Whistling a leaflute tune and keeping the art alive
On August 4 of this year, a team from the Department of Performing Arts under the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts filmed leaflute musician Chhorn Sam Ath, one of the few remaining music masters who can whistle a tune into a leaf to make music. The filming was conducted to document a unique Cambodian musical instrument made out of leaf for the purpose of research and posterity.
