Welcome to Episode 3 part I of the Sori Podcast - this time from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

In this episode I have the privilege of meeting with Arn Chorn Pond the founder of Cambodia Living Arts as we consider how music helps us to transcend suffering and how a person’s life can become an act of forgiveness. 

Featured Song: Time To Rise by VannDa (feat. Master Kong Nay) 2021 Baramey Production.

Some of the content of this podcast might be distressing to you if you have experienced war or genocide, it is the hope of Arn and I that through the courage to be vulnerable it may give you hope to find your voice and your music.
