Cambodian music is a rich blend of traditional and contemporary styles, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage. Traditional music often features instruments like the tro, a bowed string instrument, and the roneat, a xylophone made of bamboo or wood. These instruments are commonly used in classical performances and folk songs, which are integral to Cambodian celebrations and rituals. In recent years, modern genres such as pop and rock have gained popularity, influenced by global music trends. Artists like Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea played significant roles in shaping the Cambodian music scene during the 1960s, blending traditional sounds with modern elements to create a unique musical identity.
