Artist
Khwanchit Siprachan (Thai: ขวัญจิต ศรีประจันต์) is a Thai luk thung folk singer. Khwanchit was born in August 3, 1947 in central Thailand's Suphan Buri province. From a young age she took an interest in local folk song, but her father forbid her to pursue it, fearing the corrupting influence of the stage (as well as the prospect of losing a domestic hand!). Nevertheless, she eventually left home to study with the great pleng isaeo songmasters of Suphan, becoming a respected artist in the folk song community for her powerful voice and clever improvisations. She was a favorite of the audience upcountry, and in time even became a regular on the stage of Sanam Luang in Bangkok. Here she was courted by many luk thung groups, but found Waiphot Phetsuphan's to be most consonant with her love of folksong. She joined the group and quickly set to recording a string of hits. By the early seventies, however, she had left luk thung behind. She returned to the folk songs she loved so much, as both performer and preservationist, and eventually was named a national artist for her contributions to the artform.
