With the seventh installment of Pavarotti & Friends: For Cambodia and Tibet, the beloved tenor assembles yet another all-star cast of musicians in hopes of helping the children of Cambodia and Tibet. The music of the pop stars--which ranges from the modern rock of the veteran Eurythmics to the dance-pop of Aqua--really steals the show here, with Pavarotti lending his impeccable vocal support. Tracy Chapman performs "Baby Can I Hold You" as a duet with Pavarotti, and Eurythmics team up with him on "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)." Of course, the tenor's fans will be begging to hear the opera great in his element, and it's no surprise that he shines on Bizet's "Agnus Dei," with international pop star Mónica Naranjo joining in; Eduardo Di Capua's "O Sole Mio," with Savage Garden; or even Luigi Denza's "Funiculi, Funicula," with Aqua and a children's chorus. As globetrotting benefit tributes go, this is a mixed bag, but there's probably something here for everyone. --Jason Verlinde

Excellent video...........2002-10-13

I am a fan of Savage Garden, The Eurythmics, and George Michael - all of them did a great job with and without Pavarotti....

And the man who sang O SOLE MIO - Darren Hayes (formerly of Savage Garden)... has the most beautiful- angelic- sultry and great voices I have ever heard - and to do it in Neapoliaton Italian (dialect) and in my opinion the best duet of ALL of them featured!!!!!

Great songs sung by a diverse group of artists.......2002-02-07

As always, Maestro Pavarotti's Modena concerts are highly entertaining and uplifting.
All artists sang two songs during the concert (one on their own and another with Maestro Pavarotti), but unfortunately not all of the songs are featured on this video. Another shortcoming is that there are no interviews or any extra footage.

It is funny to hear Pavarotti sing a pop tune as it is equally funny to see a pop singer with virtually no voice doing "O Sole Mio", but if it is all in good spirit and for charity, then it is enjoyable.

If you are intersted in European music scene or simply love Pavarotti, this tape will be a great treat for you.

Pavarotti's Best War Child Concert.......2002-01-04

Bravo showed this concert on New Years 2002 and it blew my mind. It is certainly the best of the War Child concerts, which started in 1996 as Pavarotti's effort to help the children of war-torn countries.
Like in the previous concerts, Pavarotti appears with international pop stars in the open-air piazza of his home town, Modena, Italy. (How do I get tickets for that?)
If you haven't heard any of these concerts, also available on CDs, you will be surprised how well Pavarotti's voice--a voice that makes the gods swoon--blends with the likes of Enrique Iglesias, George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and the Eurythmics. Previous concerts included B.B. King, Elton John, Ricky Martin, and Liza Minelli. Sometimes he sings along in English, sometimes in Italian counterpoint. The effect is stupdendous! These concerts display all the beauty of this great operatic voice while at the same time honoring the art of our greatest pop artists.
What makes this video the best is the children's chorus, the combined Ars Canto of Parmi, Italy, and the Children's Choir of Cambodia and Tibet. The video starts with this chorus joining Pavarotti and the totally sexy Enrique Iglesias in a rousing "Cielito Lindo."
Pavarotti really knows entertainment and in this one he pulls out all the stops! Best of all, part of the proceeds of this tape goes to benefit the children of Cambodia and Tibet. Pavarotti's efforts to help War Child have already built music centers for children in Kosovo, Liberia, and Guatemala. What great leadership!
He says on one of his jackets: "All too often, children are betrayed by the inhuman actions of adults, and become the innocent victims of war and cruelty. War Child is an energetic, and practical organization offering vital hope, working tirelessly for children to regain their rightful place in the world."

Very diverse! Loved it!.......2000-12-18

I am a HUGE Savage Garden fan so that was the main reason to buy this album. And I have to say Darren's voice is AWESOME in "O Sole Mio", the first time I listened to it it made me cry. So I bought the cd. I was glad to see that there are very enjoyable songs in the album not only the SG tracks. I loved Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You Tonight" performance, now I am a Tracy fan too. You'll enjoy the performances by Aqua, Enrique Iglesias and Eurhytmics and of course the queen Tracy Chapman " ("Telling Stories" is superb!). I even discovered some new artists I had never heard of and I liked them. You won't be disappointed by this album.

A wonderfully enjoyable and diverse collection of music.......2000-11-05

This collection of music has given me great pleasure. Aqua's Around the World is a joy. Hearing the Eurythmics and Pavarotti perform together is fun and beautiful. I also especially liked Enrique Iglesias's Be with you. 20 tracks and 77 minutes of great music I will listen to again and again. And all for a good cause.

Named for a remarkably unpleasant tropical disease, Dengue Fever is a seething Petri dish of mutating influences. The band was spawned when the American founders became fascinated by an unlikely combination of Cambodian music and Buda Musique's multi-volume Ethiopiques series, which documents that country¹s sixties pop heyday. Meanwhile, their future lead singer, famed Cambodian chanteuse Ch'hom Nimol, had grown up with East Asian/American hybrids which had erupted when local musicians internalized and transformed sounds they heard on Vietnam-war-era American Armed Forces Radio. Churning, vertiginous rhythms and honking sax lines betray the Ethiopian sources while stratospherically ornamented yet demure Cameroonian folkways inform the lead vocals (sung in English and Khmer) and Zac Holtzman¹s dan bau (a Vietnamese mono-string instrument). But the mix further incorporates campy organ riffs straight out of Question Mark and the Mysterians, the Shangri-Las' stiletto-edged girl-group theatrics and Ennio Morricone¹s surreal Spaghetti Western guitars. The group's stage persona is equally eclectic, ranging from a sweet-faced "Oriental" B-movie heroine, to a guy whose beard would scare the heck out of ZZ Top, to a latter-day Super-Fly clone. A testament to following your own star no matter what, Escape from Dragon House is at once blindingly authentic in the cosmic sense and delightfully deranged. --Christina Roden

Album Description

On "Escape From Dragon House" the sound is denser, thicker and richer than on their 2003 self titled debut. Escape From Dragon House is darker musically and lyrically with a fully relized style melting all of their incluences into one realized voice that's pure Dengue Fever.

Customer Reviews:

AAAAH it's SOOO good.......2007-03-03

crazy hypnotic world-ish music that sounds like Asian Dave Matthews Band. listen and let your mind get blown.

A very good album...again........2006-08-29

This second album of Dengue Fever is as almost good as the first. I think some of the songs at the end ain't too good. But the tunes 1-7 is perfect, maybe?

All over, it's a good album, fun to listen.

Awesome.......2006-08-17

This is so cool to hear this eccletic fusion of classic Khmer singing with all types of western instruments! I love it!

Give us Dengue Fever or kill all the Karoakee stars.......2005-12-24

I never thought that this is possible-the Americans playing my favorite oldies. I'd love to see the band hook up with Sothy (Boxing Music) because his lyrics are out of this world. I'm waiting for the next chapter. I'm freaking out of my mind knowing my brothers and sisters in Kampuchea are appreciating the difference. I'm so damn proud to have good tastes in good music like all my brothers and sisters. Damn pol pot would have like to put today's Karoakee stars to good use. Chhom Nimol is damn fine and hotter than a Phnom Penh's morning in April. She is sizzling HOT!!

Escape From Dragon House.......2005-11-30

This is the most breath taking cd ever.
I loved every second of it the first time I heard it, and I kept on loving it even after the cd was done spinning.
Very high reccomendation.

Album Description

2003 debut on the Mimicry label is multicultural pop featuring the vocals of Cambodian emigre Chhom Nimol (all the vocals are sung in Khmer). Retro surf guitar, the throwback psychedelic tone of the Farfisa organ, rhythms on songs like 'Pow Pow' that conjure visions of James Bond dancing the Swim in a Hong Kong nightclub, as well as the absence of any post-punk or disco residue, create a sense of time displacement. This music could just as easily have been heard decades ago, long before American demographics had absorbed Asian pop influences. 12 tracks.

not as good as the 2nd album but still fabulous.......2007-03-03

heh i just got back from 10 days in cambodia...didn't get a chance to hit up any of the local music scenes but hearing this, i wish i had. anyway, this really is the yin to the second album's yang...mostly because once you're finished listening to "escape" you simply must have more of this intoxicating stuff.

Dengue Fever Music CD.......2006-11-10

Dengue Fever should never have try to play Cambodian Rock. Their songs selection is really bad and they sound aweful!

I love this band........2006-08-26

This is an album packed with good music. The singers voice is lovely (and her body ... she's hot!), the band is proffesional and the sound is a perfect mix.

It's easy to like, even I can't understand a word she's singing. I will look forward to get more from this band!

You should buy this CD, and listen to it a lot.

dengue way to go.......2005-12-21

I grew up with a family that listens to cambodian songs...although i am cambodia, i grew up here not speakin much of it, so i don't listen cambodian songs at all, because i don't really understand it. But when i heard about dengue fever..i was intrigue..i thought it was so cute seeing american people singing background vocals and playing the instrument for a cambodian lady. I 've heard most of the original songs that dengue fever resang, but with the recreate of vocals by adding in the band..i think this is great band, idea and CD...i think this band accentuate the life of what cambodian people are really about through their music with their unique combination of styles...we are fun and we love life..

Album Description

"If you can imagine a band where a Cambodian beauty queen shares the stage with Rasputin, Barry White, Allen Ginsberg, Michael Hutchence, and Brian Wilson, you'd have a pretty good idea of the group Dengue Fever." -- L.A. TIMES

"Her voice is swathed in reverb, becoming instantly mythic." -- THE WIRE

"The culture clash inherent to this band gives its debut a dynamic flair." -- TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Dengue Fever is at the vanguard of an emerging global pop sensibility, making familiar yet eerily unique music." -- KEXP

Fronted by Cambodian pop star Ch'hom Nimol, who sings in Khmer, Los Angeles sextet Dengue Fever blends the rhythms of sixties Cambodian pop--heavily influenced by American surf, rock, and early psychedelic garage bands--with their own eclectic mix of American and international styles. Unlike the world music bands of the late eighties, Dengue Fever is more concerned with a universal groove and breaking down musical barriers than with notions of authenticity. There are echoes of Bollywood soundtracks, Ethiopian soul, American R&B, Cambodian folk, Spaghetti Western weirdness, and girl-group angst in the mix, but the resulting concoction is the band's own.

On Escape from Dragon House, the sound is denser, thicker, and richer than on the group's 2003 self-titled debut. Escape from Dragon House is also darker, both musically and lyrically, with a fully realized style that melts all of the band's influences into one realized voice that is pure Dengue Fever.

Customer Reviews:

Wow, this is awesome!.......2007-05-13

I bought the original version of this CD after stumbling across Dengue Fever on the National Geographic world music website under Cambodia (even though the band is in Southern California -- where else!). What a find! From the moment I popped it into my CD player, I was hooked. I can't exactly claim to be a world music aficionado, but I do like to try different kinds of music from just about everywhere, and every once in a while I get lucky and find a real gem like this one.

I can't understand a word of Khmer, but that was no impediment to my falling in love with Chhom Nimol. Her voice is powerful, clear, and mesmerizing. The music feels kind of like a time warp. It makes me feel good. In trying to describe it, words like mod, cool, groovy, and funky come to mind. There's one track in particular, "One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula," that makes me feel like I'm dissolving or something; I don't know how else to describe it. How do they do that??? At first my wife thought I was going a little crazy listening to that -- but I think I've got her liking it now too. There are a whole lot of other great tracks here too. Give it a try -- you won't regret it! By the way, I also have their self-titled debut album and it has the same addictive effect on me.

Just the other day I bought this recently released enhanced version of this CD, partly because I was afraid of wearing the first one out. The bonus track is kind of fun, and the video is fantastic! The whole band looks really cool. It's psychadelic! -- I hope I can use that word here without giving the wrong connotation. And in case I haven't said it already, Chhom Nimol is beautiful.

I am beginning to see this as one of my best buys of the year. You buy something like this, whether you admit it or not, because you like the idea of being the sort of person who'd buy something like this. But every time I put it on, I find it hard to take off. It is rammed with ideas that are new to me, and tunes that should be known to more people. I'm still a way off from being able to sing along, but it is infectious, and it makes me feel good. Vanity paid off for once.

Album Description

On the walls of Angkor Wat, the famous bas-reliefs show the instruments of the Khmer Imperial court of a thousand years ago: double reeds, wooden xylophones played in pairs, unusual sets of metal gongs placed in circular frames, and drums. Incredibly, these instruments and much of the court music still survive today, despite the decimation of Cambodian arts and culture during the Khmer Rouge regime. This recording is the second in a three-volume series that reveals the mysteries of Cambodian music to the outside world. Following the rarely heard instruments and styles of the Angkor Wat region in the first volume, this volume of The Music of Cambodia series presents the beauty, refinement, and energy of the royal court music.

Although there is no royal court in modern Cambodia, the Cambodian government has fought mightily to preserve its fragile links to the glories of the ancient Khmer Empire. The dance and music of the royal court are considered very important links, and this recording features some of the finest musicians still living in southeast Asia. In addition, The Music of Cambodia, Volume 2, includes the popular Cambodian music ensemble known as Mahori, the magical trance and possession music of the Memut, and some literally breath-taking solos for reed, wood flute, and buffalo horn.

Recorded in Phnom Penh, this collection combines the authenticity of a field recording with the sonic excellence of a modern studio record. In one piece, the hazy shimmer of over-tones from the court ensemble's gong-chime instruments haunt the background of the performance, while the Cambodian oboe swirls atop a bed of precisely interlocking xylophone patterns. In another, the casting of a spell to ward off black magic is accompanied by the ever-accelerating rhythm of the trance music of the tribal Arak people. That these styles have survived is a tribute to the strength of Cambodian music.

Quite exquisite and very refined.......2000-10-18

Music Of Cambodia Vol. 2 Royal Court music contains some of the best recordings that I have heard so far from Cambodia. In this cd it features two of the most well known orchestras often associated with the royal court of Cambodian and is also related to the royal court of neighbouring Thailand. Pin-peat and mahori (mohori) orchestra. The pin-peat orchestra which featured in vol. 1 9 Gong Gamelan is much similar to the pin-peat orchestra featured here in volume 2. The instrumentations are the same, two bamboo or wooden xylophones, two sets of gong-chimes, one oboe, two large bass drums, horizontal barrel drum and metal clappers. In some of the tracks the music is very heavy especially with emphasis of the large bass drums in some of the tracks. In track three it is a very lively track with the xylophone, barrel drum, oboes, gong-chimes and metal clappers play this very hazy and jazzy style composition. Track six is a dance piece used to accompany the Apsara dance "Dance of the Celestial Nymphs" very beautiful and is also accompanied with female vocals. There are usually several different pieces of music that are played during a dance performance, also track seven is another dance piece called Tep-Monorom "Dance of the Heavenly Gods and Goddess for Happiness". The style is the same for track six however there is also an solo oboe performance in the piece near the end and the consulsion is very vibrant and strong especially due to the loud booming sounds made by the two large bass drums which concludes the dance. The second orchestra in this cd is the mahori orchestra, this orhcestra is much lighter in style than pin-peat. The orchestra is predominately made up of stringed instruments, wind and also percussion. The orchestra in this recording contains: roneat ek (xylophone with a high pitch), roneat thung (xylophone with a low pitch), a couple of tros (folk fiddle), takhe (three stringed wooden zither), khim (hammered dulcimer), kholy (flute or duct), skor thun (goblet drum), skor romunea (frame drum) and chhing (metal clappers) and is also accompanied with male and female vocals. The music is full of zest and drive due to the string instruments especially the takhe giving sharp and crisps notes when played as well as the mellow sounds of the folk fiddles accompanied by vocals at each strophe which can be delicate and quite light. This music can be played at any time or anywhere especially during the hot summer nights when there are cool breezes sweeping through the house of the verandah. This cd is good and contains a great deal of information about each piece however this cd is just two thirds of the box set. So I recommend that the box set, its worth it's value. I recommend this cd for anyone who wants something a little royal and exotic as well as refined.

Amazon's Title doesn't say it all.......2004-07-14

The full title is "...Folk & POP". This CD is all Cambodian Rock/Pop music, from the 60's &70's plus some more recent pop which thankfully retains the spirit and flavor of the older stuff. If you like vintage Bollywood, or the 70's Ethiopiques releases you needn't hesitate. This CD is another find for hunters of exotic or quirky fun music. The whole Sublime Frequencies series is excellent, with only a couple of discs that are merely 4 Star, this is one of thier best. The CD is also beautifully illustrated with artwork from the original cassettes. In addition to this disc, there is a seeminly out of print CD titled "Cambodian Rocks" which is even wilder than this one.

A Wonderful Experience in the Music of Cambodia.......2001-06-24

This is a wonderful CD. I will forever cherish it. I must have listened to this CD thousands of times, but it never gets old. The musicianship on this album is top-notch. I know that Kean's already done a great overview of the first few tracks, but I'll give you one anyway. Track one, Breu Peyney, is beautiful yet sad; a female vocalist accompanied by the chapey(Cambodian bass banjo), singing about the hardships of the Khmer Rouge era. Leng Suan is next, an energetic song that is part of the repetoire of the yikhe theatre. Drums and fiddle provide the accompaniment, and the vocals alternate from chorus to a single male. The lyrics speak of a girl picking flowers, used as metaphors for her desire. Track 3, Homrong, is one of my favorites in all the Khmer music i've heard. In this song, the phleng khmer orchestra(consisting of a folk fiddle, a low-pitched folk oboe, a chapey, a one-stringed instrument called a sadew, and an occasional vocalist),through its singer, gives praise to the master musicians, and asks for blessings from the gods. It gives off a very haunting mood, and this ensemble has a very rural flavor. Listening to track three(and seven), you can easily imagine yourself walking through the jungles of SE Asia and stumbling into a remote village during some sort of festivities. Track four, Robaim Tep Monorom, is from the repetoire of the pinpeat orchestra, consisting of xylophones, gongs, drums, occasional vocals, and an oboe as the orchestra's leader. This track has a lot of both beauty and energy. After the singers have finished their solos in the front-middle or the piece, the orchestra takes off with a very large oboe solo with very exotic drum patterns in the background. Track five, Norkor Reach, is another modern composition for chapey and voice, like track one. The lyrics also refer to the Khmer Rouge regime era. Track six, Luok Phsar, is another yikhe theater piece. This track features the famous Em Theay, a Khmer master singer who survived the Khmer Rouge horrors. The song's lyrics speak of how girls ought to stay inside and out of the sun, and tend to their beauty. Track seven, Tropeangpeay, is a beautiful, lively piece of the phleng khmer ensemble(see track three). The endearingly innocent lyrics speak of a scene of a boy and a girl(the girl being Tropeanpeay) helping each other bathe in a pool. The piece has a driving rhythm that accelerates towards the end, and keeps the listener interested. Track eight, Preah Chinnavong, is another pinpeat track with a more relaxed pace than track four, and a very majestic musical color. The lyrics speak of a story from an ancient Khmer legend. Track nine, Bohrapha, is PURE ENERGY. I'm not Khmer, so at first, the song's very non-western style and vocals took a little getting used to, but I was hooked in no time. The instruments used are a large, driving bass drum and a folk fiddle. The singing is high-paced and very fun, alternating between two main male singers and a chorus of what sounds like men, women, and possibly children. The drumbeats in this song, and also in a lot of Cambodian music, are almost identical to basic rock beats in Western pop music(All my American friends that don't like ethnic music that've heard such tracks also end up loving them). This song is absolutely addictive...everyone involved in the song is audibly having fun and various people make lots of festive, high-pitched trilling noises(think Mexico)in the background. The two main singers, at times, almost sound like they're holding back laughs. i can hear them in my mind's ear...."UHHHH! khon yeul pi neh aiyeu lang long trawsong! NGAAAA!" These people sound totally joyous, and the song invigorates and refreshes you down to your soul. Once track nine has you going about 120mph, it's time to go down to about 15mph for track ten. Track ten, Mohori Bompay, is a beautiful female vocal; a slow, short lullaby for a child. The singer, speaking as a mother, tells her child to use the mother as a pillow to rest his/her head. This CD is truly a jewel, and a must for anyone who likes Asian music. I'd also especially reccomend it to anyone that is thinking about getting a CD of music from the Thailand-Laos-Cambodia area(a huge percentage of traditional/classical music in Thailand and Laos is of Cambodian origin). This is a great introduction to many of the styles of this region. I only wish that this CD was a little longer...these musicians are wonderful and it is tragic that so little Cambodian music leaves the country's borders...but as I've said, the CD is a wonderful collection of Cambodians music. I rank it as my runner-up favorite Cambodian CD, along with Echoes from the Palace, a pinpeat CD by the Samang Sam Ensemble(and also tragically not available from seemingly any music/multimedia store...)....THIS CD ROCKS!! BUY IT! (~_~)

Great stuff (contents) and great cd.......2000-10-26

The album homrong is a very traditional Cambodian cd portraying from classical Cambodian music which would be associated with court dance right through to folk music often associated with the supernatural and other traditions by the common people of Cambodia. This cd presents in many aspects a variety of different kinds of music that are performed on different occasions. From the well known pin-peat orchestra accompanying classical court dances and featuring the voice of Em Theay who was just one of the few survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime through to the Phleng Khmer orchestra which is considered the most traditional and would be performed as part of traditional Khmer wedding ceremonies. The yikhe theatre much similar to likay theatre of neighbouring Thailand as well a as a few other new creations that were created by the National Dance Company, implying that some new styles are usually recreated from older styles of music giving them a new sense of life in many terms a kind of regeneration. This cd is a special and yet different one from all those that I have heard in a long time, showing a different variety of orchestras. Track one was a very touching and sad piece the song accompanied by a long neck lute called a chapey, describing about the Khmer Rouge regime and how the Khmer people suffered. In many ways it's quite nostalgic, a sense of time being lost and all other emotions brought on with the atmosphere and style of the music. Track two is a piece from the yikhe theatre and is an extract from the story called Neang Khar-Khey "The Unfaithful Woman" and describes the first meeting between her and the king in the royal garden. The music is very different and the style is quite lively with the loud beating of the drums, folk fiddle and vocals a typical of the yikhe style of singing. Containing extra zest and full of twists in the drumming pattern. Track three a traditional wedding piece performed by the Phleng Khmer orchestra, this style is very haunting and different for sure with the buzzing of the folk shawm, the male vocals paying homage and greeting the gods and spirits accompanied by other instruments in the orchestra. Track four is the traditional Pin-Peat orchestra, this piece is used to accompany a classical dance called Tep-Monorom "Dance of the gods and goddess of happiness". Overall this cd is great, something a little different for sure... from the folk styles which are quite lively to more stately and refined court orchestras. Full of twists and something different... great cd to have. However I am a little disappointed that they could have recorded more music in this cd though because it's pretty short by traditional Khmer music standards. Usually the time and duration of a cd produced with recording of Cambodian music they can run on for about more than 50 minutes or about 60 minutes, like other cds that I have heard. This cd is very beautiful and timeless in it's own style and many aspects showing that Khmer culture is making a come back after three decades of destruction, created by a new regime of the Khmer Rouge... If you would like to hear or know more buy the cd, it also contains information and notes regarding each track and some musical styles and also the artist who help create this cd... Great stuff...

The Homrong album is very interesting because it contains a variety of recordings of different types on music in Cambodia. There is the very well know pin-peat orchestra that accompanies Royal Classical Cambodian Dance, shadow theatre, masked theatre and other religious and monastic functions. In this recording Em Theay appears twice singing different songs. She is the master of classical dance songs. Thus implying that she was just one of the survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime. However she has managed to keep alive for so long, thus she is trying to rebuild from what the Khmer Rouge have have destroyed. Also included in this ablum are recording of pleng khmer (traditional wedding music) which has a hazzy atmosphere about it's mysterious style and composition. Plus also the well known Yikhe theatre with their songs about nature and celebrating human life. Overall this album helps to show the variety of Khmer music from court music to folk music which is often assoicated with every day life unlike court music which is played for special functions and other purposes. This ablum is unique displaying the different kinds of music in Cambodia, showing the orchestras and how different they are from another. This recording also helps to celebrate the revival of Khmer music which once again is being performed after so many years of war therefore manages it to live on through the musicians and singers who had managed to survive the nightmare of the Killing Fields. Therefore this album is unique in it's own flavour and style.
