Sinn Sisamouth (
Khmer: [sɨn siːsaːmut]; 23
August 1932 – 18
June 1976) was a famous and highly prolific Cambodian singer-songwriter in the
1950s to the
1970s.Widely considered the "
King of Khmer music,"
Sin Sisamouth, along with
Ros Sereysothea,
Pan Ron,
Mao Sareth and other Khmer artists, was part of a thriving pop music scene in
Phnom Penh that blended elements of Khmer traditional music with the sounds of rhythm and blues and rock and roll to make a
Westernized sound akin to psychedelic or garage rock.
Sisamouth died during the
Khmer Rouge regime under circumstances that are unclear.
Early lifeSinn Sisamouth was born in August 23, 1932 in
Stung Treng Province, the son of
Sinn Leang and mother Seb Bunlei.He was the youngest of four siblings, with one brother and two sisters. His father was a prison warden in
Battambang Province and was then a soldier during the
Colonial Cambodia period. His father died of disease and his mother remarried, and the union resulted in two more children.Sisamouth attended
Central Province of
Stung Treng Elementary School when he was five. At the age of six or seven, he started to show interest in the guitar, and he would be asked to perform at school functions. He was also interested in
Buddhist scripture and other books, as well as playing soccer and flying kites.
Around 1951, he passed elementary school and intended to study medicine in Phnom Penh, but continued working at becoming a singer and writing songs. Just as he had in elementary school, he became well known in his school for his music, and was asked to sing at school ceremonies.By the time
Cambodia was granted independence from
France in
1953, Sisamouth's fine singing voice landed him a spot on national radio as a regular singer. He also continued his studies, working at Preah Ketomealea
Hospital.
Music career After completing medical school, Sisamouth became a nurse and married his cousin, Keo Thorng
Gnut in an arranged marriage. The couple had four children. But he was also a very famous singing star in Cambodia, and his life as a celebrity eclipsed his family life. He possessed a clear crooning voice which, combined with his own compositions about the pleasures and pains of romance, made him an idol. He sang many ballads, as well uptempo rock numbers that featured prominent, distortion-laden guitar, pumping organ and loud, driving drums. Other arrangements were more
Latin jazz-sounding, featuring woodwinds, brass, and auxiliary percussion
. In the early 1950s he became a protégé of
Queen Nearyrath. He was selected into the
Vong Phleng Preah
Reach Troap (classical ensemble of the
Royal Treasury) where together with Sos
Matt, he performed at royal receptions and state functions. A number of songs he wrote subsequently bore the unmistakable melancholic melodies of traditional Khmer music he performed in those formative years. In the mid-1950s a romantic ballad "Violon
Sneha", composed by violinist
Hass Salan, catapulted Sisamouth into stardom. In recent years the song has been re-issued by a large number of modern performers, including Song Seng
Horn, who comes from
Rhode Island,
Mol Kamach (a singer and guitarist of the
1960s who escaped the Khmer Rouge rule and is now living in France), Nay Sieng (a Khmer based in France), and Him Sivonn (a female vocalist from Phnom Penh).
