Asia Insight Season 7 The Amazing Electric Phin - Thailand 2018
0/10 by 0 users
The electric phin -- a modern adaption of a traditional stringed instrument -- is an essential part of any festivity in the villages of northeast Thailand. Inspired by the introduction of American music during the Vietnam War, electric phin bands offer a unique -- some say psychedelic -- take on folk culture. We look at the history of the instrument, and the pioneering musicians who hooked up a song-and-dance revolution.
