Cambodian Music - So Savoeun
With one of the most distinctive voices in all of Cambodian music, So
Savoeun was a popular female singer during the 60s and 70s, and she has
continued to make music for many years. Specializing in slower romantic
and sad songs, her beautiful, deeply soulful and penetrating voice
leaves the listener emotionally saturated.
So Savoeun was one of the
most popular female singers in Cambodia before the Khmer Rouge took
over Phnom Penh in April of 1975. Her many fans appreciated the level
of feeling that she put into every song, whether rock and roll or
traditional Khmer music. She was frequently paired with the male
singer/comedian Meas Samon - in their many duets together, both singers
would impress audiences with their emotional and meaningful deliveries.
Of
the many great musicians living before the communist take-over, So
Savoeun is one of the very few to have survived the next four years.
She fled to Thailand before the Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh,
and then made her way to France with her husband. Today, she continues
to live just outside of Paris.
