SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE MEKONG trailer

This is the trailer for Sleepwalking Through The Mekong, the documentary film featuring Dengue Fever. The two disc set, including the DVD of the film and the film's soundtrack, will be released on April 14, 2009 in the US. The film chronicles the journey taken by Los Angeles based Khmer rock band Dengue Fever to lead singer Chhom Nimols native Cambodia during the 2005 Water Festival. The bands performances there marked the first time a Western band had performed classic 1960s and 70s Cambodian rock n roll in the country where it was created and nearly erased from existence by the brutal Pol Pot regime.

Now that I've discovered these people I think I'd better see this film someday. I already was a fan of original Indochinese rock that I found on YouTube, and Dengue Fever is doing a fabulous thing with it.

Only 2 comments? Dude!

I read a review about this DVD and immediately became intrigued by the band (I'm a big fan of any Asian music, especially stuff influenced by American pop styles), and I can't wait to finally see this documentary. It looks fascinating.
