The sweet and exotic sound of Northern Thai music presented in a contemporary style by the group Changsaton makes it an easier and better way to appreciate the Lanna Thai and other Asian music. Changsaton inovatively uses Northern Thai musical instruments to combine with other Asian instruments in creating the brilliant contemporary Lanna Thai music which everyone can enjoy and appreciate. The production of each of Changsaton’s albums have been “limited editions” and are much sought after by their fans while their annual concerts in Chiang Mai have always been huge successes. The Changsaton Musical troupe is not only being appreciated by their Thai music lovers but has also impressed foreign audiences as this avant-garde ensemble has been invited to perform at Toulouse and Paris in France and also in Tokyo, as well as some other major cities in Japan.
Since their birth in 1995 till the present days, the band’s spirits have soared.
