Music from a lost age (Cambodia)

It is fun exploring dilapidated buildings and discovering hidden venues with sharp kids and music from a lost age - the 1960s and 1970s Cambodian rock genre.

Ros Sreysothea was one of the stars of that era. Sadly, many of the singers from that time disappeared or died during the Khmer Rouge regime. It’s nice that people still remember them today.
