Known particularly for her western rock and soul influences, flirtatious dancing, and risque lyrics,[1] Pen Ran has been described by the New York Times as a "worldly, wise-cracking foil" to the more restrained Cambodian pop singers of her era.[2] She disappeared during the Khmer Rouge genocide and her exact fate is unknown. Life and careerVery little is known of Pen Ran's personal history. It has been established that she was from Battambang and attended the same school as the younger Ros Serey Sothea, another popular singer of the same era. Pen Ran had a sister named Pen Ram (sometimes Romanized as Pan Rom) who was also a singer in the later years of the Cambodian psychedelic rock scene.[3][4] In the 1960s, Cambodian Head of State Norodom Sihanouk, a musician himself, encouraged the development of popular music in Cambodia. Initially, pop records from France and Latin America were imported into the country and became popular, inspiring a flourishing pop music scene based in Phnom Penh and led by singers like Sinn Sisamouth.[2][5] Pen Ran was an early entrant in this music scene, with the hit song "Pka Kabass" in 1963,{{citation needed|date=April 2018}} but she became a national star when she began recording with Sinn Sisamouth in 1966.[3][4] Starting in the late 1960s Ran recorded many collaborations with Sisamouth and other notable Cambodian singers of the period,[6] while continuing her solo career. The debut of the popular Ros Serey Sothea in 1967 had little effect on Pen Ran's career and perhaps even broadened her popularity as the second leading lady of Cambodian popular music.[7] Style and legacy{{Listen| filename =Pan Ron - Rom Jongvak Twist - Cambodian Rocks (sample).ogg | title =Pan Ron - Rom Jongvak Twist | description =Sample of Pan Ron's Rom Jongvak Twist (from the 1996 compilation Cambodian Rocks) }}{{Listen | filename =Pan Ron - Knyom Mun Sok Jet Te - Cambodian Rocks (sample).ogg | title =Pan Ron - Knyom Mun Sok Jet Te | description =Sample of Pan Ron's "Knyom Mun Sok Jet Te" (from the 1996 compilation Cambodian Rocks). The song, whose title translates to "I'm Unsatisfied," is an example of sexuality in Pen Ran's lyrics that was unusual for the time. }} Pen Ran was known for her unrestrained personality and western-oriented hairstyles and fashions, rejecting traditional demands on Khmer women and representing new and modern gender roles.[7] Her onstage dancing and flirtatious lyrics were considered scandalous in Cambodia at the time.[1] Translated titles of her songs indicate her risque focus on romance and sexuality (for example, "I'm Unsatisfied" and "I Want to Be Your Lover") and a rejection of traditional courtship (for example, "It's Too Late Old Man"). Near the end of her music career Pen Ran was still an unmarried career woman in her early thirties, which was also unusual for Cambodia at the time.[8] She addressed this topic in the song "I'm 31" which was an answer to Ros Serey Sothea's hit song "I'm 16."[3][4] Pen Ran was known to be a very versatile singer, having a repertoire consisting of traditional Cambodian music, rock, twist, cha cha cha, agogo, mambo, madizon, jazz, and folk.[1] When discussing her vocal abilities, one researcher has said "Pan Ron hits notes that shatter glass."[9] Decades later, Nick Hanover described the unique combination of Cambodian and Western influences in the track "Rom Jongvak Twist" as "a Cambodian spin on American dance crazes that sounds less like Chubby Checker than Lydia Lunch."[10] Throughout her career, she is believed to have performed on hundreds of songs, many of which she wrote herself.[7] Pen Ran disappeared during the Khmer Rouge genocide of the late 1970s and her exact fate is unknown. Her younger sister Pen Ram said that she survived until the Vietnamese invasion of late 1978/early 1979 when the Khmer Rouge launched their final series of mass executions.[6] Given the goal of the Khmer Rouge to remove foreign influences from Cambodian society, Pen Ran's individuality probably ensured her death.[1] In a 2015 BBC documentary on the band Cambodian Space Project, who have covered many of Pen Ran's songs, it was alleged by an interview subject that she was tricked by the Khmer Rouge into performing one of her songs, after which she was led away and executed.{{citation needed|date=October 2018|reason=This reminds me of something I heard about Ros Serey Sothea, and something so significant should have a source.}} Starting in the late 1990s, interest in Pan Ron's music was revived by the album Cambodian Rocks[11] and similar CD compilations, while the documentary film Don't Think I've Forgotten described her as one of the most influential artists of her era.[2] DiscographySome of the songs (from the hundreds) that she actually composed and sang herself or with Sinn Sisamouth or Ros Serey Sothea include: Solo performances{{div col}}
