Cambodian Folk Music

Cambodian folk music is a rich cultural expression that reflects the country's history, traditions, and daily life. It features various musical styles and instruments, such as the roneat (a bamboo xylophone) and the tro (a violin-like string instrument). Folk songs often tell stories of love, nature, and local legends, and they are commonly performed during festivals, ceremonies, and celebrations. This music serves as a vital link to Cambodia's heritage, preserving the nation's artistic identity and fostering community bonds, while also evolving with contemporary influences.
