about

2020年リプレス。「ソーラン節」と「恋の季節」の強烈タイ語カバーをカップリングしての日タイ友好企画。和モノ＆ワールド・ファンに捧げる最強7インチ。

タイ東北部イサーン出身のタイ音楽界の重要人物、スリン・パークシリが60年代後半に手がけた、ルークトゥン（＊1）の中でも相当キワドい2曲が本邦初リリース。

「ソーラン節（＊2）」は、音楽映画『モンラック・ルークトゥン』にも出演した俳優、バンチョップ・チャイプラのファンキー熱唱で、ニシン漁師さんには申し訳ない歌詞に変貌。伴奏は60sルークトゥンの王道パターンだが、リズムが何故かドドンパ（！）「恋の季節（＊3）」はご存知ピンキーとキラーズの昭和歌謡ヒットをルークトゥンの革命児、サマイ・オーンウォンが気持ちで押し込んだ熱血ヴァージョン。タイ日交流プログラムで来日したサマイが当時ブレイクしていたこの曲に惚れ、帰国後に吹き込んだそうですが、日本語とタイ語で歌い、彼のトレードマークであるケーン（＊4）を伴奏にぶち込んだズンドコgroove、ごちゃまぜがキモのルークトゥン妙味を味わうにもってこいのキラー・カットです！

＊1：タイの地方の音楽とロック、ラテン、インド、中国、日本、ハワイ等々の音楽を吸収し
て形成されたタイ独自の歌謡ジャンル。60年代前半にその名ができた。
＊2：タイ語原題「ヤー・ドゥーン・ショー」
＊3：タイ語原題「さよなら、サクラ」
＊4：複数の竹でできたフリーリードの管楽器。JKT写真はケーンを構えるサマイ。

This 2-track single is a gift from the past, reissuing two rare Thai treasures from the late 1960s, big hits from that time which were actually covers of Japanese songs. Pan-Asian music produced by Surin Paksiri, a legendary presence in the Isan music scene from the 1960s until the present. The first song "Ya Deon Show" was Paksiri's first hit, a Thai-language version of "Soran Bushi", a traditional work song of Hokkaido fishermen, sung here by popular actor Banchop Chaiphra. The song fuses a Luk Thung arrangement with a Japanese "Dodonpa" rhythm. The second singer here is Samai Onwong, a key force in the development of Thai pop music, with "Sakura La Kon (Goodbye Sakura)", sung in both Japanese and Thai. The original was a 1968 hit by Pinky & The Killers and features some fine Khaen playing by Samai, lending a bittersweet Thai feeling. With English lyrics and liner notes, this is a lovely treat, guaranteed to bring a smile and perhaps a tear.

What is 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.

The title says it all: Amazing collection of sounds from the golden age af japanese ambient - which also happens to be the pinnacle of ambient, period! Only disappointment: This is only samples of the original full, two-disc record, but worthwhile none the less. polinos
