Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band out of Thailand

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/dec/04/the-paradise-bangkok-molam-international-band-21st-century-molam-review

< The DJ team of Maft Sai and Chris Menist are best known for reviving the pop music of Thailand from the 60s and 70s, through their much-praised compilation sets for the Soundway label, The Sound of Siam. The second such release concentrated on the pulsating molam music from the north-east of the country, and now they have updated the style with a new band featuring Chris Menist on percussion, along with two impressive instrumentalists, Kammao Perdtanon playing the traditional phin lute and the veteran Sawai Kaewsombat on the khaen (which is like a large harmonica constructed from bamboo pipes). They are backed by bass and drums, for a rousing debut album that mixes traditional Thai styles with echoes of folk-rock, blues and dub. There are passages of driving, hypnotic improvisation backed by sturdy western bass riffs, but the finest tracks are those recorded without the rhythm section. >
