Krung gongs with flute, singers and clapping virgins - Call & Response | Sublime Frequencies: Ethnic Minority Music of Northeast Cambodia


Cannot stop listening to this album in between bouts of checking out the rest of what this amazing label has to offer. The passionate, down-to-earth singing speaks for itself, but what really gets me is the gong rhythms. There's something about them that makes me more hype than anything I've heard at a rave or club.

Jarai singer and guitarist - Jarai Ayin​/​Ayon Love Song | Sublime Frequencies: Ethnic Minority Music of Northeast Cambodia

This song is nice too for very different reasons. If the lyrics were in English it wouldn't sound out of place as part of the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack.
