Cambodia in the 1960s saw the emergence of a pop and rock scene whose creativity and cultural roots made it a defining movement of its time, before the Khmer Rouge regime abruptly cut it off. Today, this music is still very popular in Cambodian communities around the world and offers a unique platform to discuss the role of music and the memories associated with the musical experience in the intergenerational transmission of cultural knowledge. Speaker: Stephanie Khoury, Tufts University (USA).
