Deluxe laminated sleeve and high-quality vinyl made in France. Includes: A3 poster, 2x 12'' inserts, 1x 4-panels flyer. Limited edition of 700. Akuphone and The Cambodian Vintage Music Archive present the first-ever retrospective dedicated to
So Savoeun
-- one of the radiant voices that defined Phnom Penh's golden age of sound in the 1960s and 1970s. In those vibrant years, the city pulsed with music: rock bands, crooners, and traditional ensembles blended East and West, shaping a uniquely Cambodian pop that shimmered with hope and modernity. Amid this flourishing scene, So Savoeun's voice stood out -- silken yet powerful, intimate yet expansive, carrying with it the promise of a new era. This collection brings together rare and long-unheard recordings, including luminous duets with legendary contemporaries
Meas Saman
,
Lek Savath
, and
Sinn Sisamouth
. Each track is more than just a song -- it is a fragment of memory, a preserved echo of nights when Phnom Penh's dance halls and radios overflowed with rhythm and possibility. In her own words, hearing these songs resurface is like opening a long-buried chest of jewels, hidden beneath the dust of history and now gleaming again after half a century. Her voice, once thought lost to time, reemerges like the cicada whose chant reverberates endlessly through the forest -- an eternal call that bridges silence and remembrance. Her music is more than nostalgia; it is testament and rebirth. It continues to resonate, not only with those who lived through that golden era, but with new generations discovering its beauty for the first time. Through this release, the past breathes again -- tender, luminous, and unforgettably alive.
