Khmer Famouse Star Singers

Sinn Sisamouth (Alternate spellings: Sinn Sisamout/h, Sisamut/h or 'Si' with spacing e.g. Si Sisamouth) (Pronounced: Sinn Sis-sa-mott with a silent 'h') was a very famous and a highly prolific Cambodia (Cambodia: A nation in southeastern Asia; was part of Indochina under French rule until 1946) n singer-songwriter (singer-songwriter: the term singer-songwriter refers to performers who both write and sing their own material....[follow hyperlink for more...]) of the 1960s (1960s: The decade from 1960 to 1969) and 70 (70:

The cardinal number that is the product of ten and seven) s. Even nowadays, he is still considered a 'household' name and popular music choice. This was because his presence and influence on Cambodian music (Cambodian music: music of cambodia is classified into two forms, modern cambodian culture is derived...[follow hyperlink for more...]) was so great. His main female singing partners for duo songs were Ros Sereysothear (Ros Sereysothear: ros sereysothear was a famous cambodian singer of the 1960s and 70s.... [follow hyperlink for more...]) and Pan Ron (Pan Ron: pan ron was one of two famous female cambodian singers of the 1960s and 70s....[follow hyperlink for more...]) of which the previous is ideal to be Sisamouth's singing partner because her high crisp voice balanced the deeper toned but also crisp voice of Sisamouth.

He had also sang the songs for the soundtracks to many famous movies at the time like On srey On (On srey On: on srey on was one of the most famous cambodian movies of the 1970s starring kong...[follow hyperlink for more...]) and Thavory meas bong (Thavory meas bong: thavory meas bong was a famous cambodian movie of the 1970s....[follow hyperlink for more...]) .However this was all shortened by his death, as it is believed that Sinn Sisamouth and other Khmer musicians and actors of his time died during the Khmer Rouge (Khmer Rouge: A communist organization formed in Cambodia in 1970; became a terrorist organization in 1975 when it captured Phnom Penh and created a government that killed an estimated three million people; was defeated by Vietnamese troops but remained active until 19) regime during the 1970s.

This led to a shorter than expected career of what many people can consider as the 'King of Khmer music', his works however still are pretty much alive in terms of how his work are in existence and the popularity despite the growing younger generation of Khmer singers and their more perhaps 'westernized' approach to pop music and other genres like rap music. Sinn Sisamouth both composed and sang literally hundreds of songs, of which most of them he composed and sang himself or with partners.

For the exception for a few translations of some of what can be called his 'favourite' songs, in which he translated from languages such as English and French and sang in Khmer (Khmer: The Mon-Khmer language spoken in Cambodia) (Cambodia's main language) therefore introducing international songs into Cambodia that people may at that time might not have heard of ever before. A great number of Sisamouth's works were mainly focused on love as the genre, however there were some which could be classified under the rock category and can be distinguished from his love songs by the more intense background music and the lyrics which are sung at usually a faster pace and somewhat a least gentle tone.

Some people in the music industry in Cambodia at that time may specialise only in singing or composing songs. But what sets Sisamouth apart from them is he did both - wrote his own songs and sung them himself or with a partner. Not only just composed a song or only sang one, this makes Sisamouth as a highly prolific singer. Also worth mentioning, are the skills of those who played the instruments for the tunes to the song contributing to the overall success of Sinn Sisamouth and adding to their contribution to the Khmer music.

Some of the songs (from the hundreds and possibly thousands) that he actually composed and sang himself or with Ros Sereysothear or Pan Ron include:

Life and Job

http://video.google.com/

My name Sareth Srey Sroh, was born August 02, 1976 in Sanke district, Battambang province "During the Pot Pol Regime". My dad who named Dy Sarath who worked as a soldier and did medium business during 1960s - 70s. And he passed away in Pot Pol one week before I open my eyes see our big world " Mom told".

Mom told me that, my childhood was a bit difficult and different from other children; it's according that time we did not have enough foods to eat, but we used our labor in work very hard. Although cause my health was very.........very poor, I could not walk such as other children. In naturally they can stand or walk when they're got around 1 and half year but for me I can walk until I got up almost 4 years, because of weakness health. It's very bad luck for me got this Mom added. In her life, she never expected that she could save my life from the worst condition in living through today, heard that I feel very pity for mylife. However, mom tried all her best taking of 2 daughters who save lives from that the genocide generation.

I really understood all of those problems above are not her fall or anyone else "Because I knew Mom is a very smart lady, with her kindness that we should be proud of her. She's working very heard with never thinks day or night tried to save our lives, after she got nothing supported from her husband "I mean my dady and other siblings who passed away during that year as following after dad gone.

Just 3 years and 20 days only, we lose a lovely dad, 2 sisters and one brother who name Dy Tony passed away also, after I have 1and half month age. Mom ever told me that I got this lovely named brother Tony named. She added, brother Tony love me so much that he gave me this named since first day of my life and he do not allowed anyone call me any bad words. He's always slept with me every night when he still alive. Unfortunately, in several days later he got a malaria disease and the doctor could not save his life, then he gone away from our world at the ended of August in 1976 with put his hand on my body to expressed his lovely feel and don't want to go away from this young girl. After that another 2 sisters "The 1st& 2nd once, they died following from the 4th brother.

Since that time mom living in hopeless because of she could not accepted what were happened in her life. She have no many children, no husband any more. After all she be came a person who got mental problem several months. Luckily, she had a generous god sister who was a doctor took care of her and my family until mom got much better from this problem.

In 1979, after Pol Pot regime gone, mom feeling better from her mental problem to living with 2 daughters that " My third-sister and my self". We tried for make a small business to find some profit supported in our family such as sold some Dried fish.........eggs.......vegetables etc............ that she could not remember for helping our small family. After Six-months later, we moved to living in Kandal province was our relatives' home place that "Her whole family and other relatives leave from home town because of Pol Pot.

In early of 1980s, we're moved to Kandal province and living there until mom got second married with a widow man who named "Med, who's my sister and I calling papa today". After married our family decided left from home place to living in Phnom Penh during end of 1980s. With our bad living condition from the empty hands "No pen in pocket.........no home no anything, since we should saying thanks god helped us to met with mom's cousin who living in Phnom Penh since after Pol Pot, his is named Sarom. Uncle Sarom and his wife were kindness persons, he provided us some living materials a very small flat on the 3rd floor near his house for living.

My second father who's well-known with of hairdresser job, then in that year we decided sold all Jewry that mom left her small business at Battambang, to bough some supporting material to created this his job for step dad. Our step father, he's a simple man, not very perfect but he's a kindness man "because me and sister as his duaghters, and he's a man who responsible in the family as well. From that year I and my elder sister decided call him papa since that time. And still mom also help Pa sale a small business in from of neighbor's house and my self also help mom for sale her good too after school.

Several years later, my Mom gave a birth for another two children "One daughter and one son". As my good memory, I still remember that during that year in family don't knew the word meaning of happiness, why I said this, because my step father still continuing kept some budget from his benefit to feed his first 4-children who he left after married with mom. This action its cause my mom and elder sister got upset with him but it's different from me. Because I am a type of girl who has higher responsibility since young ages, so I tried to controlled or explained mom feel trying to understand about his situation" he's a father of other young fourth-child so his main duty must be taking care of them is natural culture. So I would mom please be or must accepted situation as well.

According to our living condition not very good so mom never care about our school progressing How it's going one or push children trying to learn getting more higher educated or such as other parent who are always do for their children. But I was very much understood it's not any body else's mistaked even mom or dad or who ever. And especially, it should be helps our selves self as much as we can..........

During mid of 1991, during my class was improved, I got on grad 10 almost finished from high school. Unfortunate my mom got a seriously sick in bed from her heard working, she could not do anything else that time. And sister were living with my Aunty for her class, who named Aunty Neang, shes youngest sister of father Rath's sister who living at Orussey Market because our family could supported her for school free. My self Sroh decided do not go to school anymore from that year for taking Mom, with my younger sister and youngest brother, who were only around 7 and 4 years old.

In a year later my mom got better from her sickness, then she could continuing her small business as last time but she still help from me so, then I decided to taken a good chance to cough up and skill was English language for an hour day, but some time I got only 3 hours a week depending on my budget but all those money I never got from family, because started earned from sales things. I was continuing the English class was completed Essential English Book1 in a year later ended of 1992.

One day early 1993 as I remember well, my uncle-in-law, who name Ton asked me for working an International Organization called "The Asia Foundation, it's my present office" as house keeper got salary around $40.00 US dollars only per-month, but the employer allow me as part time only it's 3 days per-week. Hearing those news, everyone in my were felt very happy to hear this good news because even myself, I never expected only a bit I can get this job to do from less skill and language for helping my family much better of living condition. During that year, I was about 17 years old only, hearing this you might think that it's a bit funny with pity girl doing this kind job".

I have worked this job as a House-keeper from year to another year and my salary also increased a bit more and more till early 1998, I got in to $155 US dollars a month. During those working years I am kept continuing my English language class or other vocational training skills everyday by supporting from office for school free but some other I paid my self too. This good actions, was notice by the boss BIG and other colleagues. After mid of 1998 I got a recommended from my colleague, Ms. Kem Vantha, she's working on Secretary Post and also responsible on reception area. She's a kindness lady who loves me a lot as other friends as well. She would like to me to know how to working on her working place? Because wants me to be promoted from House- keeper to work with and helping her too, she's said. It was very lucky for me for who got this good opportunity to work with Bang Vantha. She touch me all any kinds of her works..............how do this and how to do that.......? It's about 6-months later I cough up and understood related to this work in every short period quickly all anything related to that job responsibility. So end of the year 1998, my former BIG BOSS Dr. Jon Summers" told me that I was promoted to working as Secretary area from a year later, and Ms. Vantha who's promoted to work at the Accountant Assistant too. Before, he provided this job to me he asked me one question is "How much do I expected to responsible of this duty best?" then I relied, Yes, I will try to do this work all my best to improving my knowledge more effectiveness and more better, because I think only works that teaching no anyone knew all anything that they never done. I think I can do all my best. After that I got this job since from that year as flowing until present, and I feeling that still that job never feeling tired even I would like to promoted to another experience.

And, today I have another big responsible for supporting to a whole family from this job. But never tired to help them because I am still if I don't have as such smart lady as MOM or a kindness as my second father I might not become in to THIS step too, that's I am rememding my self.........always.

Finally, I would to express my profound of deeply thanks for MOM and both dad "Even Dad RATH who gave me good a life or Pa Med took care of me since young ages", including with a kindness BOSS "Dr. Jon Summers, Uncle Ton, Bang Vantha and other good colleagues who ever helps or supported me even their love, kindness for supporting as such skills for me to getting better and better till to the present. And lastly I would like to thanks my older brother"Brother Tony" who gave name this luckiest name for sister. Even brother did not living with us. However, I hope you might knew and understand all anything are happening with my life and our family from the past to present, but we would not know yet what happen with me in the future?

Thus, all of those informations above are the true story had happened in my life and with as a whole family....... So I think it could be suggested as good lesson for other who should know or and learn from even not much but still could help you some points.

Moments

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you wants to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy?

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.



Happiness lies for those who cry those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people, and who have touched their lives.


Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand and Angels watch over you...........!

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down and to those you want to tell how much their friendship/love is appreciated.

And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you; you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message........

A friend is some one who we turn to when our spirit need a lift.
A friend is some one who we treasure for our friendship is a GIFT.
A friend is some one who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.
Make the whole world we live in a better and happier place.
~ Jean Kyler McManus~

Friends do things for one other
They understand.
They go a million miles out of their way.
They hold your head.

They bring you smiles is when a smile is exactly what you need.
They listen and they hear what is said in the spaces between the words.
They care and they let you know you are in their prayers.

Friends are always the perfect thing to do.
They can make your whole day just saying something,
That no one else could have said
Sometimes you feel like the two of you share a secret language,
That's other can'tt turn in to.

A friend can guide you, inspire you, and comfort you,
Or light up your life with laughter
A friend understands your moods, and natures you needs.
A friend lovingly knows just what you're after.

When your feelings come from deep inside, and,
They need to be to spoken with someone,
You haven't to hide from.
You share them with a friend.
When good news comes a friend is the first one you turn to.

When feelings overflow and tear needs to fall,
Friends help you through it all.
Friends bring sunlight in to you life.
They warm your life with their presence,
Whether they are away or close by your side.
A friend is a gift that brings happiness,
And a treasure that money can't buy.
