 In the Spotlight: Nath Keo - June 2004
|
| The “dancing machine” Mr. Nath Keo is back on the spotlight! This time around, he has tossed his bellydancing shoes to the side to clutch a mic. In December 2003, the man with many talented masks released his first Khmer album “Sg’ath Sg’ath” to the world. In this Rajana exclusive interview, he shares about the making of the album, his recent trip to Cambodia and the local’s reaction and many other odd tidbits. And don’t be surprise if we ask him for a third interview in the near near future (we wonder under what title though). |

| KC Sits Down with the Khmer Angels - June 2001
|
| If there was ever a case where the old clich "looks can be deceiving" held true, these three ladies would be it. Vibol and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit down with the Khmer Angels and their manager to get an inside look on whom the Khmer Angels really are. At first, we were overwhelmed by their beauty, but underneath this facade lies intelligence, compassion, honesty, sincerity, and determination. We chatted openly over lunch and these ladies are no more different from your typical Khmer woman next door. They hold true to their roots, and their main focus besides their music is to send a message to Cambodians, most noted, the female side of the community that you don't have to live behind fear; you can make a difference in your life if you so choose to. |
