Young Cambodians are becoming increasingly involved in “hip hop culture.’’ Dance, music, fashion—all the elements of hip hop are present these days in the streets. Singers (rappers) and dancers (The Tiny Toons and Belle) perform regularly.
A Cambodian style is being born. Phnom Penh Hip Hop is the first cooperative and promotional event for this new culture, presented from all angles.
The project includes a two-week training / creation workshop, thanks to first-rate dancers from the very summit of world hip hop arriving from France and Germany: Storm, Sébastien Ramirez and Raphael Hillebrand.
They will work with young Khmer hip hop dancers from Tiny Toons Compagny and also with the exceptional Cambodian dancer Belle (traditional dance) to prepare original pieces to be presented during the festival.
Three evenings of hip hop dance, organized at the Chenla Theater,will bring together these dancers, along with a French hip hop company, Accrorap.
Finally, the festival will close with a big musical evening event on the Wat Bothum esplanade. Pontoon will also organise a Hip Hop party.
Phnom Penh Hip Hop is organized by a partnership between the CCF of Cambodia and Meta House.

Im glad there are going to be more Khmer rap music. Unfortunately, it is hard to get the CD from Cambodia since I live outside Cambodia. I wish I can buy the CDs online like anything else out there.
