選曲:Soi48

空族映画『バンコクナイツ』挿入歌「憎っくきモーターサイ」(M2)収録。

いよいよ「本物」登場。カセット時代のタイを席巻した<ラム・ペーン>女番長、クワンター・ファーサワーンのDOPEなチューンの数々が堂々の世界初CD化。伝統とかけ離れたダンスホール現場仕様、ストリート・モーラムの赤裸々な姿がここに。

伝統の「型」を継承する側面をもつ芸能だったモーラム(*1)では、新しく型を作ることは稀だったが、80年代初頭に出現した<ラム・ペーン>は、凄腕プロデューサー、ドイ・インタノンが時代のニーズで創作した新型ラムで、その登場は文字通り<型破り>の出来事だった。このラム・ペーンは最初から若者ダンスホール現場に特化、現在タイ最前線で猛威を振るうラム・シン登場前夜に開発され、90年代以降のタイ産ベースミュージックの祖となる重要ラム型だ。

クワンターはドイ・インタノンに歌手1000人の中から選ばれてデビューしたラム・ペーンものの顔。ストロングな風貌で底辺のイサーン人の生活風景をラムし、ダンスを煽り、太く短く燃えたパワフルな歌手だ。代表曲のひとつ、モーターサイ(*2)のエンジン音をぶち込んだタイ式バイカー・ソング傑作「憎っくきモーターサイ」をはじめとするヘヴィーなストリート・モーラムを訳詩とともにご堪能あれ!

*1: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。

*2:タイでいうオートバイのこと。

Compiled by Soi48

The best of Khwanta Fasawang, the heart and soulful Sister No. 1 of 1980s Lam Phaen, queen of the cassette era. She was chosen, from over a thousand demo tapes, by legendary producer and songwriter Doi Inthanon, who wanted to create a new, streetwise dance style of molam(*) music. The Lam Phaen genre was the result, and Khwanta Fasawang was the singer he chose to be its representative. Combining earlier musical trajectories with electronic elements and lyrics dealing with drinking and love, money and motorcycles, Khwanta led the cassette-format Lam Phaen boom of the early 80s, gaining great popularity in both her native Isan and across the whole country. A change in lyrical concerns and the use of electronics has parallels with Jamaican Dancehall, and this music can be heard as one of the roots of Lam Sin, the Thai Bass Music which began in the 80s and 90s, but these recordings are not mere musicology. This is living music, and very fine music at that. Queen Khwanta, Sister Fasawang. She can't be denied.

* 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".
