Teaching traditional music in Cambodia

James, KyleAugust 8, 2012

An estimated 90 percent of artist were killed during the regime of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970s. Although the Khmer Rouge were driven from power in 1979, their brutal attack on the arts can be felt to this day. Because master artists were killed, some traditional art forms were lost or are on the verge of extinction. A group in Pnom Penhi is trying to revive ancient traditions.
