A recording of a classic song about the Reamker performed by Sinn Sisamouth, Sin Samadekchho, Em Theay and other artists in the 1960s, described in the Bophana Center Archive catalogue. (Bophana Archives Online record)

Description

The archive presents only some scenes of the Reamker rather than the complete story. The record describes the Reamker, also called Ramaketi or Ramayana, as a heroic literary work of long story and great sacrifice originating in the Ramayana of India written by Maharishi Valmiki in the third century BC. (Bophana Archives Online record)

Credits

The record names Sinn Sisamouth, Sin Samadekchho, Em Theay and other artists as performers. It names no narrator or interviewer, because the material is a song rather than an interview. (Bophana Archives Online record)
