The Top 10 Most Admirable Musicians of Cambodia

The Cambodian music scene is one of history’s most underappreciated movements. Experiencing its golden age in the 60s and 70s, Cambodian music was an entirely unique blend of traditional music, rock, pop, and psychedelia – to name but a few of the genres from which it drew influence. Abruptly crushed by the murderous regime of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge communists in 1975, many of its musicians were executed or disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The country’s gradual recovery from this traumatic period saw a revival of interest in its musical heyday. Today, Cambodia’s modern-day artists carry on the spirit of their forebears. Influenced and inspired by the rhythm and sounds of decades past, they pay homage to the legends of old while adding something new to the mix. Here, Top 10 of Asia shares its list (presented in no particular order) of the ten most admirable musicians of Cambodia.
