WINNER OF JUST PLAIN FOLKS BEST ETHNIC/WORLD ALBUM 2002. Classical Cambodian Mahaori: This music is characterized by a floating quality that brings a sense of energizing peace to the listener.
Bio / Background
This album contains eleven tracks of classical Cambodian Mahaori music dating from the Angkor Period - some recorded for the first time. Track 11 Khaet Bombay was nominated BEST INSTRUMENTAL SONG 2002 by JUST PLAIN FOLKS.
Mahaori music is characterized by a floating quality that brings a sense of energizing peace to the listener. One can feel the complexity of the tropical jungle in the intertwining instrumental lines. It has the perfect balance of emotional intensity and equanimity.
This genre of music was almost completely wiped out during Pol Pot's purge of Cambodian classical musicians and dancers. Fortunately, the music has been passed down aurally for centuries and has survived in people's memories, ready to blossom again.
An unexpected benefit of the Cambodian diaspora is this collaboration between Cambodian masters and western classically-trained musicians.
