A Deep Dive Into Thailand’s Country Music Scene
Have you ever heard of Thai country music? No? Buckle upand tune in to some luk thung.
Generally speaking, there are two main types of country music in Thailand: mor lam (หมอลำ) and luk thung (ลูกทุ่ง).
On the one hand, pleng luk thung, meaning “song of the child of the field” and often abbreviated to luk thung (“child of the field”), emerged in the second half of the 20th century. Much like US country and blues music, the songs voice the day-to-day life and struggles of the downtrodden and poor. The tempo is relaxed and vocalists use an exaggerated vibrato singing style.
On the other hand, mor lam originated in Laos and was brought over by migrant workers in Thailand during the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a faster tempo and is generally sung in Lao rather than Thai. Typically, mor lam music includes instruments such as the khaen (bamboo mouth organ), nimp (3-string lute), ching (bells), and the pan flute.
Nowadays the two genres are increasingly indistinguishable. Luk thung and mor lam music is popular with all demographics, and encompass global sounds and trends.
