Example artist profileRead profile
Sueng and pi jum bring plucked strings and sustained reed tones together in northern Thai ensemble music.
Instruments & traditions
The sueng’s plucked attack and the pi jum’s sustained tone give each part a distinct shape. The ensemble brings those parts into conversation.
