Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Since this group recently played live in London, this album is the necessary adjunct.
And what it evokes is the music which was all the rage in Phnom Penh in the palmy days of the 1960s and 1970s, before Pol Pot scorched the earth.
The group is based in California, but its lead singer Chhom Nimol – who regularly sang for the Cambodian royal family – has that slightly strangulated vocal charm which you find all over the Indo-Chinese peninsula. The accompanying DVD brings back vivid memories.
