Jintara Poonlarp is a well-known Lukthung (or Luktung) singer, and she happens to be the first Thai singer whose name sort of stuck with me when I made my first visit to Thailand in early 2003. It was all because of the music video Faen Ja that kept appearing on Thai music stations — the song amazed me. I was fortunate to acquire either a VCD or DVD that contained that song, and I brought it back here to Canada.
But I brought up Jintara because of a rather nice blog post concerning her that I came across today located on a site called Thai Guide To Thailand.
I’d read that due to the popularity of the Lukthung style of music, there was even a radio station devoted to it. I didn’t realize, however, that it has an online presence — it’s one of the stations offered here – FM 95.0.
Unfortunately, it’s not functioning for me. Perhaps that’s due to the time difference, though — the station may shut down overnight for a period.
I did find some songs by another LukThung songstress named Takkatan Chonlada at this site.
My searching has turned up another location for a Luktung radio station that is actually playing for me — I suspect that it’s the same FM 95.0 I couldn’t get to play on the first site. If you want to try this one, go here. It’s currently the third station down in the centre column — yes, there are quite a few stations listed on this site! A caution, however: I recommend only clicking on the Windows Media Player icon, and not on the link that is the name of the station. When I clicked on the station link, I got a warning that it was an attack site.
Something else I have read about this singing style is that some practitioners are extremely adept at yodeling. I have never heard an example of that particular talent until today. If it’s new to you, then by all means, check out this video.
I don’t know who these gents are, but I sure do bet that I’d enjoy being at a concert of theirs somewhere in Thailand, and enjoying a few drinks along with their unique song stylings and talented instrumentals!
