Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll Soundtrack

Experience the golden age of Cambodian rock before it was silenced forever.

Through the eyes, words, and songs of Cambodia’s popular music stars of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s.

Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll documents the country’s vibrant pop scene and its tragic disappearance under the Khmer Rouge regime. Compiled by the film’s director, this digital soundtrack presents newly remastered recordings that trace Cambodia’s rock and roll history — from early Western-influenced ballads to raw, psychedelic garage grooves.

Features legendary performers including Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Serey Sothea, Pen Ran, Huoy Meas, Baksey Cham Krong, and Yol Aularong — many of these tracks are available outside of Cambodia for the very first time.

The official soundtrack to John Pirozzi’s acclaimed documentary, the album is both a powerful listening experience and a vital historical record.

— A.O. Scott, The New York Times (Critics' Pick)

“A rich patchwork tapestry of powerful and ebullient music.”

— Village Voice (Critics' Pick)

“More moving than the music… it’s still a fervent cry for the power of music.”
