PARADISE BANGKOK MOLAM INTERNATIONAL BAND at XO STATE (Music)
February 26, 2017 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT
$25.50 – $30
The concept of Paradise Bangkok was born out of looking for records.
Back in 2009 DJs Maft Sai and Chris Menist pooled together their collection of obscure Reggae, African, Jazz and Thai vinyl to put on the very first Paradise Bangkok party. Thai luk thung and molam, both popular, rural music styles were spun alongside Mulatu, Augustus Pablo, R.D. Burnam and Fela Kuti, and the duo ended up playing in Japan, Vietnam, Germany, London, Switzerland, Austria and France. They also co-compiled the two volumes of Sound of Siam for Soundway, as well as Thai? Dai! for Finders Keepers.
The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band came out of these sessions and they made their live debut in the Thai capital in 2012. Drawn from different music scenes in Bangkok, the band consists of Kammao Perdtanon on phin (Thai lute), Sawai Kaewsombat on khaen, a type of bamboo harmonica, Piyanart Jotikasthira on bass, Phusana Treeburut on drums and Maft Sai and Chris Menist on percussion.
