A rare chance to hear music with roots in the Angkorean Period (9th-15th centuries) when Angkor was the capitol of the Khmer Empire. Some of the music originates from the region around Angkor; some is from Phnom Penh, where the royal courts were moved after the fall of Angkor to the Thais in 1431. Royal court music, ritual and religious music, folk music and native Khmer pop and classical music are presented in this extraordinary triple CD set |

Craen, music played while the Memut calls the spirit causing illness from a person's body, from the second volume of this fascinating series that features the royal court music of the ancient Khmer Empire. Recorded in 1993 in Phnom Penh, the music retains the dignity and refinement of the ancient city. The survival of this regal music is a testimony to the strength of Cambodian culture |

| Review |
Ta Uk (Uncle Uk), a comic song about a hapless gambler and his long-suffering wife sung by Lok Om Prach Chhuon, Cambodia's most popular folk singer from Vol. 3 of this unusual series. Marvelous performances by the few master musicians who survived the Khmer Rouge massacres on rare and elegant instruments like the kse diev, an monochord made from a gourd and uses the performer's chest as a resonator, considered one of the oldest of all Khmer instruments |
