Music is a funny thing in that it can be both beautiful and it can be sad at the same time, both in the composition and the story the song tells, as well as the history and stories behind the music. Rock and Roll was a genre of music that spread like wildfire and captured the minds of young people all over the world. One place many people wouldn't think about the impact of rock music is in Southeast Asia. Because of the American military presence in South Vietnam, radio transmissions playing rock music spread to nearby countries and inspired the musicians in what is now Laos and Cambodia. One artist in particular was Ros Serey Sothea, who was considered the Queen of Cambodian rock music and was one of many popular musicians in the then new Republic of Cambodia. People were enjoying the newfound freedoms that they were experiencing after being free of French rule and the music that came from that freedom. That sadly wouldn't last for long and would come crashing down on April 17th, 1975 when the Khmer Rouge toppled the democratic government seated in Phnom Penh. Led by a group of radical ideologues hell bent on removing any and all foreign influence from Cambodia, many artists from the Cambodian rock scene, including Serey Sothea, were disappeared during Pol Pot's reign of terror and original negatives of their music destroyed. Despite the Khmer Rouge's best attempts, however, the music of Cambodia's rock scene survived and is still played in Cambodia today, even if the influential people who made it sadly aren't alive. Music from that time period has since found it, with the blessing of the families of these artists, getting sampled and being introduced to new people. The most famous being a DJ by the name of Rob Viktum who sampled the first song I posted of Serey Sothea's, which translates to Sad Child, and used it in a song titled "4/17/1975".

Back Off Boogaloo

"Spirits of Ancient Egypt," hmm? Now there's a deep cut. Venus and Mars (1975)

remains a favorite, and it seems to be one of yours, too,







Ringo's "Back Off Bugaloo" (1972) has inspired interesting interpretations, whatever the truth may be. Note Harrison's involvement,

In the same vein, and with little interpretation necessary, from Lennon's Imagine (1971); Harrison contributes stinging slide guitar,
