♬ Kratae / กระแต

♬ The Moon Departs the Sky / จันทร์จากฟ้า

Kabuan Mukda / ขบวน มุกดา – not to be confused with his adoptive father and manager Payong Mukda – was from Thailand.

The first track Kratae / กระแต may sound familiar. It’s a version of the first song of the Thai Beat A Go Go compilation which you can hear here. The second song – The Moon Departs the Sky / จันทร์จากพ่า – was originally written by Phranbun / พรานบูรพ์ and recorded by Phensi Phumchusi / เพ็ญศรี พุ่มชูศรี. You can here it here.

Many thanks to the amazing Peter Doolan of Monrakplenthai for translation and for the information about this record. You can find more more information about and recordings by Kabuan Mukda over at Monrakplenthai here.

Catalog number MLK – 739 on Metro Records of Bangkok, Thailand. No release date listed.
