Ethno Cambodia is a week-long music workshop for young musicians and singers from Cambodia, the Mekong Region, and beyond, with a passion for sharing, learning, and teaching traditional music.
Young musicians live and learn together, share music and cultures to each other. Every participant is a student and a teacher at the same time.

Through a combination of workshops, jam sessions and performances, these young musicians share their musical heritage with each other and at the end of the workshop, they play and celebrate it together as one large ensemble in two public concerts.

Ethno Cambodia 2019 took place in Siem Reap from January 7 through 14. Ethno Cambodia is a project of Cambodian Living Arts’ Heritage Hub. Ethno is a program of JM International.

A very big thank you to 60 Road Studios for the live mix and recording.

Ethno Cambodia is supported by Japan Foundation Asia Center, Cambodian Children’s Fund, Mekong Cultural Hub, Phare the Cambodian Circus, Memoire Hotels & Resorts, and 60 Road Studios.

Cambodian Living Arts’ (CLA) mission is to be a catalyst in a vibrant arts sector, inspiring new generations. Established in 1998, our original goal was to keep Cambodia’s endangered intangible heritage alive. As the context of Cambodia changed, and a new generation of artists began to emerge, we started running scholarships, fellowships and professional development training, whilst creating job opportunities and encouraging cultural entrepreneurship. To support the transforming environment, we also engage in cultural policy advocacy, support the development of arts education in public schools and build new audiences for arts. Our programs aim to give artists the resources and opportunities to start telling stories of contemporary Cambodia — from local stages, schools and community spaces, to international audiences across the world.
