THE PARADISE BANGKOK MOLAM INTERNATIONAL BAND

BangkokWebWe are proud to reveal today that we have made yet another extremely exciting booking for this summer’s coolest festival weekend: Clandestino Botnik July 27-28.

Paradise Bangkok is a club in Thailand’s capital driven by Maft Sai and Chris Menist – both DJs that found themselves completely obsessed with old scratchy vinyl records from the 60’s and 70’s Thai music scene (listen to compilation disc Sound of Siam for a good introduction to this hyper-exciting music era in between traditional village music and American pop, which was imported to the region via the Vietnam War). Sai and Menist also run a record label for re-editions and they stand behind the Thai super group “The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band”.

It is a unique band that was brought together to recreate the old molam-music with modern vibes. The result is a sound unlike anything you’ve heard, and at the same time an introduction to a long-overlooked albeit unlikely creative musical scene. | Read more
