Time Out says

Born in Isan and shaped by stories passed mouth to mouth, the sound carries memory, humour and grit. The khaen sighs, voices stretch and the groove settles somewhere between ritual and release. You dance because it feels natural, you sing because everyone else does. Molam to the World brings that spirit to Bangkok Island with a sense of curiosity rather than spectacle. Traditional forms brush against contemporary rhythms and global accents without losing their accent. The Thai phin chats with an Indian sitar, African djembe drums add warmth and everything stays grounded in local flavour. Borders blur gently. What remains is identity, shared and slightly reimagined, for one long, generous evening.
