Cambodian Weddings
Cambodian weddings are done in a culture that involves religion. These consist of rituals such as blessing the couple with red string bracelets, an act of cutting the hair by the heaven Gods and a whole heap of chants done by monks.
All Cambodian wedding music are done with traditional music. Most of the played music would accompany the rituals, acts or performance. Traditional music at weddings would be an essential need for the process of marrying because without it the rituals would not be able to be perform and .... of course! What's a wedding without music!
Although, a full wedding ceremony is done in two instalments. The first would consist of all the rituals and the performance of traditional music and the second instalment is done with modern music where everyone is free to dance and it is when the big feast arrives.

Nature + lifestyle = Creativity
Considering Cambodia as one of the 3rd world countries, you would find that the lifestyles of an individual is full of hardship. You would not find facilities and have easy access to some of the resources you would find at home. So how would they be able to get a hold of a guitar?
Well as indicated in our page " Cambodian Instruments" most would identify that a majority of the instruments are made from natural resources like wood, string, bamboo, animal skin etc. So with the knowledge of simplicity around in their lifestyle, many citizens would gather and find scraps or utilities to make instruments. How cool is that! Whether it be cans, leaves, string, wood, many of the street musicians would be playing out of instruments made from their own hands.
Some of you might say that the fact is common around the world and that there is nothing amazing about grabbing a used peas can and banging on it with a chopstick, wait until you see this.
