Sinn Sisamouth (Khmer-1935–1975) was a famous and highly prolific Cambodian singer-songwriter in the 1950s to the 1970s.Widely considered the "King of Khmer music", Samouth, along with Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron, and other artists, was part of a thriving pop music scene in Phnom Penh that blended elements of Khmer traditional music with the sounds of rhythm and blues and rock and roll to make a Westernized sound akin to psychedelic or garage rock. Samouth is believed to have been killed under the Khmer Rouge regime in November 1975.

Most of us have had a lifetime's enjoyment of Sin Si Samouth's music. But as we know, none of his surviving family have received any royalties from his tremendous body of work. As a small gesture of appreciation, some members of KhmerWitica have set up a collection of donations to be given to his family.
