Mor Lam is a traditional Lao form of song in Laos and Isan (northeast Thailand). It is sometimes compared to American country music, song usually revolve around unrequited love, mor lam and the complexities of rural life. Mor Lam shows are an important part of festivals and fairs in rural Thailand. Mor lam has become very popular in Isan migrant communities in Bangkok. Once performed by bands and singers, live performances are now spectacles, involving several singers, a dance troupe and comedians. The dancers (or hang khreuang) in particular often wear fancy costumes, and singers go through several costume changes in the course of a performance. Prathom Bunteung Silp is one of the best known Mor Lam troupes in Thailand with more than 250 performers and a total crew of almost 300 people. The troupe has been performing for more 55 years.
