This recording preserves original music created by Chum Ngek and Sara Say for Agangamasor & His Magic Power, a theatrical production in 2009 by the Cambodian Buddhist Society Cultural Group in Silver Spring, MD [Buddhisamāgam Khmaer (Silver Spring, Md.)]. Agangamasor & His Magic Power is the prequel to Reamker, a uniquely Khmer adaptation of the Indian Ramayana, one of the most ancient epic myths still known today.-- https://folkways.si.edu/agangamasor-and-his-magic-power Notes on the recording and the project, and the lyrics and retelling found at https://folkways-media.si.edu/docs/folkways/artwork/SFW50410.pdf
