Summary:
"The true story of beloved
Cambodian
singer Ros Serey Sothea, whose "
Golden
Voice
" helped define Cambodia'
s
Golden
Age of music until her mysterious disappearance in the killing fields of Pol Pot'
s
Khmer Rouge. There is a saying in Cambodia: Music is the soul of a nation. Perhaps no one embodied that spirit more than Ros Serey Sothea, a young woman who would forever change the landscape of
Cambodian
music as the
Queen
with the
Golden
Voice
. From a humble rice farmer to nationally recognized singer, Sothea's success captured the hearts of the Khmer people. Throughout her life, she recorded over 500 songs, her signature angelic
voice
soaring over genres from traditional ballads to psychedelic
rock
and beyond. As the
Cambodian
civil war raged, Sothea's singing career continued to flourish, even when she served in the army as one of the country'
s
first female paratroopers. After years of bloody conflict, the communist Khmer Rouge seized control, murdering artists and destroying their music, bringing Cambodia'
s
golden
age into a dark era of silence. Sothea's fate is unknown. Ros Serey Sothea's
golden
voice
lives on in the popular music of Cambodia to this very day. Gone but not forgotten, her legacy continues to inspire. The
Golden
Voice
tells the story of Sothea's life, developed alongside the surviving family who knew her, and accompanied by an interactive soundtrack"--From publisher.
