It is so nice to be living in these day and age. I can listen to new kind of Khmer music. Now I understand why many Cambodian in the USA always listen to “oldies” because that is all we have to bring with us during the escape. My family listen to a lot of the “oldies” now I finally know the significants. I’m currently keeping up with Sok ‘Cream’ Visal hip-hop and the rock Coconut Band
glad that you understand now why old people like olddies, i believe as written in the article, it’s because they could find themselves again, it’s because they missed the good time.
