This is still my favourite performance. Both of them are so good, she's so beautiful, and the dance is so lovely. The music too... love these traditional singing so much...
@Extacy2009 khmer is originally is influenced by india we've been trading with them for centuries ..are architectures are from them, are beliefs are from them...the silk and jewelery we use are similar to theres... so yes the music may sound indian but its a damn sure its not from thai..khmer music beats are together ... thais beats isnt so much together...i love thai im half but it bothers me when people say thais this thais that when 95% of the temples has khmer writings on it ..
actually bong Sport2006..I've seen some Macha's tail that does look like a fish tail but I personally like this one because it goes well with the costume and the dance movements. It looks more royal and golden I guess...lol
Maybe you can look at the khmer spelling of the word, you can identify the element of the word which would help you identify if it's sanskrit/pali/or borrowed thai words, suradani should look at the thai spelling too, it might help... just a sugestion :)
