Sin Sisamuth Remembered

For decades, at time when most of us Khmers feel that we are lonely, falling in love, happy about something, or just simply wanting to relax from the daily stress, we pop in a tape into a stereo and be entertained by the charming voice of Sin Sisamuth.

There was rumor floating around that when Sin Sisamuth sang on stage, he always looked down at the floor for the reason that any woman who looked at him directly would madly fall in love with him. This was probably true however not from any supernatural ability that he had but from his charming voice.

There is no question that Sin Sisamuth made the most contribution to Khmer music in every way. He was known to have written and sang most of his songs. His talented works and his voice are here to stay with us years to come.

But who is Sin Sisamuth and what ever happened to him? The article below, "Where did Sin Sisamuth pass away?", attempts to answer this question based on interviews from people closed to him.

Note: This article is extracted from "Reasmey Kampuchea" magazine and it was provided to Noko Khmer by Mr. Bou Vongsamnang.
