader
