BANTEAY AMPIL BAND - CD CAMBODIAN LIBERATION SONGS

Popis - CAMBODIAN LIBERATION SONGS:
Originally released in 1983 and now available as a reissue,
'Cambodian Liberation Songs' is a painful call from forgotten
resistance fighters. The Banteay Ampil Band was founded in the
Ampil refugee camp near the Thai border. The musicians and
female singers, who had hidden their talents during the Khmer
Rouge regime, gathered around composer and violinist Oum Dara
to engage in a new struggle: the resistance. The album binds
together the golden age of Khmer music from the 1960s with the
traditional repertoire and the context of the members' daily
troubles. The band went to Singapore to record 'Cambodian Liberation Songs', the only record of the Khmer People's
National Liberation Front. This expanded reissue includes liner
notes, exclusive photos, a postcard and a download code.
