Busking for the old folks

Believe Record’s acoustic-pop artist Singto Numchok, who shot to stardom with the hits “Yoo Tor Loei Dai Mai” and “Yoo Yang Ngao Ngao”, adds his voice and musical talent to “Ai” (“Shy”), a track on Music Reunion’s special album “Jamjan Project”.

Singto recently headed to the recently relocated Talat Rot Fai (Train market) on Srinakarin to shoot Pisut Mahapan’s music video, playing up to the cameras as a busker in front of fans of all ages. Proceeds from the street performance came to Bt10,000 including the singer’s own Bt700 donation and were presented to an official of Bangkhae Home.

“First of all, my thanks to all my fans for their faithful support. I find it unbelievable that my fan club includes both kids and the elderly,” Singto said. “This song, written by Teerapak ‘Ten’ Maneechot, can be found on the special album featuring many artists. After finishing the recording, we wanted to do something that would show social responsibility and match the lyrics about love.

“We thought it would be fun to have me busk in the park and pass the hat round. The money raised went to Bangkhae Home for the elderly. We had actor Arthur Benjakul holding the donation box, which was yet another attraction.
