Episode 25: Ensemble Si Nuan Thung Pong.
A summery broadcast of almost uninterrupted music by the Ensemble Si Nuan Thung Pong from Northern Thailand or Lanna. With its improvised texts and reed instruments which support and drive the singers with their sound tapestry, the music of the Saw genre is characteristic for this region. The highlight and most popular are the male-female duets in which the singers try to challenge and outdo one another.
