soundbyte Khmer Republic Radio.wmv

This bit was taped by mistake off the military radio (vittyu samleng yuttachun) one friday night in 1974. The DJ was closing a weekly music program with a political message. The singer is of course Sieng Dy; the photo is by Roland Neveu, capturing events on the 17 April 1975. From my own tapes. សំឡេងក្នុងខ្សែអាត់របស់ខ្ញំុុ ដែលថតដោយអចេតនា នារាត្រីមួយកាលពីចុងឆ្នាំ១៩៧៤​។​

I love history when it comes to these kinds of videos❤

Wow. it is great to hear a voice from this radio broadcasting station again. In fact my sister was one of the news announcers at this Military Radio station from 1970 to 1975. And I used to go there with my sister to see her recording session at Phnom Penh's Radio station before they put it on air. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, sounds so beautiful make me think of my father when he was a soldier and fought bravely against the communist Vietcong in Operation Chenla 1&2.

[@Slim731]

@Sdachnakta18 - i'm so pleased to know that you have found the voice of your brother on my old tape! can you share your memories of your brother and what happened to him in those tragic days? this tape my uncle gave me in late 1974 - he has been taping khmer music from the radio. he was killed by the Khmer Rouge along with his family of 4 a few months after that. God bless you.

[@Slim731]

[@chhmar99utube]

@@Slim731 - unfortunately no. it was one of those segments when the tape recorder was left running unsupervised. i wish i had more!

[@GirlYishi]

I don't know why I keep repeating the voice of the announcer but very sad

[@nimol95]

[@kosal00111]

Man... this announcement sounds so so sad...

[@khmerarmy]

Wow the guy's voice is so cool, so strong, so manly!

[@bov1958]

I am so so so so so sad

[@KhmerRestoration]

Good 👍

[@chhmar99utube]

@SamutSuthea - yes you are quite right.

[@thannchhang]

I wish we can turn back the clock

[@chhmar99utube]

Yes she's great. As you know she was very well known in the 60's, but somehow was not as popular as Ros Sereysothea.

[@cambozip]

it's reflecting what is happening now.... 46 years ago you chose to fight in a vain hope to guard Srok Khmer from the aggression, imperialism of Vietcong. Kon Khmer ought learn why and who did good for the country.

[@TTM9691]

Absolutely incredible piece of history. cchmar, I don't know if you're still around, or if you check these comments, but is there any way I could email you? I am working on a project, and I think you might be able to help me, regarding dates and musicians. If you reply here, I'll give you my email. I really appreciate all of the comments you've made on various videos of Khmer music, I've learned a lot.

[@chhmar99utube]

hello friend. happy to be of any assistance if you email me at [e-mail]

[@chhmar99utube]

yes, or as we khmers used to say "Em sang trey" and "douze sept"
