Je Te Quitterai

• Track Listing

Between surf music and ballad, this record rediscovers the effervescent Khmer musical scene of the 1960s. In 1959, in the midst of artistic turmoil, Mol Kamach and his brothers created a band: the Baksey Cham Krong. Kagnol got his guitar inspiration from the Ventures and the Shadows while Kamach admired the vocal techniques of crooners such as Paul Anka, singing in either French or Khmer. In 1975, Khmers Rouge stopped musical development. This reissue brings back the Cambodian musical scene of the 1960s.
