AEG Live President Rob Hallett Visits Phnom Penh
The Mekong Sessions was honoured to host AEG Live President Rob Hallett this week in preparation for Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh on 27 November.
Hanging his hat in Phnom Penh for an A-Z inspection of the concert planning, Mr Hallett also toured the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum and travelled to Neak Leung to receive a traditional Buddhist blessing before visiting a local school to be supported through Cambodian Red Cross from partial proceeds of the concert.
Determined to make the Cohen concert “not just a blip in history”, Mr Hallett expressed his hope that AEG Live and the Mekong Sessions would bring European, American and Asian acts to Phnom Penh with Khmer support acts to inspire, build and re-energise a Cambodian music scene which was so prevalent in the 1960s.

Leonard Cohen and Sinn Sisamouth
In the first of an eight part series on Leonard Cohen's upcoming Phnom Penh concert, Mekong Sessions writer Jimmy Baeck draws comparsion between Leonard Cohen and revered Cambodian singer/songwriter Sin Sisamouth.
At 2.00am on Monday August 26, 1970, Leonard Cohen took the stage at the Isle Of Wight Festival. Despite the late hour and cold conditions, Cohen, long-haired, unshaven and wrapped in a baggy, brown jacket gave what is regarded as one of his greatest live performances in front of a mesmerized audience of thousands.
His performance included Bird On A Wire, So Long Marianne and Suzanne, songs which have come to be regarded as classics. It was the perfect mixture of music, poetry and drama, the combination of which has made Leonard Cohen one of the most loved and respected songwriter/performers in the world today.
At the same time, thousands of kilometers and a cultural eternity away on the other side of the world, Sinn Sisamouth had attained a similarly unique position in the hearts of the Cambodian people. By 1970, Sisamouth already had a career spanning almost two decades. Beginning in the early 1950s, Sinn Sisamouth, like Leonard Cohen, became an original and prolific artist. His original compositions are said to number in the thousands.
Sisamouth became popular for both his romantic ballads as well as a bunch of hip-shaking songs with a strong groove based on music that was coming into Cambodia probably from Vietnam through U.S. Armed Forces Radio. These songs were characterized by layers of distorted guitar, swirling organ and a heavy backbeat. Based on popular Western tunes of the 60’s and 70’s such as Woolly Bully, Hey Jude & If You’re Going To San Francisco they represent a fantastic body of music and demonstrate the ability of Khmer musicians and producers to adapt and re-invent Western music.
One very important talent that Leonard Cohen and Sinn Sisamouth share is their ability to write songs. Both of them have a distinctive style that presents their feelings about Love and Life, but does so in a manner that also reflects their culture at the time.
In keeping with the times in Cambodia, Sinn Sisamouth’s songs evoke a feeling of pastoral innocence; he regularly writes about love and betrayal. In a song called Smoke Breaks the String Of My Guitar, Sinn Sisamouth sings about being betrayed by his the dishonesty of his lover comparing a broken guitar string to his broken heart
The string of my guitar that she broke it floats around why so helpless
In the song, Have Pchum At Aranh, Sinn Sisamouth makes reference to Khmer traditions and refers to the belief that proper observance of the culture brings love and happiness with it.
In this Pchum season, where will we go sweetheart? Should we go to Kra Pourh Ha or Cham Par Reangsay Pagoda?
It is his ability to express his feelings and ideas in a simple yet poetic fashion that all Khmers can understand, that has ensured that his songs remain a part of contemporary Khmer culture.
In contrast, Leonard Cohen writes as much for himself as he does for an audience. His songs have the feeling of poems that have been put to music. Unlike the lyrics from most popular Western music, Leonard Cohen doesn’t allow himself to be limited by common conventions, giving his songs a very individual feeling. His lyrics are more confronting and challenging than Sinn Sisamouth. In one of his most famous songs Bird On The Wire he seems to be discussing the problems of trying to live his own life (rather than conforming to social expectations) and says:
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
When he talks of love his ideas are very romantic but they have little to do with marriage or tradition; they are more about the emotions and passion of love rather than social conventions. In Dance Me To The End Of Love Leonard Cohen writes:
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through your panic ‘til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Although they come from very different cultures, both Leonard Cohen and Sinn Sisamouth have earned a place of honor. It is testimony to their talent as artists that their music remains so popular.
Leonard Cohen will perform at the Olympic Stadium, Phnom Penh on November 27 2010.

Beneficiaries of Leonard Cohen's Phnom Penh Benefit Concert
Thanks to the exceptional generosity of Leonard Cohen and AEG Live, proceeds from the Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh concert on 27 November 2010 will benefit the Cambodian Red Cross and Cambodian athletes with a disability.
The exact beneificiaries from these proceeds are divided into three main sections:
1. The Olympic Stadium Phnom Penh
2. Cambodian Red Cross
3. Athletes with a Disability of Cambodia
1. The Olympic Stadium Phnom Penh
The immediate first phase of the beneficial input from the concert will see an international standard renovation of the indoor arena of the Olympic Stadium to include individual seating, a multi-purpose sports floor, dressing rooms and facilities. The result will be a permanent preservation of this important public space to be utilized and enjoyed by the people of Cambodia.
Increasingly prestigious events are planned at the venue as Cambodia places itself firmly on the map as a premier Asian destination for cultural and sporting events.
2. Cambodian Red Cross
The Mekong Sessions is proud of its association with Cambodian Red Cross and, by inviting globally renowned cultural icons to perform benefit concerts, is honoured to be able to contribute to CRC's ongoing humanitarian work.
The Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh concert at the Olympic Stadium will be performed under the patronage and in the presence of Lok Chumteav BUN RANY HUN SEN President of Cambodian Red Cross, marking it as one of the ASEAN gala cultural events of the year.
The Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) is the largest humanitarian organization in Cambodia. Established on 18 February 1955, it is officially recognized by the Royal Government as an auxiliary to the public authorities in humanitarian services to relieve the sufferings of the most vulnerable.
Acknowledged by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on October 7 1960, the CRC was admitted as a Member of the International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies (the Federation) on 8 October 1960. However, during the Khmer Rouge Regime (1975-1979), all Red Cross activities in Cambodia were suspended and the CRC's seat in the General Assembly of the Federation was left vacant. Between 1979 and 1994, the CRC lost its national unity as each of the four warring factions in Cambodia set up their own Society within their respective areas of control. However, the NS was reunified in 1994 and the CRC was reinstated to the Federation.
The Seven Fundamental Principles of the RC & RC Movement
Proclaimed in Vienna in 1965, the seven Fundamental Principles bond together the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, The International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. They guarantee the continuity of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and its humanitarian work.
Humanity
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, co-operation and lasting peace amongst all people.
Impartiality
It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
Neutrality
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
Independence
The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement.
Voluntary Service
It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
Unity
There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.
Universality
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
3. The Athletes with a Disability of Cambodia
Starting with a simple mandate in 1995: ‘to raise awareness of disability and landmines in Cambodia’, the Cambodian National Volleyball League (Disabled) - CNVLD has successfully established the world’s only national standing volleyball league, nurtured a Cambodian National Volleyball team to World No. 4 ranking, developed a national wheelchair racing programme with a special focus on women with a disability, brought an Asia- Pacific Championship and two Standing Volleyball World Cups to Cambodia, and has persuaded Leonard Cohen to play a benefit concert in Phnom Penh on 27.11.10 in support of PwDs of Cambodia. The CNVLD is the ONLY organisation in Cambodia to receive a UN Best Practices Award for Development and international institutions openly recognise its successes as being a decade ahead of the now global interest in sports and development.
PwDs remain among the most marginalised in Cambodian society with exceptionally limited access to education, healthcare and employment opportunities. Through participation in the highly disciplined CNVLD sports programmes, 75% of more than 2000+ CNVLD athletes have gone on to gain meaningful employment and become acknowledged, respected leaders in their communities. Through strictly managed, equitable training subsidies and prize money, the CNVLD provides a sustainable basis for personal empowerment and fiscal responsibility. Since 2007, the CNVLD has achieved sustainability through corporate sponsorship with a clear, unwavering belief in the need for encouraging corporate social responsibility as a means to push social justice issues and provide support for the most vulnerable in society.
The National Volleyball League and ANZ Royal Wheelie Grand Prix offer the most lucrative prizes in Cambodian sport and all CNVLD athletes now have personal bank accounts. Oversight of all finances by ANZ Royal Bank guarantees the highest levels of transparency. By hosting increasingly prestigious international events, the CNVLD directly and indirectly stimulates broad sectors of the local economy, driving further demand for transparency and quality. In creating and encouraging inspiration and hope through the unique power of sport, the CNVLD acts as a catalyst for individuals and communities to stand up with dignity and pride, accelerating their emergence from often crippling poverty. The organisation provides an essential service in a highly challenging environment and its scope is limited only by resources given the 40,000+ Cambodian landmine survivors and a rising disability demographic through traffic and industrial accidents.
Beyond the immediate impact on the persons with a disability, one of the greatest unsung achievements has been the successful recruitment of over 300 young Cambodians from highly reputable corporate entities such as ANZ Royal Bank, Cellcard and Digital Divide Data who work as volunteers at CNVLD sports events. Volunteerism remains in its infancy in Cambodia and the efforts of these young Cambodians, who effectively manage all aspects of the events, in support of the athletes with a disability of Cambodia and the world continues to be truly remarkable and ultimately a stinging rebuttal of claims that self interest prevails among local youth.
The 2009 Cambodia Cellcard WOVD Volleyball World Cup saw six nations compete to capacity 5000 people crowds at the Olympic Stadium, whose dilapidated state almost made the event impossible to host. During the tournament, 14 hours of live prime time television coverage on CTN saw the entire nation rejoice in pride that the global sporting community was returning to Cambodia. Eventual winners and three time World Champions Germany subsequently voted the event the ‘Best World Cup we’ve ever attended’ and after receiving unabashed support from local fans in the final after Cambodia went out in the semis, many of the German team were reduced to tears of joy. The entire team have pledged their attendance at the Leonard Cohen concert.
In 2011, Cambodia will once again welcome athletes with a disability of the world to the Olympic Stadium, thanks to the proceeds from the Cohen concert allowing a full interior refurbishment and renovation, for another Volleyball World Cup - the third to be hosted in the nation in 4 years.
Since 1995 the CNVLD has established a national disability sporting infrastructure, pioneered corporate social responsibility in Cambodia and irreversibly altered attitudes and perceptions towards athletes with a disability who are now considered the nations true sporting heroes. None of this existed or was believed possible prior to this impetus. The CNVLD’s efforts have gained consistently high profile global media coverage in the world’s most prestigious publications whose unerringly positive portrayals of the achievements of the athletes with a disability of Cambodia have impacted immensely on perceptions of landmine survivors and Cambodia. In 2010 PwDs of Cambodia are a source of pride to the nation and encapsulate its future hopes.
The CNVLD has undoubtedly succeeded beyond all expectations: from its inception - with 10 athletes sourced at a post-conflict rehabilitation camp - to a globally recognised, award-winning institution which, despite often struggling with resources, has become a permanent, revered part of the Cambodian social landscape. The CNVLD has worked tirelessly since 1995 with staff on volunteer level remuneration and has been a consistently outspoken critic of the excesses and failures of the aid and development industry.
The athletes and the wider disability community consider the CNVLD their own and trust it implicitly. Working to a strict results-driven mantra, the CNVLD’s hugely significant contributions as a local Cambodian organisation are unquestionably Cambodia’s gain.

Cambodian Cohen Fanbase Growing
Convinced of the reverence with which Cambodian music lovers will hold Leonard Cohen, the Mekong Sessions has been screening Live in London to select Cambodian audiences prior to its upcoming national broadcast on Bayon TV.
Last night at the Under the Shade restaurant in Phnom Penh, over 30 Cambodians of all ages sat enthralled through the 3 hour concert as the elegance of the performance filtered through the sultry night air.
Pich Piseth, a 25 year old Cambodian was astounded at the similarities with the great Khmer artists of the pre-Khmer Rouge era, "The songs are beautiful and pull at your heart" he said, "It's very similar to the love songs of Sinn Sisamouth and they never sound old."
Piseth's mother who also watched the now legendary Live in London gig was overwhelmed by the power of the performance, "We are so proud that an artist who is so famous and so loved around the world has chosen to play in Cambodia. This means alot to us to know we are again being recogised as a place of peace and culture."
With market vendors stacking up on Cohen recordings, the Mekong Sessions is certain that the Cambodia Cohen fan Club is just around the corner!

Media Release 15.07.10: The Mekong Sessions Responds
As local promoters of the Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh benefit concert at the Olympic Stadium on 27 November 2010, the Mekong Sessions is issuing the following singular statement:
1. Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh is, thanks to the exceptional generosity of Leonard Cohen and AEG Live, a benefit concert with proceeds going to Cambodian Red Cross, the athletes with a disability of Cambodia and a full renovation of the indoor court of the Olympic Stadium. This has been made absolutely clear from the outset including the official media release of June 17 2010, on the Mekong Sessions website and associated media. Those purchasing tickets can be assured not only of experiencing one of the greatest musical and cultural events anywhere but also that they will be positively contributing to assisting some of the most vulnerable in Cambodian society through two of the most reputable organisations in the nation.
2. Given the pioneering nature of the concert, significant production costs are involved given the lack of resources necessary for a concert of this calibre at the present time in Cambodia - hence the lack of artists to date of the stature of Leonard Cohen playing here.
3. The Olympic Stadium is a relatively very small venue with just 3600 seats available. This has obvious impacts on the ticket prices as does its present dilapidated condition. Purchasers are guaranteed the most intimate concert on the World Tour in an international standard venue.
4. Sadly, while the Mekong Sessions has been embracing the enormous privilege of hosting Leonard Cohen in Cambodia, a vocal minority of expatriates in Phnom Penh have been using digital forums to post highly inflammatory critiques.
5. The nub of the issue is not the concert; rather it stems from a small segment of expatriate community bloggers in Phnom Penh who enjoy Cambodia for lifestyle opportunities impossible in their own countries and now complain when something is perceived to be beyond their reach despite the clear benefits for Cambodia and Cambodians. Those who criticise the motives behind the concert not only display an astonishing lack of knowledge or true long term commitment to the development process in Cambodia but denigrate the dignity of Leonard Cohen and his decision to honour us with his performance.
"I am deeply honoured, as is every Cambodian I’ve spoken to, that Leonard Cohen has chosen to perform a benefit concert in Phnom Penh," Mekong Sessions CEO Chris Minko said today ahead of a Cambodian media conference on Friday 16 July, "This is the culmination of 15yrs work on behalf of the disadvantaged in Cambodia. After watching Live in London with Khmers for the last three nights running and witnessing their reactions to the elegance and humanity of his performance, I hold no reservations as to the welcome Leonard Cohen will enjoy here. The Mekong Sessions is focusing its entire energies on ensuring a seamless event regarded as a highlight of Leonard Cohen’s acclaimed world tour."
"In a world where humanity is lauded but often measurably limited in those that grasp the chance to make a difference, who better to cast light than one of the greatest statesmen and poets of the human condition?"

Is Phnom Penh the last ever concert?
As Zagreb, Croatia pulsates in anticipation for the first concert in this round of Leonard Cohen’s World Tour on 25 July, equal interest among the fan cognoscenti is building in the setting for the last concert: Phnom Penh on 27 November.
As the last and most intimate venue of the 2010 World Tour, Leonard Cohen Live in Phnom Penh is quickly becoming the most unique, must-see date and already being regarded as the ASEAN event of the year.
With distinguished guests and diehard Cohen fans alike flying in from around the SE Asian region to see his first ever performance in SE Asia, speculation is mounting that the Phnom Penh concert may be the last chance to see Leonard Cohen play live for many years.
Following the end of the 2010 World Tour, Cohen will be returning to the studio for his much anticipated new album, though it is unclear whether a future World Tour will eventuate.
The Mekong Sessions wishes Leonard Cohen and his band the very best as the Zagreb leg kicks off on Sunday and eagerly anticipates his arrival in Cambodia for the conclusion of his globally acclaimed World Tour.

*******No, Phnom Penh is NOT the last concert of the 2010 tour, only the last one announced so far!!! More concerts to be announced - the tour will end mid-December! / Jarkko ***

Leonard Cohen: The 1980s and 1990s
Mekong Sessions writer Jimmy Baeck continues his retrospective of Leonard Cohens' career with a glance back at the 1980s and 1990s.
The 1980’s saw Leonard Cohen’s musical output slow. Despite his prodigious body of recorded work in the previous two decades, his popularity in America had declined. America has always been the largest Western market for records but unfortunately Americans were unable to appreciate the artistry of his music; they saw his songs as being slow rather sensuous and his lyrics as depressing and morbid rather than beautiful or insightful. In a typically wry comment, he was quoted in 1988 as saying of his record label, Columbia "I have always been touched by the modesty of their interest in my work."
Although he didn’t release a new album until 1985, 'Various Positions', it contained one of his most popular songs, and one which would be recorded by a number of artists in the following years, Hallelujah. Two different versions of this song occupied the top 2 positions on the British Pop Charts in 2008 (almost 25 years after its original release). The record also had a distinctly religious feel, reflecting the themes in a book of poetry that had been published in the previous year. His involvement with religion would escalate dramatically in the following decade.
In 1988 Leonard Cohen released his only other album, 'I’m Your Man' which also included several ‘classics’: First We Take Manhattan, Ain’t No Cure For Love and the superb Tower Of Song which is described as being almost like a celestial version of the Brill Building, a place where many famous American songwriters worked during the 50’s and 60’s.
In 1992, Leonard Cohen recorded 'The Future', which examined what he saw as the potential social and political collapse of Western culture.
In 1994, he made a rather unusual career move and entered the Mount Baldy Zen Centre near Los Angeles. This was the beginning of a 5 year period of seclusion which saw Leonard Cohen withdraw from the world.
