Man on a Water Buffalo: Essential Dao Bandon 水牛に乗る人：エッセンシャル・ダオ・バンドン

by Dao Bandon ダオ・バンドン

supported by

Joe de Larios I love the energy infused in the (mostly mid-tempo) vocals. His phrasing is both compelling and accessible. Favorite track: コン・キー・ラン・クワーイ（水牛に乗る人） Kon Kee Lang Kwai (Man on a Water Buffalo).

pommypaul Brings back memories of a visit to Chiang Mai. Soulful voice with 70's lo-fi backing. I don't understand the words, but this always puts a smile on my face. Favorite track: ナム・ラム・ナーム・チー（チー川の男）Num Lam Nam Chi (Man from River Chi).

about

タイ音楽アーカイブ・シリーズ大人気作。田舎者で何が悪い！イサーンの生んだ大スター、ダオ・バンドンのベスト盤。

女、酒、農業、貧乏……自らを田舎者と名乗り、タイ東北地方の生活を歌い続けた「水牛に乗る人」ことダオ・バンドン。厳しいイサーンの土地で栽培された独自のルークトゥン・イサーン世界観がこの１枚に農耕（濃厚）凝縮。ワールドミュージック!? レアグルーヴ!? 辺境!? 歌謡!?　貧乏人から成り上がった男が作りあげた大（タイ）衆音楽のルーツがここに！

80年代にハニー・シーイサーン、チンタラー・プンラープなどワールドミュージックでお馴染みの歌手をプロデュースしていたダオ・バンドンは、ワールドミュージック・ファンやDJ等がもっともリリースを望んでいたイサーン（タイ東北部）のルークトゥン歌手だ。野太いビートにキラーなブレイク、そして独特の声が特徴のダオ・バンドンの音楽は、一度聞いたら耳にべっとりくっ付いて中毒になる魅力を放っていた。しかし70年代のイサーンで一体何が歌われていたのか？何故ヒットしたのか？その実情は謎に包まれたままだった。そこで我々チームはダオ・バンドンに直撃取材を試み、曲を訳詩。するとレゲエ顔負けのガ○ジャ・チューンからエッチについてかなりダイレクトに歌った曲、まるでブルースの世界の恋愛ソングなどなど想像を超える世界が噴出！（知らない方が良かったのかも。。）これを聴かずしてタイ歌謡はありえない！選曲・解説はSoi48。

For reasons unknowable, certain places in certain eras become hotbeds of music, fertile in their growth and flowering of musical talent. Thailand in the 1970s was such a place, and Dao Bandon is one of the enduring greats of that era. Born in the farm country of the Isan region, Bandon came from a poor family and was a monk during his teens, two great influences which shaped him, with his farm roots grounding the earthy heart of his lyrics, and his years of monastic chanting lending a unique resonance to his singing. After an apprenticeship with some of the greats of Thai music, Dao Bandon began to enjoy success leading his own band. The songs here, released in the 1970s, showcase the infectiously joyful Bandon groove, his mellifluous voice, and his captivating melodic sense. His lyrics deal with sex, love, marijuana, and the struggles of the poor, but no matter what he sings about, a sense of good cheer is always evident. Featuring parallel translations of the lyrics, in-depth liner notes, rare photos and of course great music, "Man on a Water Buffalo" is yet another example of Thai excellence from EM Records.
