Please people don't fight. Both of you are so beautiful and it will be a loss if both your cultures are no more. Thank you for preserving all your culture. It is so beautiful.

Thank you for still being here. Your endurance is testifying. This is the first KZread video I ever watched and it filled me with wonder more than you can imagine.

This dance and music is simply amazing...I have been listening to this music for many days and never got bored of it. Beautiful history and culture and an equally elegant dance style...Someday I'd want to visit the Angkor Vat.

Yup

Sorry to say all of Thailand except for Siam was once Cambodia, we lost it in the 1900's. The only part of the land that we got back was all of Battambang in 1953. My great grandpa and grandfather was in that war. Thanks for sharing.

My dance teacher was one of the survivors.. She said that she saw the other dancers getting killed.. And I'm Khmer although I don't speak it that well because I was born in america. Nice job on the dance though. These people did WAY better than I did. Flexibility counts the most. >_

such a beautiful dance, so graceful and elegant, love from usa

it doesn't matter whether is Indian or Cambodian.... this is a beautiful masterpiece..... we all humans, brothers...

Still my favourite Sovann Macha video

In fact it is a part of Ramayana's story-- Hanuman is one of Preah Rama's bodyguards. Hanuman met a mermaid on one of the journeys for Preah Rama-- he is courting her in this dance.

Diggin' this guy's dance.

i used to watch this on dvd back then. damn, i could of made a copy of it.

ស្រឡាញ់ណាស់

Beautiful Dancer and Dance so eligant!

reminds me of when my older sis was dancing at the temple when i was younger...Wish i could see that again.

I Love my Cambodian Culture... Khmer culture is so rich and beautiful..it's the best in the world. I'm glad we are rising up into popularity now.

Grace and beauty of a profound nature, thank you for uploading.

I'm not interested in arguing the way all these weird, negative people are arguing on here. This is an awesome Khmer dance and the accompanying music is beautiful. I love Hanuman!! He's such a cool hero in the mythology of both Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. That's all that matters here. No need to post nasty, intentially inflammatory comments about Khmer vs. Thai or Indian vs. Khmer blah blah blah. Just enjoy the beauty of this video and be positive, and spread positivity=)

This is still my favourite performance. Both of them are so good, she's so beautiful, and the dance is so lovely. The music too... love these traditional singing so much...

What does he say to her? HOw does he get her to like him? This dance is exquisitely preposterous-- he's a monkey, and pretty rude in his manners but wonderful in his heart, and she sees that and accepts his eccentricities. So poetic and beautiful. I've heard that this is a classic dance-- is it truly hundreds of years old, the choreography?

This is so beautiful. Creativity such as this makes life and humanity seem so miraculous. I'd love to visit Cambodia some day...

I'm Khmer and I hate to see Khmer and Thai attacking each others. It's time for Khmer and Thai to call each others brother and sister.

beautiful dance !!!! Khmer Cultur is so unique

im thai and a thai dancer and i agree that our goverment is wack! I know this is politics and stuff but can't we all stop fighting? I do appreciate traditional khmer dancing! I love thai dancing and i do think that are traditional dancing are quite almost the same! khmer dancing and thai are quite different by the hand movements, design of costume, and etc. I'm just saying that thai people and khmer people should stop fighting. we're all here to enjoy the video right?(:

i blelieve this one..

Joy m'daai!!

Beautiful, thanks for posting!

Thai classical dance

This was very beautiful. First time I have seen this dance style. The mermaid is beautiful, and their costumes are wonderful.

beautiful music and dance. thank you for the post.

jai yo Khmer !!! Khmer Cultur is very rich !

This story comes from the Ramayana in India and this story appeared in Southeast Asia is also so it's normal to have almost the same dance. You have to read a bit before speaking!

I love Thailand

🙏🙏🇰🇭😍🇰🇭🇰🇭😍😍😍

Just discovered this KZread channel. Sad there are no news videos uploaded. But looks like very authentic Khmer culture. My mom and dad are cambodian and we are living in France. I have never be influence by Khmer culture because it's very rare to hear music, have books etc...

@@souldancersbyjennifer oooh ok i didn't know the term. Never heard of it before, I'm sorry. Thank u for telling me. I really don't know much about Khmer culture even though my parents are Khmer.

I have seen both Thai classical dance and Khmer Apsara dance, both are very nice but , I find more Apsara dance more artistic and more religious in nature.

this is one of my fav dance im just a kid.

@AbsoluteWinner No it mean Rama or (in Khmer) Preah Ream heritage not eldest heritage.

We never changed our country name. Kampuchea is always Kampuchea. Cambodia is English revered from Khmer Kampuchea and in Sanskrit is Kambuja. Our Khmer Kings were origin Indian from Kalinga and from Kambodja

Khmers own part of Indian culture because Khmer's ancestors were Indian-Khmer. I think Simoneeka has been explaining many times between "Influence and own". You don't say "Influence" when you own it.

Great video and nice film production. Where is this video from? Can I buy it online?

but u still can watch it any time u want on KZread

beautiful, graceful. I find a lot of similarities with Indian classical dance as well. The dance form is so graceful, expressive. The dancers in this video are very talented indeed. Love and regards from India

hey i have this dvd

Why won't you guys let the past be the past and focus on this remarkable dancing... if you appreciate Cambodian culture--cool. If not, then take your ignorant comments somewhere else with other ignorant people who have no lives and indulge on blaming others because of history. I'm more ethnically Chinese than Cambodian yet I embrace the Cambodian culture more because I was raised up that way and I'm DAMN proud to be Khmer. So please save us all the headaches...

i really love this song alot! i hope someone can put it on myspace so i can put it on my pagee.

yes it is, ancient Khmers were heavily influence by India including hinduism and buddhism. Infact Angkor Wat is a Khmer Hindu temple. And there many more connections.

i believe this is LorKru Tak, my son's teacher.

they also wear khben, soloy,avpong, sbai, and krama

@AbsoluteWinner where is copy angkor wat? i'll go to see. it might be something beautiful.

i'm indonesian and i know this is a khmer dance, i just know, because ancient indonesian kingdom (specially from Java) are friends with ancient khmer's kingdom,

eah i will try and change my ways because i see what im doing now, thanks to you....you opened up my eyes and i realize i am causing harm to innocent people who don't deserve to be blame for others mistakes, sorry man, i will set an example and think before i act. i didn't mean anything i said about your people, i've met more nice cambodians then mean ones,peace

Cambodia holds the purest form of this classical dance style...everyone else is a knock-off for the Khmer civilization was the greatest to rule southeast Asia.

l ove hanuman, he's my favorite ramayana character, heroic and comical.

We just want to let all of the foreigners know that Cambodians learned it from Thais. Cambodians did not the origin of the dance. It's Thai who created. Please understand us, a lot of Thai culture are thought to be other country's nowadays. We need to announce the correct information to the foreigners just before it's too late to protect them.

modern cambodian is a mixer of pali, mon , and sanskrit. like ched deh or chedi. ched is mon for temple and i think deh is pali.some harder khmere words are entirely pali, like soumonnuh and tonmonnuh , meaning happy and sad, so gump2gump is correct.

@Soksabai79 hmm.. what's Preah Vihear? a place in cambodia? i'll find out it.

And for more information, If u have a chance to come here in Bangkok, u'll find a lot of Khmer baggers holding the baby and looking for mercifulness at the flyovers around the city. In addition, most of babies were kidnaped by Khmer gang from the country or boder provinces and come to Bangkok. We can't do anything because if we catch them and send them back to Cambodia, they'll pass the border and return to that career ..

many cambodians have different story, and each family is from a different part.. Khmer didnt just start from one, it was combin with others like Maylasia too..

@5282A You see, the basic "Indian" culture is actually the north india, the ganges basin, which in turn influenced many areas like south east asia and others on the indian subcontinent.Brithish joined some of these indianized areas today called india, while the main gangetic culture had a huge change incorporating many things from islam and changing in a huge way, trying to fight Islam, like rigid purdah system in Rajasthan.

Dur' 2nd & 3rd Cntry. A.D./Budd..monk Bodhiharma went to Chna.He brought Breath' Yoga Tnch &Personal Enlightenment to Chna.He met all/greatest Philosophy.The Toasist called him TaMo(Namo). They share their phlo, and practice meditation to cultivate a strong spirit-body in which to achieve immortality.The greatest mysterious of all during confucien time. Then that how religious holiday festival had started and spreading over to Khm.

@jmsupawat how old is khmer khon?

I know how it's written in Khmer but Reamke/reamker is Khmer version of Ramayana, Indian epic. We adopted Hindu religion from India and the story came with the religion but we did not adopt the caste system. Ramayana was part Khmer royal court epic and it was performed in the royal court since ancient time. You can also see the carving of the churning milk at Angkor Wat. It tells the tale of how the world was created according to Hindu.

Thai is more beautiful than Cambodian i think!

what does khon too means?

coool they do this at the new years thing at the temple

@AbsoluteWinner He is only jealous because cambodia have a beatiful Cultur

@BrandedJaded what do u call this performance? mask dance? sincerely, i really what to know. it's all i want from this vdo

This reminds me of Bali, what with the Sarong and head pieces. Does this coincide with the Ramayana?

@5282A Not exctly, but the basic story and moral remains the same. Ramayan is diferent in different places, including in India itself.The differences are of small intricacies.Differences are like this sovan macha.Many indian versions talk of a monster which Shri Hanuman fought, while some do talk about a mermaid, but giving it less importance than khmer..

@PailinAC ทำอะไรนั่น

Ream means elder in the royal language but in this it is referring to Rama story or epic. Khmer people refer to Rama as Preah Ream.

is this like japanese noh? Just asking

you'd be surprised how many cambodians have mixed blood and don't really know it. i'm full chinese but don't speak a single word, and neither has my family for generations, but were still chinese, however hardly.

@Soksabai79 that u said thai copied angkor wat for thai royal place. i have ever seen in northwest of thailand, those place were own by old khmer kingdom. didn't u mean to the grand palace of thailand in BKK as well? i think i didn't see khmer style on that palace. it was built on 250years ago. not too long.

Ancient landscape of Cambodia is a country of a Thai

Funan is the mother of all SEA kingdom, Langkasuka is the first Malay Kingdom on the Malay Penunsula, people, pls your your history!

And Thai Hanuman was inspire from India not copy From Khmer. But Khmer royal Family that was captured in Thai Royal palace was taugtht to dance like this by Thai Royal family. and poor Khmer people today (that survived from Khmer rouge regime) never know and never learn about history. So thay don't know the truth , very poor.

@kundyavaraman Sirene d'or

oic....yea im full cambodian i hardly speak it cuz of family...

@KhmerWarrior7 Actually I dont know which are you talking about, so most probably, no, I dont.But would seriously love to know about it, and if you have the time, then can you please tell me, by sending me a message?I am an Indian who loves Khmer culture and would love to know about it as much as i can.

@5282A Depending on the methods of counting, three hundred[1] to as many as thousands of versions of the Indian epic poem the Ramayana are known to exist. The oldest version is generally recognized to be the Sanskrit version attributed to the sage Valmiki.

the above, that's what thaiprince85 wrote to me.

Guys.. im cambodian... aka Khmer.. and I learned this dance.. but a simpler version.. its REALLY REALLY FUN!! :DDDD soo yeah just wanted to get that out.

@Soksabai79 oh! i just recognized about them xDDD no no u was wrong. they saw cambodain flag but they still continue walking. that's way they r in jail til present :P so, how do u see khmer style on the grand palace at BKK? explain and give me for example please =)

is that Khon? (mask dance) awww i just know that khmer have knon too.

well, thank you for sharing and for all the Thais who ever had watched this and who will be watching this, if you guys hate or want to insult Cambodian or Cambodian's culture and traditional plz, post your comments some where else and if you think you are the better one then, act as a pro and proof it and if you are not, you are nothing, but just a SCUMBAG!!! thanks

@jamemi007 จริงเดะ แล้วของเรามีมาเท่าไหร่อ่ะ?

@vevy1981 Yes, but Khmer has about 1300 years more history than Thailand/Siam and created this form of dance. Thailand learned from Khmer and then made it their own.

Damn it everytime I watch a video about Khmer culture there is always bickering between a Thai and a Khmer in the comments. Can't you all just enjoy the video?

where u get this from? I though it was call Mon-Khmer.. just like Native Indians, is who we were, but we were not like them, where more of big village.. then an idian guy came to introduce his cutlture.. then later on we adopted many from them, but not all is theres.. but give me that info on Northern India.. so you can prove my info wrong.. tnanks..

@kikuyaki Thanks for the info :)

SEA culture is created by the Khmer Kings origin from Kalinga and from Kambodja of India and Khmer people owned Indian culture in SEA. All SEA countries included Thailand and Vietnam lost to the European. Thailand has many foreign graves when the British bombing Thailand Nazi committed war crime during WWII.

Excuse my ignorance, but is Khmer culture in any way related to Hindu culture? In Hinduism, Hanuman is a deity who belonged to monkey clan. He was also a big devotee of Lord Ram. Also I watched the other Khmer dance video and it said "Apsara" dance. In sanskrit, Apsara is the word for angel. Seeing so many similarities, I was just curious to know about the Khmer culture. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

This dance is beautiful. Thai or Siam traditional dance cannot match with Khmer. Khmer traditional dance is slow, soft movement. But Khmer attitude is firm and strong. I want you to know that Khmer do not copy, steal any of Thai culture. Thai steal any thing from Khmer when Thai have a chance. A lot of pick pocketers in Bankork. Watch out.

Ok, who revised the The Thai house, Thai silk, and wrote composed the Thai national anthem? westerns, so the Thai culture is mixture of of the culture of the people that have lived the area for thousands of years including Khmer. Lombhury and Ayuthyia were part of Khmer ancient cities..

cambodians do that too you know, and the full blooded khmers are usually dark, if your light skinned, then you most likely have some chinese/forgien blood in you, somehow, sometime ago.

@BrandedJaded u know, what i first said here? i just ask that khmer have khon as well? something like that. then your people came to mess up with out given knowledge. he didn't answer my question. i'll not say bad to khmer if they r not disturb me.

to OasisOwner If u were here, u'll find that Thai ppl are generious and open thier mind to everyone. And if u were me and have that experience, I really want to know what would you say??? And if u were Thai ppl and saw that ur heart of nation's pictures were stumped by the people and ur friends onece were endanger with these people that u have helped when that country had a civilwar (Remember that??). I'm sure that u wouldn't say I am a dicriminate.

@jmsupawat - програмаВсичко

If you go and read the whole page of this video, it's Thai people who come here insulting to Khmer people. It's Thai people who started first. Thai astrology just tells that Thailand will have bad thing coming up in Thailand. Thai like you need to look at your country first before insulting Cambodia.
