Cambodian Rap/History   MP3 Sound File Posted Dec 02/04 Runs 3:07

At 25, Cambodian American rapper, praCh, has gone from immigrant hiphop wannabe to being a true organizer and advocate for Cambodia's history and people---making the rap and the beats his own.  Intent and self-effacing in person, he poured his story out to a recent classes of Punahou writing students when he realized they were unfamiliar with the Killing Fields,  the genocidal reign of Pol Pot that extinguished 2 million Cambodians between 1975-79.  praCh's cd, Dalama..."the lost chapter", is almost cinematic in concept; definite impact.  Check www.mujestic.com for more.
