Unknown singer, unknown title...this is track #15 from the album Cambodian Cassette Archives, Khmer Folk and Pop Music Vol. 1. From the liner notes:
This collection was culled from over 150 ravaged cassettes found in Oakland, California at the public library's Asian branch. Many of the tracks were recorded post Pol Pot holocaust between the 1970s and 1990s in Khmer-operated studios spread throughout the geography of the diaspora - from Cambodia to Thailand.
It's a wonderful collection. This tune has so many of the elements I like from this era of Cambodian music: fuzz guitar, reverb vocals, lo-fi production. Wish I knew more about it. It rocks. Great wild guitar solos after 2:00. Amazing.
