Under the stable reign of Prince Sihanouk, the development of the arts was strongly encouraged in Cambodia during the early 1960s. From this progressive social environment emerged an exuberent style of rock and roll that few outsiders know about. A vibrant youth culture took western rock, infused it with Afro-Cuban rhythms, and the melodious and hypnotic qualities of their own traditional music in order to create a sound that captured the passions of the nation. This flourishing culture met an explosive and violent end as Cambodia was sucked into the Vietnam conflict. The American blanket bombing of the country gave rise to a bitter civil war that saw the Khmer Rouge gain control of the country and embark upon a genocidal reign. (London Film Festival)
