The Amazing Electric Phin - Thailand (7x16)


Exibido em:: Jun 08, 2018

The electric phin -- a modern adaption of a traditional stringed instrument -- is an essential part of any festivity in the villages of northeast Thailand.

We look at the history of the instrument, and the pioneering musicians who hooked up a song-and-dance revolution.
