'Rhythm and blues, psychedelia, surf rock, Latin grooves and a
sprinkling of saccharine pop.... 'All found their way into the mix,
not infrequently within the same song. A riot of distorted guitars,
Farfisa organ, drums and brass, frequently overlaid with ethereally
high-pitched female vocals, that combined to evoke the raw energy
of 60s American garage bands coupled with early Tamla Motown.' Lost
Generation tells the story of an iconic music, born in the city
known as the Pearl of Asia in the late 1950s and snuffed out little
more than a decade later in Pol Pot's brutal Khmer Rouge labour
camps, along with 90% of the artists who made it. Sin Sisamouth,
Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron and Yol Auralong are among the lost but
far from forgotten stars of the country's Golden Age. Their legacy
is not only very much alive in Cambodia today but is stealthily
acquiring a cult following around the world.a
