Bleep

EM Records present an utterly beguiling retrospective as part of their Thai music series. In conjunction with Paradise Bangkok and Soi 48, they have put together Kon Kee Lang Kwai, a collection of songs from unsung 1970s legend Dao Bandon. Bandon, who was born into a poor family in a farming region and became a monk in his teens, sings with great fervour of sex, love, drugs and poverty in the luk thung genre of Thai pop. Not just for fans of "world" music, this should appeal to anyone with a taste for 70s groove.
