Second volume of late 50s and early 60s Cambodian slow rock, pop and R&B tracks from the late 1950s onwards a music scene developed around Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh, inspired by the prevalence of imported rock & pop records arriving in the country from US & UK and also chanson and bolero records from France & Latin America. This collection documents some of these early home-grown slow rock, pop & rnb 45 recordings from the early 60s, prior to the further embrace of US psych & garage rock-orientated sounds in the mid 60s and into the Vietnam war era. ‘Wounds of Love: Khmer Oldies, Vol. 2’ is out now on Death Is Not The End.
