Ranat Thum - Music of Thailand

I'm joined by UCLA's Supeena Adler as I learn a bit about Thai music and ranat thum, a low mallet instrument.

I am impressed by your go-get-it-ness. I like to hole up with the familiar and find it difficult to leave my comfort zone. I remember the Javanese Gamelan performances at UC Riverside... I love the resonance of the ranat thum!

I LOVE gamelan!

Hello.. maybe one day, can you please to " Clube da Esquina" is amazing. Thanks

[@lauracaruso2524]

Beautiful sound. Thank you for introducing this instrument to us. (As an aside, I don't believe Thailand was ever colonized. I think Thailand means "land of the free". Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Thank you! You're right about colonization. One of the only countries in that part of the world that was not. I should have said Western influence.
