catalogue# : em1101 lp & cdartist : thonghuad faited title : diew sor isan : the north east thai violin of thonghuad faited media : 12" lp + first release outside of thailand and the first-time ever reissue in worldwide + anthology of the 1970s recordings by legendary number one 'sor warrior' from isan, thailand + collection of heavy, deep & funky molam inst. and some vox tunes + supported by maft sai (zudrangma) and chris menist of paradise bangkok <lp version> + quality pressing + english-japanese liner notes =============================== we are concentrating on the ‘sor’ from thailand, the traditional two-stringed violin that is a mainstay of isan musical culture.  "diew sor isan : the north east thai violin of thonghuad faited" focuses on the talents of one of the instrument’s greatest proponents and brings his key releases together onto one anthology for the first time. thonghuad comes from the ‘molam’ tradition, the dominant rural music that hails from isan, the north east thai province that borders with laos and cambodia. underpinned by woozy basslines, drones and clattering percussion, his music is characterised by sprightly melodies through to haunting dirges that could come from as far a field as eastern china, or even the celtic traditions of ireland.   detailed notes trace his history from humble beginnings to playing up to five gigs a night in bangkok at the peak of his fame. whether it’s playing beautifully crafted solo pieces, or providing a counterpoint for raw vocal work, thonghuad faited is a nationally recognised master of his craft who has additionally cut sides with dozens of established singers over the years, such as waipod petchsupan and angkanang kunchai. percussive, otherworldly and universal, we are proud to present this unique music to the world, much of it released outside of thailand for the first time.
