Thai Country Music
Thai Country Music, also known as Mor Lam, is a popular genre in Thailand, particularly in the northeastern region known as Isan. It blends traditional folk music with modern influences, often featuring instruments like the khene, a bamboo mouth organ, and the phin, a stringed instrument. The lyrics typically reflect rural life, love, and social issues.
The genre has gained popularity beyond Thailand, with artists like Jintara Poonlarp and Sornram Techanarong leading the way. Mor Lam performances are often lively, incorporating dance and storytelling, making them a vibrant part of Thai culture and entertainment.
