...FROM ISAN' - Double LP reissue of the long out of print classic CD, first released in 2004. The first modern electrified Molam recordings from the 1970's ever presented outside Thailand. The classic recordings featured here are selections from rare vinyl LPs, 45s & cassettes recorded in Isan & beyond between the 70s & 80s. Molam literally translates into 'master singer', but it remains more of an umbrella term covering over a dozen types of lam styles in which male & female singers can be backed by a free-reed bamboo mouth organ called a khaen, indigenous lute-like instruments. Tracks include ""Chiwit Sao Molam (Life Of A Molam Woman)" by Kwanjai Kalasin Yuk Patana, "Ruk Mai Somwong (Broken Heart-So Let's Dance)" by Sabaithong Powpuri, "Pua Mao Mea Mao (Husband Drunk, Wife Drunk)" by Unknown, "Lam Phun Eun Sai (I Call For You)" by Tome Me Malai and lots more. 17 tracks in all.
