Cambodian Rock is a genre of music that emerged in Cambodia during the 1960s and 1970s, blending traditional Cambodian sounds with Western rock influences. It features electric guitars, catchy melodies, and often incorporates elements of {Khmer} culture. The music was popular among the youth and reflected the vibrant cultural scene of the time. The genre faced a significant decline during the {Khmer Rouge} regime in the late 1970s, which led to the persecution of many artists. Despite this, Cambodian Rock has experienced a revival in recent years, gaining international recognition and inspiring new generations of musicians.
