Bochan Talks Neo-Cambodian Musical Movement and Family
Manage episode 347743161 series 3376535
Bochan grew up singing in her father’s Cambodian American bands. From roots in rock to its current inception, the evolution that Bochan witnessed and joined is audible today in the ardent Cambodian music circuit. Honoring yet stepping bravely away from traditional style, she ushers in a new musical age. Her single “Chnam Oun 16” (or, “I am 16”), featuring Raashan Ahmad from Crown City Rockers, shakes up convention by remaking the classic Cambodian rock anthem about women coming of age. The new version retains textures and tones of the original Farfisa organ, while the lyrics alternate between English and Khmer.
