Sinn Sisamouth

Sin Sisamouth was a very famous Cambodian composer/singer of the 1960s and 70s. Even nowadays, he is still a considered a 'household' name and popular music choice. This is because his presence and influence in Cambodian music was so great. His main female singing partners for duo songs were Ros Sereysothear and Pan Ron. He had also sang the songs for the soundtracks to many famous movies at the time like On srey On and Thavory meas bong.

Sisamouth both composed and sang literally hundreds of songs that, which is most of them except for a few translations of some of what can be called his 'favourite' songs, in which he translated from languages such as English and French and sang in Khmer (Cambodia's main language) therefore introducing international songs into Cambodia that people may at that time might not have heard of ever before. He also sang love duet songs with his main singing partners Ros Sereysothear and Pan Ron. Some people in the music industry in Cambodia at that time may specialise only in singing or composing songs. But what sets Sisamouth apart from them is he did both - wrote his own songs and sung them himself or with a partner. Not just only composed a song and only sang one.

Song titles

Some of the songs (from the hundreds) that he actually composed and sang himself or with Sereysothear or Pan Ron include:

Note: Song titles were in Khmer but have been translated to English pronounciations. Translations of song prounounciations to English may not be accurate, may have been modified to be understandable in English and under other circumstances should not be considered error-free.
