So uncanny to think that all these names and their numbers were once people(especially people who created joy). It causes one to grieve but it also causes one to accept that this is just how life is. Life and death is that, what is gone once is gone forever, and forever more. But their contributions are eternal, and that we can find solace in the fact that they did something good with their lives to create joy from generations to come!
Very soon the humankind will die out. After some time the aliens will find our planet and come here to excavate the remnants. They will examine all the music stored on recordings but out of all music recordings they will absolutely enjoy only this one and will be listening to it on their way back,and thinking "if they could be that funky and groovy, why did they disappear?"

I always just assumed that most of this music was from before the Khmer Rouge. The fact that most of it actually comes very soon after it happened changes my perspective.
most western meme-makers probably think these "funky and funny-sounding" Khmer songs would go well with Pol Pot memes as both are from the 70s and the songs have a vintage, 'country' Khmer aesthetic. These songs are in fact from the late 60s and early to mid 70s, just before the Khmer Rogue era. During that era, 90% of the singers and the songs including master files were eradicated by the regime. :(
I've been looking for track #4 by Meas Samon for a good while, so thanks for the updated track list that I assume was from the re-release a while back? Can't find the list for that release online until today. Shame track #7 is still unknown! That was my favourite from the entire album.
"Khmer rogue music" because of the memes, but 'Srey Noe' and "Sat Tee Touy' have nothing to do with Khmer Rogue, Srey Noe about a girl named Noe, and Sat Tee Touy are about animals with drugs and alcohol
@@jfg05 sat tee touy is about animals smoking weed, great song. Srey noe was actually used as rouge propaganda from what i remember, not completely sure though - not original intent though.
As far as I know Sat Tee Touy is the name more commonly used with the Khmer or Northern Khmer(Khmer Surin) version of the song and Ye Hua Dam for the Thai version, I am not sure about this since there is little information available about the song; both composer/singer and date seems to be mostly unknown and different sources has presented different informations, some source even said that the singer for both the Khmer and Thai version is the same person, but from what I found a Thai-Khmer singer from southern part of eastern Thailand(which borders the northern part of Cambodia) named Darkie Guntrimrok[(or Guntrimmarok, I can’t figure out how to read his name even as a native Thai but the first one seems more likely) in Thai ดาร์กี้ กันตรึมร็อค, his name is actually pronounced as “Dakie” because ์ makes a sound silent and here it is placed above ร which is close to the R sound but in English R is there in to indicate long vowel] seems to be the singer of the Thai version, that is what I found so far. As for the meaning of the song’s name, I don’t speak or read Khmer so I will only do the Thai part, Ye[or Yae(แย้)] means butterfly lizards(we Thais sometimes use Yae as a slang for dragons or sometimes reptiles in general), Hua(หัว) means head, and Dam[or Dum(ดำ)] means black, so Ye Hua Dam mean black head butterfly lizards and I assume it is the same in Khmer, again I don’t speak or read Khmer but that could be possible since Thai and Khmer shares many loan words, and I assume Sat Tee Touy means look at the owl in Khmer but I am still not sure about that since the word for “look at the owl” in Thai sounds completely different from that and despite the loan word some words are still drastically different. Hope this helps and I will always welcome someone to correct me.
This is music made before even the khmer rouge captured Phnom Penh Early 60s to 1980 this songs in the Cambodian cassette archives aren't about Pol Pot Nor the khmer rouge Sat Thee Tuy (Look At The owl) isn't also even about the Khmer rouge its about animals getting high on marijuana
@@jepord_thegreat its just a meme, though a good chunk of them unironically believe that this music was born out of the khmer rouge regime, its brainrot.

12:00 The best song of all time. 60s Khmer music was the best thing ever made
I always just assumed that most of this music was from before the Khmer Rouge. The fact that most of it actually comes very soon after it happened changes my perspective.
More so that recordings were recovered just after it ended. These are almost all pre-Rouge musicians. Many of whom were killed during the Genocide
These are mostly unreleased songs or covers of those songs
@@ishanshah7521 look at the owl is from the 80s
24:35 my fav ♥️... Probably the best one ...😊
Same
It's sad to know that many of old khmer songs were destroyed by the Khmer Rouge
😢what a lost of culture
I don't know why but I can't stop to listen to this álbum. Thanks for sharing.
Strange feelling of nostalgia
Rivers of Ganzberg flowing in to my mouth listening this joy!
the variety of the music here is very nice
It's really frustrating that this is called Vol.1 and I can't find other volumes. I'm guessing they don't exist
Without having managed to find vol.2, I recommend the other albums of Sublime Frequencies specialized in cambodia, there are very similar style songs
Don't buy music unless financial benefits goes to their family.
What a pity that I cannot share this album with anyone, and if I do, my family and friends will not understand me.
Why wouldn’t they? Have you tried? They may surprise you by enjoying it too.
Um forte abraço para o Camboja em fúria
រក្សាទុក
Essas músicas são muito boas!
0:17:20 sounds like an instrumental cover of "His Name Is King"
52:33 is so catchy
អរគុណបង
I upload an Esperanto version of Look At The Owl in my channel, unfortunately I'm not so good at singing.
46:18
The "anonymous" one are the best, anyone knows were the tracks come feom?
💚💚💚00:48:32 mesmerizing

These were the peak of cambodia
Yes, I like k-pop (khmer pop)
Goes hard🔥💯💪

Great music
Can anyone tell me what these songs have to do with the Khmer Rouge and why they were used to accompany the picture of Pol Pot?

the track 7 is called intro but the artist is unknown, you can find it by searching Intro - Cambodian Soul Sounds

K-pop? Nah, Khmer pop
The lyrics of some of this album are available?
Pol pot was a misunderstood guy
