Drakkar

The Drakkars, (commonly known as Drakkar, Drakka Band, or Thra Kha Band in some Romanized sources) were a Cambodian hard rock band active from 1961 to 1975. Their music has been noted as an important late-stage development in Cambodian rock of the 1960s and 70s, a thriving music scene that was abruptly crushed by the Khmer Rouge communists in 1975. Some members of the band did not survive the ensuing Cambodian genocide. Surviving members reformed the band and began performing again in 2011.
