Toph is a good friend, excellent DJ and is all round good peeps. His respected column was in XLR8R magazine for many years. Since the sale of XLR8R resulted in many writers being dropped, I offered Toph a place on R360 for his great writing and to keep Lucky 13 going.
Hi,
I am working with this music school in Cambodia to help support saving 2,000 years of music from vanishing,
Please vote for this video on Current TV and forward to friends to help try and get it onto TV. thanks.
This is the first report from Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) and deals with the Cambodian evictions from the land grab that has effected the students and the masters.
Presented by Arn Chorn-Pond. These reports were filmed, edited and completed by the students in cambodia. The DVD was then flown from Cambodia to the USA so they it could be uploaded to sites like iReport.
Approximately ninety percent of Cambodia’s performing artists died during the Khmer Rouge regime, a devastating blow to all of Cambodia’s oral traditions. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, this cultural tragedy was compounded by two subsequent decades of economic hardship, when very few of the surviving master musicians could make a living performing or teaching.
If you want to support the school buy a song on itunes. 100% of income minus itunes cut goes back to CLA.
