The Elvis of Cambodia

Kerrie and Grace venture further afield to explore stories from the world of music outside of Europe and North America. We explore the tragic but fascinating story of the thriving Cambodian Rock scene during the 60s and early-70s and how it was brutally silenced by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 before travelling to Africa to chat about the sociopolitical world and music of Fela Kuti and Afrobeat.

New music hot picks this week come from Animal Breakdown and Teenage Waitress.
