this week, more fantastic lam from ms. monruedi phromchak! i don't know alot about monruedi's background, though i believe she's currently a lecturer for the office of culture at khon kaen university. she's well known for her skill in lam phu tai, a unique style of lam associated with the phu tai ethnic group of thailand & laos, which can be pretty difficult to find in commercial recordings. this album is made up primarily of lam tang wai, but also features a few lam phu thai and a couple of the more mainstream lam phloen. the recordings here are more electronic than the previous album of her's i've posted, adding a drum machine over the traditional cymbal clashing and sax & keyboard over the khaen & phin. enjoy!!

That dratted drum machine drives me nuts, but the underlying songs are so great that I'll cope ;-) Thank you, Peter!

glad you like it, holly! sometimes those machines can wreck it for me too, but they hardly manage to distract on this one!

She's got a hell of a voice on her. Great album (don't mind the drum machine either).
