Kampot Traditional Music School.

In 2011, with funds raised from Kickstarter, KCDI students and staff traveled to Phnom Penh to record a CD of Yike, Pin Peat and Mahori music at a professional recording studio.

The purpose of this CD was to capture and share these three traditional music forms and to raise money for the school. The CD is available for purchase at the following locations:

In Kampot: Epic Arts Cafe Senor Sushi Om Cafe Green Guesthouse In Kep: Veranda Natural Resort Knai Bang Chatt
In Phnom Penh: Monument Books Khmer Royal Souvenir Shop
In Australia: Fairly Cambodian, Melbourne.
