The Tamarind Singer
22 mins
Kam is 11 years old. She lives along the river in the slums of Klong Toey with her father, mother, and big brother. Her mother is a local hairdresser and her father works for the local municipality when he can. Kam’s house has always been filled with music. Her father often plays the guitar, and Kam loves to sing along. Her dream is to become a famous pop singer and perform in front of a big audience. Kam’s talent and love of singing is noticed by the local music school. Kam is a bit shy and she is nervous about singing at a local concert. To give Kam courage, her schoolteacher gives her tickets to a concert with her favorite pop star. And she even gets to meet her backstage. With advice from the famous pop singer and with support from her best friend next door, she finds the courage to sing at the local concert.
