Rom kbach

Rom kbach (Khmer: រាំក្បាច់) is a genre of Cambodian popular music and a popular Khmer dance style. Rom kbach has a slower emotional melody similar to Thai music,[1] whereas the Chamrieng Samai music category of romvong has a faster tune.[2] The two main cultural dance styles of Cambodia are the romvong and rom kbach, however the lam leav and saravan dance styles are also popular.[3] They have their roots in ancient cultural traditions.
