Today’s artists are trying to find a way to balance the conservation and the evolution of traditional Cambodian music and dance. Among them are the artists of the La Compagnie Bosbapanh, which recently released two DVDs of a 2009 concert.
The DVD, “Neak Me, or “Our Mothers,” interprets a repertoire of songs, images and dance and features the talent of 12-year-old Panh Bosba and 100 other accomplished Cambodian musicians.
Bosba Panh’s father and artistic director, Panh Meng Heang, told “Hello VOA” on Monday it had been a challenge to bring so many performers to work with a much younger singer.
