Khmerican Rapper in the US Sheds New Light on Killing Fields
Four decades after the Killing Fields began, Cambodian-American rapper praCh (Prach Ly) brings a modern take on the horror to the Asia Society Texas Center.
In 2000, the California-based Cambodian refugee passed out copies of his album "Dalama … The End'n Is Just the Beginnin' " at a Cambodian New Year party in Long Beach, Calif. The album found its way to Phnom Penh and hit No. 1 in Cambodia. It also educated a younger generation of Cambodians about a dark chapter in their country's history.
Ly raps in Khmer and English, focusing on the Killing Fields era. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Killing Fields, sites in Cambodia where more than a million people were killed by the Khmer Rouge, a Communist regime, between 1975 and 1979.
Due to the nature of praCh's performance, this will be a standing-room only event. No seating will be provided.
What: Performance/lecture by praCh (Prach Ly), a Cambodian-American rapper
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Asia Society Texas Center, 1370 Southmore
Cost: $15; $10 members
Information: 713-496-9901 or http://www.asiasociety.org/texas
