| Indeed, they killed all of Cambodia’s well known artists and singers and destroyed all Khmer language modern music recorded before 1975. Only Khmer Rouge Communist Propaganda songs were produced during their regime. The people have no rights to own or listen to the Radio or Cassette player. If they found out one would be charged as an enemy against Angka ( the Khmer Rouge organization). Their music was composited from Khmer traditional increments such as drump, Khim, Tro and flute. |

Khieu Samphan
Born in Svay Rieng province around 1931, Khieu Samphan earned a doctorate in France; his thesis was on Cambodia’s economy. He was elected to the national assembly in 1962 and 1966. He became a Central Committee member in 1971 and was designated as State Presidium chairman of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976,
succeeding then Prince Norodom Sihanouk as chief of state. In 1977, Khieu Samphan reportedly became chairman of “Office 870,” which operated as a form of cabinet for the CPK Central Committee. While this was not formally a decision-making post, the chairman of Office 870 had the duty “to keep track of the implementation” of the Standing Committee's policy decisions. |
