Cambodian Rock
April 8th, 2008 Linda Saphan
I am now working on the documentary film directed by John Pirozzi (www.johnpirozzi.com) “Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten”.
“During the 60′s and early 70′s, as the war in Vietnam threatened its borders, a new music scene emerged in Cambodia that took Western rock and roll and stood it on its head-creating a sound like no other. This documentary film, “Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten,” provides a new perspective on a country usually associated with war and genocide. By celebrating this powerful music, and the people who created it, Cambodia’s musical heyday emerges from the shadows of tragedy into the light of history.”
