reader Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 From NHK Newsline A video look at the evolving styles of the Morlam music scene at a recent Thai festival. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/videos/20180129205029780/ Quote
steveboy Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 When it comes to music, I stay with Mozart, Beethoven. When it is about folk music and pop music, there are many good choices. Morlam music is totally new to me, and I don't think it will change my favorites, which I would not impose on anyone. Quote
vinapu Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 When it comes to music, I stay with Mozart, Beethoven. I like Silence the best Quote
steveboy Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I like Silence the best I also like silence. No need for background music. When there is sound, it should be either music or speech, both to listen with concentration. Otherwise it's best to listen to one's thoughts. Quote
Vessey Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 It seems to me that all styles of music evolve - even Mozart was considered an innovator by his contemporaries LOL Morlam seems almost universally popular still in Thailand -it gets everyone dancing from grannies to teenagers - and they all seem to know the words to the more popular songs. I have been to a big Morlam show in Pattaya - thousands there - its a huge colourful spectacle. I also regularly go to the little Morlam show, Zab, just in the entrance to Walking Street - I have never found a Thai companion of any gender who didn't have a good time there. reader and DivineMadman 2 Quote
steveboy Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 It seems to me that all styles of music evolve - even Mozart was considered an innovator by his contemporaries LOL Yes. Like Morlam music, even Mozart's music keeps evolving and has and ever had much popular appeal. Here is an example of a bunch of gays in San Francisco listening to a popular song... from Mozart: One slight difference is that while Morlam music makes happy many good Thais, Mozart's music seems to be from out of this world.

steveboy Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Aren't you off-topic posting a picture of yourself in a thread about Morlam, which means expert singing? And all this to continue trolling my posts in your negative ways? Can't you enjoy good music in peace? Quote
reader Posted January 30, 2018 Author Posted January 30, 2018 You're the only troll on this forum, Stevie, so it's gotta be you. Surely you recognize the image. Consult mirror for confirmation. Quote
