They form a semi-classical orchestra where they play traditional songs in a contemporary style. BosbaPANH and her band “La Compagnie BosbaPANH” aim at reviving the type of concerts directed by young Prince Norodom Sihanouk in the early 1960s as well as the glamorous style of Sin Sisamouth, widely known as “the Khmer Golden Voice”.
La Compagnie BosbaPANH sings for children that come from several cultures like BosbaPANH and for parents who are seeking to keep their children in touch with their native country.
Above all, BosbaPANH and her musicians want to promote the music and culture of Cambodia.
