Sorapet Pinyoo and the status ofpleeng luuk tung

Abstract

Before 1997 a number of social, political and academic movements combined to present a more negative image ofluuk tung(Thai country music) than was warranted and as a result, the genre was understudied. This article identifies the forces that influenced the development ofluuk tung'sstatus in Thai society and demonstrates how the rising status ofluuk tungsince 1997 has influenced recent academic writing by Thai authors. This survey of the voices that speak onluuk tungis grounded by an analysis of the lyrics and melodies of Sorapet Pinyoo, a well-knownluuk tungartist.
