LUK THUNG SONGS ECHOING FROM THE MEKONG RIVER BASIN | Spirit of Asia

Описание: During the early days of Luk Thung songs airing on television, there were criticisms concerning content that was considered “to be inappropriate”. The Luk Thung culture focused on provincial village ways of life and seemingly outdated ways of dressing. These television images portrayed people communicating in accents that were “clearly different” from the old Bangkok style of singing. These aspects formed the reasons as to why Luk Thung people, “especially during the early periods”, had some difficulty being accepted by urban society. But as time passed, Luk Thung songs won the hearts of the public, precisely due to these differently presented elements that were previously seen as being inappropriate. Luk toong became a major platform for experimentation, in a way that no style of music had ever accomplished before. In the early days, Luk Thung songs of the Chao Phraya River Basin topped the charts of popularity in the media. But with the changing of social, economic and technological trends, Luk Thung songs “with accents from Isan and the South” acquired a much more influential role, to the point of resembling a forest surrounding the city. They accomplished a significantly greater level of popularity than the Luk Thung of the Central Region. These Luk Thung songs from outside the central zone then traveled to neighboring countries, echoing a spirit expanding “beyond border and barrier”.
