KHMER TRADITIONAL WEDDING MUSIC

Ce disque propose de la musique de mariage traditionnelle khmère, jouée sur un ensemble composé d'instruments à cordes, de flûte et de percussions. Il s'agit d'un style populaire qui se joue partout, nommé phleng kar ou phleng khmer. (ASDS)

"This excellent CD of traditional wedding music comes with pictures and names of all the instruments and translations of the tune titles in English. Instruments include cha pey (2 stringed long necked lute) trou ou, trou khmer (2 stringed fiddles) and sa diev. The titles include Pay Gratitude to Parents, Procession of Wedding Gifts, Pray of Ancestors, Bride Washing Future Husband's Legs and Gift Giving to Bridegroom. Upbeat, percussive, melodious, repetitive in places yet exquisite. A great CD if you want to listen to the living traditional music of Cambodia." (d'après www.farsidemusic.com)
