Saw them at Otres. Meh.
My Khmer friends also said she does not sing that good. Like a strangled cat.
I honestly don't understand the hype.

Anyhoo. Isn't that why everyone gets drunk?

Here's a clip of Srey Thy with her new band Channthy Cha Cha, playing at Le Bistrot de l'Institut francais last Saturday, 13th May.

Yet they love that toad faced singer Preap Savat. He strains notes like a kid in puberty. Awful.YaTingPom wrote:Saw them at Otres. Meh.

I seem to recall seeing them on a boat trip when they first started. They knew like three songs at the time. Last time I saw them was at Exchange a couple years back on Valentine's Day. Not bad, lots of energy.LexusSchmexus wrote:Yeah I saw them at Alley Cat in 2009 and wasn't too impressed. Sure it was fine in a garage band kind of way as there wasn't much of a live music scene, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to call her a Diva. Most Khmer have never heard of the band.

Saw them a few times, thought they were pretty good compared to other groups around at the time. The artwork was also interesting. The song and video 'Mondulkiri' got me. How can you not feel happy for someone living their dream? She's travelled the world doing what she loves.

I guess most Khmers are more accustomed to Him Sivorn, Khat Sokhim, Preap Sovath, Nob Bayarith and other Eva Tina and pop singers factory products. They prefer more pure, classical voices.
I like Chanthy's slightly coarse, rural voice, especially in the song Whisky Cambodia.
