about

イサーン（タイ東北部）で活躍したソー名人、トンファド・ファイテッドのアンソロジー。

トンファドは、ピン（イサーンの三弦リュート）やケーン（イサーンのパンパイプ）と共にタイで古くから親しまれる楽器ソー（Sor: 2弦ヴァイオリン）のナンバーワン名人であり、生涯をイサーン音楽・モーラムに捧げたソー・マスターだ。モータウンにおけるファンク・ブラザーズのごとく、タイ歌謡曲で楽器奏者が前に出ることはありえず、彼らは歌手の背後にいる「陰」の存在だが、楽器奏者として70年代にリーダー・アルバムとシングルを発表したトンファドは例外中の例外。

ここに収められたトンファドの作品は、宮廷・古典器楽のようなものではなく、イサーンの音楽がロックバンド化していった70年代の録音で、エレキ・セットと混合したストリート感覚漂う民謡ファンクだ。このアンソロジーでは、驚きのファンキーカット「Eua Aree See Sor」(M-4)、ケーン奏者のクンパーンとの壮絶な演奏バトル「Diew Sor - Diew Khaen」(track 13)の2大キラー・チューンをはじめ、ソウ独奏、ゆったりした合奏などを収録し、彼の名人芸と演奏ヴァリエーションが堪能できる内容となっている。

また、彼がバッキングした女性歌手、スパープ・ダオドゥアンジェン（M-6, 15）とホントーン・ダーオウドン（M-8）の名唱も特別収録。トンファドに取材した内容をベースにした解説は、モーラムとタイのストリート・ミュージックの基本資料としても必読！

released April 30, 2018

We are concentrating on the ‘sor’ from Thailand, the traditional two-stringed violin that is a mainstay of Isan musical culture.

"Diew Sor Isan: The North East Thai Violin of Thonghuad Faited" focuses on the talents of one of the instrument’s greatest proponents and brings his key releases together onto one anthology for the first time.

Thonghuad comes from the ‘molam’ tradition, the dominant rural music that hails from Isan, the north east Thai province that borders with Laos and Cambodia. Underpinned by woozy basslines, drones and clattering percussion, his music is characterised by sprightly melodies through to haunting dirges that could come from as far a field as eastern China, or even the Celtic traditions of Ireland.

Detailed notes trace his history from humble beginnings to playing up to five gigs a night in Bangkok at the peak of his fame. Whether it’s playing beautifully crafted solo pieces, or providing a counterpoint for raw vocal work, Thonghuad Faited is a nationally recognised master of his craft who has additionally cut sides with dozens of established singers over the years, such as Waipod Phetsuphan and Angkhanang Khunchai.

Percussive, otherworldly and universal, we are proud to present this unique music to the world, much of it released outside of Thailand for the first time.
