Cambodian Music by admirable people

Throughout many places in Cambodia, specially at Angkor and some night markets, you may bump into some really amazing music, played by injured men. It's part of a rehabilitation program. 

In Cambodia there are still mines that explode and injure men, women and children. Cambodians have a huge challenge to help these people after these type of awful accidents.
One of the things they do, is teach them to play instruments, and gather them in groups, and they play together the traditional Kmer music. It's both emotive and very sad, you feel a deep respect and sorrow at the same time for these people who go on, and not only go on, but they bring to the rest of us this beautiful Cambodian sounds, that add such a magical atmosphere to the already mystical Angkor.

Pay attention, give a smile and an applause. Be thankful.
