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.
