Mor Lam Sing

Mor lam sing (Thai/Isan หมอลำซิ่ง)is a fast-paced, racy, modernized version of the traditional Lao/Isan song form mor lam. Sing comes from the English word "racing" (a reference to the music's origin among Isan's biker fraternity). A lead singer is accompanied by the khaen, a bamboo mouth organ, Western drums and electric keyboards and bass. The songs are generally about disappointment in love or the hardships of life away from the Northeast of Thailand. Sexual innuendo is prominent, and feature young, fancifully dressed female dancers, called "hang khreuang". Among the most popular mor lam sing artists are the groups Rock Salaeng and Rock Sadert.
