Los Angeles based band formed in the early 2000s, Dengue Fever fuses Khmer-Rock with modern Indie Rock. With a unique sound that blends Cambodian pop music from the 1960s and 70s with contemporary Western influences, *Dengue Fever* has created a captivating musical experience that transports listeners to another time and place.

Inspired by legendary Cambodian artists such as *Yol Aularong*, *Sinn Sisamouth*, and *Pan Ron*, Dengue Fever pays homage to their rich musical heritage while adding their own modern twist. Their eclectic style has drawn comparisons to diverse acts like *The Cambodian Space Project*, *Holly Golightly*, and even African bands like *Tinariwen* and *Bombino*. 

Known for their energetic live performances, Dengue Fever has gained a dedicated following around the world. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres including Ethiopian jazz (*Mulatu Astatke*), experimental rock (*CAN*), and even Thai funk (*The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band*), they continue to push boundaries and defy categorization.

back in stock. dengue fever is fronted by cambodian pop star chhom nimol, who sings in khmer, the los angeles sextet blends the rhythms of 60s cambodian pop - heavily influenced by american surf, rock and early psychedelic garage bands - with their own eclectic mix of american and international styles. unlike the world music bands of the late 80s, dengue fever is more concerned with a universal groove and breaking down musical barriers than with notions of authenticity. there are echoes of bollywood soundtracks, ethiopian soul, american r&amp;b, cambodian folk, spaghetti western weirdness and girl group angst in the mix, but the resulting concoction is all their own. escape from dragon house is darker musically and lyrically than the bands debut, with a fully realized style thats pure dengue fever. while chhom nimols khmer vocals may sound a bit strange to american ears at first, her extraordinary range and impressive vocal power assure the listener that this band is serious about its mission of blending cambodian, american and, yes, ethiopian music to create something thats beautifully new and distinctive.
