Neung Phak (pronounced: NOONG PAHK) is the alter ego
of the long-time Bay Area group Mono Pause, who in this
incarnation, play a wide range of South East Asian music
inspired by cassette tapes, LPs and radio broadcasts received
on their travels. Since 2001, Neung Phak have performed
and recorded inspired renditions of Thai and Laotian "Isan"
country Molam, infectious Thai rock and pop, Vietnamese and
Cambodian songs of years past and even North Korean political
anthems. Armed with traditional and electric instruments and
sometimes featuring singer Diana Hayes along with special guests, Neung
Phak delivers a concoction of international sounds that trade the
gloss and sheen of so-called World Music for the energy and
unpredictability you might actually find if you were somewhere else!
