The way pre-Khmer rouge Phnom Penh khmers speak is so soft and elegant. Unlike the khmers nowadays in or outside Cambodia, sounds like a screeching chalkboard.

its really hard to believe that these dance forms were close to extinction 4- 8 years later.

Very intimate and constructive interview/doc. I was 6 then and so keen with this dance but I was a boy.LOL Thanks for sharing.
@angkorpisey Both of my parents were survivors of the Killing Fields. What Ichan90a and me meant was that 4-8 years after the video (which I am assuming is from 1971) that is when the art almost disappeared, not 4-8 years ago.

@trickystyle Oh yes I do know this terrible history. My family lost alot of members. But It was during 1975-79, not 4-8 years ago or a few years ago like you said. That is why didn't understand well.

@angkorpisey uhm do you not know khmer history? just a few years later the khmer rouge took over and killed everyone including dancers and musicians. dance was prohibited and seen as upper class. the khmer rouge wanted to wipe out artisans, musicians, dancers, and religion. come on please don't tell me you don't know about the killing fields.
