@naruto10119 yeah i wasn't quite sure how Ravana would be pronounced in khmer mythology. i was thinking of putting captions on the ending photos, but i was very anxious on posting this video up! =D so i didn't really have the time to do so. thanks for commenting.
@sivhengu I'm sorry but I'm not personally trained nor danced by professional dance teachers. I'm still researching more about the movement by watching more khmer classical dance videos. thank you very much for your comment =)
@KoneAngkor thank you for your kind and powerful words, i really do appreciate it. i don't have much to say, but thank you very much for your words. =)
@Krittayot95 yes, Cambodia had the cape-like sbais before the 1950's. unfortunately, those sabis are longer in use. the dance went through changes which excluded a few costume pieces during the reign of HRH Queen Sisowath Monivong Kossomak Neary Rath Vattana.
Beautiful video Chan! Some pointers-its more common to refer to Ravana as Krong Reap and it would be nice to identify the images at the end. The boung soung was quite rare.
Can u share with us some of the signs? I only know very few and like to learn more. Keep up the good work my friend! and thanks for everything you have done for our culture!
@kirammark yes indeed! its very complicated to know the meaning of the dance, unless a person is trained with dance masters and professionals. this type of dance is scarce because its based on oral traditions.
Our cultural heritage from Great Khmer Empire is AMAZING and its the BEST CULTURE on earth............long life Khmer nation and long life Khmer Kingdom forver.............Hahaha..............555555555555555555555555555
@ChantawryP intense training and painful bending of the hands/ wrists. dancers are trained to bend their fingers backwards until it touches the wrist. sounds excruciating, but this what makes the dance perfectly graceful. =)
@lchan90a Yeah, in khmer mythology most ogre kings are called "krong..." one thing or another. He's also known as Tousamuk, or ten heads- tousak means ten and muk means head or face. Tousamuk is a less common name though.
Love the vintage and black & white pics. Thx 4 the upload. I got 2 check the book out. beautiful!

It comes from Dasha Mukha ( 10 heads) =Ravana the evil King who kidnapped Rama 's wife Sita (Indian Ramayana Story)
Beautiful
