Genocide, part 2

This week we arrive in Cambodia. I'm not sure what our schedule will be so I wrote a couple of posts in advance anticipating a gap in internet access during our transition.

After my recent post on Cambodia's genocide, I received a link to this article from the BBC. Basically, the story is about a musical genre known as Khmer Rock. The leading artists from this genre of music were wiped out by the Pol Pot regime. So, it wasn't just doctors, lawyers and teachers they lost - they also lost their leading artists. There is an audio interview available at the link that is also very interesting, I recommend you check it out.
