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.
