WOMAD

Tray So

From Cambodia

Cambodian music, like its cuisine, has its own special flavour. Recent decades have seen numerous passionate moves to recapture the former richness of Cambodian music, theatre and dance, and to educate the young in traditions that were almost lost. The group TRAY SO, has been especially formed for WOMAD 2011, to bring to an international audience some of the endangered treasures of Cambodian music, including love songs, lullabies, songs of loss, songs of meditation, and well as the sounds of exotic instruments such as the evocative sneng, made out of an animal horn, and which was traditionally used to call elephants.
