Sin Setsochhata carries on a music legacy
Tue, 19 January 2021
As a child, Sin Setsochhata had tagged along with her father when he would sing on stage and by the time she was a teenager she was already familiar not only with performing on stage but also with composing music and writing lyrics for her own songs.
But she often felt like all anyone would ever want to hear were the songs of her famous grandfather, the legendary Sin Sisamouth, perhaps Cambodia’s most celebrated singer from its pre-war period of cultural renaissance.
