Back circa 1990, Khmer bands seemed to all play Thai songs. There was a beer hall in a large stilt house over the river near the Chaktomok theater that had twin Khmer girls singing tons of Thai pop hits from that era...they had not quite rediscovered the older Khmer classics yet.
Generator smoking out the place, pancake makeup on the ladies in taffeta dresses, Tiger beer that tasted like the can, sweat pouring off the brow as you guzzled the warm, iron flavored swill. Bom ba bom, Bom ba bom, Bom ba bom...the same beat every song. I can still hear it now, like the heartbeat of a culture staggering back to life...trying to rediscover itself.

Been cycling Isaan/ Issan land for the last few weeks, stayed at a hotel in Si Sa Ket that had Queen, Who, Beatles, Stones memorabilia on the walls. In Ubon at the moment and my coffee shop tunes into a radio station that plays blues n Rn B, lovely tunes first thing in the morning . A lot of the men look like extras from that Sugarman movie.

One of my better friends here is a tax official who is also a musician, I drink with him a few times a week. He loves Santana, the Eagles, and a lot of local tunes. He's old enough to remember the 70s too and was involved in the National Salvation Front, speaks fluent Vietnamese yet remains close friends with a huge crowd who have an inherent distrust of people who can do that. Older people here remember music from those eras, even if they don't always remember the titles. Western music was prohibited during the Pol Pot era, and strongly discouraged during the subsequent PRK. So from 1975 till around 1989 little if any new foreign music was heard in Kampuchea. No Punk, no Disco, no BeeGees, no GREASE, no Duran Duran, no FRANKIE, etc.
Cambodians ever got to hear this till more than ten years later:
