During student and people uprisings of October 14, 1973 and October 6, 1976, mor lam music was constantly used by students and mixed with “music-for-life,” as heard, for example, in the song “Zerng-Isaan”(เซิ้งอีสาน). Student protesters in Bangkok were specifically targeted by the government, to set an example for the rest of the country. They were accused of possessing weapons and of being communists, and then massacred on these charges directly on campus.
