This song is used in Thai culture for a “circle dance”. The dance follows the tempo of the song which has a slow to medium rhythm. The instruments being played consist of a flute, a fiddle, and a Khaen. The Khaen is the main instrument being played and moves the rhythm along. It is the according-sounding instrument you hear. This song has one male vocalist with a higher range of his voice. The song also includes these little chimes which are played by a bell which is common in Thai culture to keep the beat of the song. This song is very upbeat and is played at many cultural celebrations like weddings.
I chose this song because I like the uniqueness of the instruments and enjoyed the unique mix of sounds coming together to make a melody. In addition, I also like how the song is used to being people together to dance and express their cultural traditions.
