Bong ros pros oun by Sin Sisamouth
It should come as no great surprise that pre-war Cambodia produced such great female singers and vocalists such as Ms Ros Serey Sothea [her name should translate as 'live free and pure', or something to that effect!] Ms Huy Meas [more of her songs to come . . . ] Ms So Savoeun and many, many more whom I am, alas still discovering! Foreign reporters who had visited the country both before the war in the seventies and during the years immediately following that conflict have noted a change in the behaviour among Khmer women at large: before the war the women, young and old, would constantly sing or hum a favourite tune as they went about their daily rituals; after the war, however, they stopped singing . . .
Ms Ros Sereysothea's unique vocal appears to make her peerless among even her great contemporaries. She could sing all the 'modern' popular songs as well as 'traditional' or folk classics such as wedding songs in which the listener would marvel at the intensity of her vocals as they stretch, ebb, rise and peak without straining or breaking. This awesome vocalic heritage was one of the reasons why School of Vice gave up those music classes very early on . . . But to be fair, School of Vice could at least play the 'Tror Khmer' instrument quite well at one time, but not the one with three strings as mentioned in the song below!
