Yes, Cambodia.\u00a0The Cambodian Space Project revisits 60\u2019s hits from Cambodia and does it in such a way it is virtually impossible not to listen. I saved the name in my cellphone for a later browse with proper hi-fi system. I was surprised. Their lead singer\u00a0Srey Thy has that likable powerful pop voice. Even if half the songs are in her native language you can\u2019t just stay there and not try to sing along.

This struck him as odd. Ordinarily the bars in Cambodia\u2019s capital only allow singers to perform in groups of around a dozen, and youth and vacant stares seem to be favoured over musical talent. \u201cThey kinda look like the zombies in Michael Jackson\u2019s \u2018Thriller\u2019,\u201d he says. As he listened to her he realised why she sang alone. A voice as naturally gifted as this is a rare find.<\/p>\n<p>Poulson invited the singer, Srey Thy, to start a band with him and together they formed the nucleus of what has become The Cambodian Space Project, a remarkable group who not only cover and preserve songs from the \u2018golden age\u2019 of 60s Cambodian pop but also write their own dazzlingly original Khmer psychedelic rock. They\u2019ve now toured all over the world, from Texas to the End of the Road, but the shows they talk of with most pride are the ones they play in remote villages across Cambodia.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the importance of these shows, and their context, we have to go back to April 17th 1975: the day Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia. As Poulson says, they \u201cripped out the heart and soul of Cambodian culture. Their very ill-conceived manifesto was a kind of fucked-up Maoist thing, to return society to agrarian utopia, which meant destroying and dismantling culture. The Khmer Rouge very successfully destroyed everything, along with almost two million Cambodian lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0JRomdJh9Ys?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"beacon_1f09faffc0\">The Khmer Rouge specifically targeted anybody that they regarded as professionals or intellectuals. This included the majority of Cambodian writers, artists and musicians, many of whom were taken to the Killing Fields. Cambodia today is littered with haunting reminders of the horrors of the regime. At Choeung Ek, about 17 km south of Cambodia\u2019s capital Phnom Penh, there stands a stupa, a Buddhist monument, with glass sides. Inside there are more than 5,000 human skulls piled on top of one another. Many are cracked or smashed in. It was built as a memorial to the 17,000 people killed there between 1975 and 1979, and stands as an awful testament of man\u2019s inhumanity to man.<\/div>\n<p>All traces of the music, including the physical records, from the 60s \u2018golden era\u2019 of Cambodian pop were systematically wiped out, while Cambodia\u2019s most famous singers, Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron and Houy Meas were all murdered. Srey Thy tells me how Houy Meas was gang-raped and her body mutilated, and Poulson recounts the infamous story that Sinn Sisamouth was led in front of a firing squad and invited to sing one last song to the troops who would kill him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do a cover of \u2018House of the Rising Sun\u2019,\u201d Poulson tells me. \u201cIn this country for a band it would be a very silly, overblown and obvious cover, but in the context of a female Cambodian singer, taking the lyrics from Sinn Sisamouth who did an astonishing version of it in the Sixties, it has an incredible power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the few Cambodian musicians to survive the Khmer Rouge was Master Kong Nay, who was forced to sing propaganda songs in order to save his own life. For Poulson, hearing Kong Nay demonstrated the depth of Cambodian music. \u201cI met Master Kong Nay, the old, blind musician, and also Srey Thy\u2019s teacher. I heard his voice and saw him playing in a corrugated iron hut and I was just blown away. They call it the \u2018Mekong Delta blues\u2019. They call him the Ray Charles of Phnom Penh, because he looks like Ray Charles, but really it\u2019s a misnomer. He\u2019s the Leadbelly of Phnom Penh, and just totally fucking cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy\u2019s parents lived under the Khmer Rouge, although her mother was forced to give up her own singing ambitions: \u201cMy mum sing very good, and she wanted to go to Phnom Penh. But when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge come they kill her parents. She stopped singing. She cut her hair, same as boy. She make up black to put on face. If very beautiful, they want to kill. My mum was very young.\u201d The make-up she describes is a reference to the ethnic element to some of the violence, where darker-skinned Cambodians targeted their lighter-skinned countrymen.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnamese forces captured Phnom Penh and forced Pol Pot from power on January 7, 1979, although widespread fighting would continue for many years. There were some immediate changes in Cambodia, however, as Poulson explains: \u201cIt was the biggest baby boom in the world\u2019s history: 1979-1980. Srey Thy was born at the end of that. People weren\u2019t allowed to marry before, or celebrate. I guess we see the result of that now where they have their big Cambodian parties, everyone comes together and the music goes at full blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy loved music from a young age, whether it was listening to her mother singing while she worked, or the transistor radio that her father would listen to in his tank as he patrolled the frontlines. As Poulson explained: \u201cHer father was a tank driver. There\u2019s an amazing photo which shows her semi-naked except for a handbag and some pants on. She\u2019s about this big. There\u2019s a table here, there\u2019s a transistor radio with its aerial up, there\u2019s Pa in his military uniform, a six gun slung around his hips, and the tank. They\u2019re moving around the country in a Soviet T-53 tank and listening to the radio. They were moving around the frontlines, as the war continued. This is post-Pol Pot times. What many people don\u2019t understand about Cambodian history is that war continued for a long time. The Khmer Rouge was supported by all the Western countries because they didn\u2019t want to support the Vietnamese occupying forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy adds that her mother\u2019s rediscovered love of singing was infectious: \u201cListen radio, listen my mum sing. I say \u2018Oh mum, you sing good.\u2019 We have parties, she sing. She work, she sing. She work, I work beside my mum. She make food, washing, she sing a lot. I sing beside my mum. My mum was my teacher. I didn\u2019t go to school, except for one week. When the teacher ask if anybody sing, I say \u2018Me! Me!\u2019 Everybody shy, me not shy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy has worked constantly since around the age of four or five. At first she began by planting rice, then cutting it. By the time she was nine she had moved on to work at a rubber plantation. At this point her family was targeted by the Royalist military forces, and she recalls having to help her pregnant mother flee from gunfire. As a teenager, she moved to Phnom Penh in search of a living and worked in a variety of shops and even as a builder\u2019s labourer. When she was 18, a girl promised her a job in a beauty parlour but it turned out to be a brutal deception. She was tied to a bed with electrical wire around her wrists and would have been sold to a sex trafficking ring if another woman hadn\u2019t managed to help her escape. She says now that she was targeted \u201cbecause I young, no had boyfriend\u201d. She would fetch a higher price as a virgin.<\/p>\n<p>She began singing professionally at 19. Club owners told her that although she could sing, they did not think she was as pretty as the other girls so would pay her less. By 2005, Sry They was earning a good living as a singer. She had discovered that her talent could prove lucrative in terms of tips: \u201cPeople say to me: \u2018Oh you sing good, old songs,\u201d she says. \u201cEverybody loves old songs. Romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2009 she met Julien Poulson. \u201cVery lucky for me,\u201d she smiles. \u201cSame for me!\u201d he replies. Poulson had been working in East Timor producing media for the country\u2019s truth and reconciliation commission. He had received a grant to work on a music project there but before he could start it up, war broke out. Unable to return to Dili he was granted permission to take the money to Cambodia, where he was looking for musicians who could revive the country\u2019s flagging music scene.<\/p>\n<p>After meeting Srey Thy, he didn\u2019t waste much time before putting together a show: \u201cOur first gig was at a little swampy bar called the Alley Cat in Phnom Penh, and the other musicians blew in literally within ten or fifteen minutes of the first few songs. Scott Bywater, who is with us now, offered to play or bring some instruments down. He was the \u2018Bill Wyman\u2019 guy, which I can say because he\u2019s not around at the moment! We wanted him for his instruments at that time, but he\u2019s an incredible musician and such a big part of our creativity now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They later also added a drummer, the enigmatic Bong Sak: \u201cBong Sak was a soldier for a long time. It\u2019s sadly not uncommon in Cambodia. Right now he\u2019s finding it very hard to be here in London. He\u2019d rather stay at home, on the farm, eat food routinely and ride a motorbike down to the gig when it\u2019s on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The momentum grew from that first gig. \u201cFrom that moment on it\u2019s just been this Cambodian gypsy caravan where we all wanted to play music and go to disadvantaged communities, orphanages, schools and perform there, not necessarily with any view to doing anything beyond that but just because that was so important to do and so enriching. It was a big moment when Srey Thy said: \u2018Now, I think Cambodian Space Project should come to my village!\u2019 She\u2019s written a song, \u2018Whisky Cambodia\u2019, about that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the song she describes the feast that is being prepared for the \u2018barang\u2019, the foreigners, who are visiting the village. She adds: \u201cEveryone very happy that the barang came. We saw the barang dancing, making music, drinking whiskey Cambodia. Not had barang visitors before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poulson explains how important rural Cambodia is to the band, but also the complicated issues that can arise: \u201cIt\u2019s remote, it really is. Srey Thy\u2019s family home is literally a thatched bamboo hut, but she\u2019s very attached to the place and it\u2019s very deep in her persona. She\u2019s steeped in the rice fields of Prey Veng. There are problems with the abject poverty, particularly for Srey Thy, because suddenly everyone there expects her to be rich or to be able to fix problems or to be different. Her grandparents love to look at her pictures from Paris or London, and they\u2019ll say, \u2018Now you are very different, very beautiful, you\u2019ve changed!\u2019 She\u2019ll say thank you, and then they\u2019ll say, \u2018But never forget, you\u2019re one of us. Your bare feet are in our fields.\u2019 She will say, \u2018Yes, I never forget.'\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy\u2019s development as a songwriter was initially a surprise for the band, who began by covering the old favourites of Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Sereysothea and Pan Ron. \u201cFairly early on we tried to record some of the stuff that we\u2019d got down. We went to a little recording studio and did some things which weren\u2019t that great, just demos. Then Srey Thy said \u2018I have something I want to sing. Original.\u2019 It was great, that\u2019s what we really wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I1oG4x2Y_HE?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Their debut album,\u00a0<em>2011: A Space Odyssey<\/em>, is \u201cvery much a party set\u201d mainly made up of covers of 60s standards but with a couple of original Srey Thy songs thrown in. Their follow-up could be quite different: \u201cThis album was all recorded in Cambodia, which was very important. It was challenging but the results were pleasing. The next album we\u2019re hopefully going to do in Melbourne with Mick Harvey. He\u2019s interested and wants to do it. He did PJ Harvey\u2019s last album and worked with Anita Lane, so he\u2019s used to female vocalists, and that fact that ours sings in Khmer doesn\u2019t really make any difference if you\u2019re a soundscapey kind of character. Strangely, the darker Cambodian songs are kinda like the Bad Seeds: noir-ish karaoke that ends with murder in the rice paddies. They\u2019ve got this kinda hypnotic groove to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Srey Thy now tries to turn her experiences into positive and powerful stories, whether it is as a human rights advocate and a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women\u2019s UNiTE, the campaign to end violence against women, or as a songwriter. I ask Srey Thy about her songwriting technique, and she explains that while she works hard to observe and write thoughtful songs, her best songs are stories that come from her own experience, and from her heart. \u201cIn my song I try to have three emotions: happy, sad and funny,\u201d she says, \u201c\u2018Not Easy, Rock & Roll\u2019, come from heart. \u2018Broken Flower\u2019, from heart, \u2018Have Visa, No Have Rice\u2019, from heart, \u2018You Go, I Come Too\u2019, from head, \u2018Whisky Cambodia\u2019, from head. From head, I see and I write, but write from heart not easy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\"
