Penhville: Hanging with Silapak Khmer Amatak . We've just finished our annual cultural tour. If you haven't already, check out the Meik Sratum Exhibition going on http://www.silapakkhmeramatak.org/meiksratum/ Upstairs we have the Cambodian Jazz project, and beats from SEAsia as they refine Khmer rhyme. Downstairs we often have visiting Koun Sethisak, a tenor trained in Russia and quite possibly the only Western-style Cambodian tenor. http://www.carrerasmedia.homestead.com/Media112.html http://www.bigpond.com.kh/users/eojc/event/photo-concert.htm Sometimes the sounds all synchronize.
