2 of Cambodia’s most celebrated singers – who both perished in the Khmer Rouge genocide in the 1970s – will be immortalised in a forthcoming musical, entitled “The Golden Voice”.
Veteran boxer Bout Samrech has announced that he is the son of the ‘King of Khmer music’ Sin Sisamouth, who was executed by the Khmer Rouge in 1976
A song by the master of Khmer music, Sin Sisamouth, titled Bid farewell to Bopha to Join the Army, also known as Loyal Wife or If I Were Handicapped, which was lost more than 40 years ago due to the Khmer Rouge regime reemerged last Friday in Australia, discovered by Cambodians living there.
If alive today, Sin Sisamouth, known as the Elvis Presley of Cambodia, would have celebrated his 90th birthday. The immortal singer of Cambodia, whose songs are popular among Khmer people, turned 90 yesterday.
