キャロルキング X カンボジアラップ (Carole King meets Khmer )
6年程前、まだカンボジアに住む前に
YOUTUBEでみつけた曲がこれでした。
KHMER RAP BOYZ Feat KDEP
"Baeuk Chak" Cream Remix
KHMER RAP BOYZ Feat KDEP Baeuk Chak Cream Remix
今も人気のカンボジアのヒップホップレーベル
"KLAP YA HANDZ"がリリースした曲で、
キャロル・キングの「It's too late」をサンプリングしています！
でも、使用されてるのはオリジナルの曲ではなく、
カンボジア人が歌う「It's too late」で衝撃でした。
Carole King Album "Tapestry" (つづれおり) 1971
It's Too Late (Khmer Version) by Pov Vannary (ហួសហើយបង)
カンボジアは内戦前、ロックの黄金時代がありました。
その時代に西洋の曲のカバーをたくさんして人気だったのが
この女性パウ・ヴァナリーさんだったようです。

ពៅ វណ្ណារី / Poev (a.k.a. Pov) Vannary (http://www.myspace.com) was a popular singer and musician from the infamous Khmer Rock era of the 1960s and 1970s. She was educated in the United States and was much influenced by the American pop scene of the period as evident in her covers. Her first claim to fame was taking first place in the annual singing contest singing Ros Serey Sothea songs with Sinn Sisamouth sitting on the judging panel. Vannary's trademark is her guitar; she was the first female to play a guitar on a Cambodian stage. Her current whereabouts are unknown; thus, Vannary is presumed to be executed under the hands of the Khmer Rouge regime like manyother well-known entertainers.
