Introduction to Cambodian Music Icons

Are you ready to dive into the amazing world of Cambodian music? If so, you’re in for a treat! Today, we’re going to explore one of the rarest and most fascinating CDs ever produced in Cambodia: ‘Angry for Love’ by Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea.

The Legendary Singers

Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea are two of the most iconic and beloved singers in Cambodian history. They rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s, during the golden age of Cambodian pop music. Their songs blended traditional Khmer melodies with influences from rock, soul, Latin, and French music, covering themes of love, happiness, and sadness.

The Impact of Khmer Rouge

Unfortunately, their lives and careers were cut short by the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, which killed millions of Cambodians and destroyed most of the country’s cultural heritage. Many of their recordings were lost or destroyed, and only a few survived the horrors of the genocide.

Unveiling ‘Angry for Love’

That’s why ‘Angry for Love’ is such a precious and rare CD. It features 14 songs by Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea, some of which are very hard to find elsewhere. The CD was released by Chlangden Production, a label that specializes in preserving and restoring old Cambodian music.

Exploring the Tracks

The songs on this CD are a mix of slow and upbeat tracks, all revolving around themes of love and heartbreak.
