Can you feel the Bass- before breakfast?
 
Looking for a follow up to an earlier series of pictures entitled "Early Morning Ballroom Dancing in China" (published in the London Saturday Times Travel Section) Nathan Horton went looking for it's Cambodian equivalent. Not quite sure what he was looking for he didn't need to look far. After being asked to cover ' A day in the Life of the Olympic Stadium ' by AsiaLIFE Magazine he discovered the great buzz of hundred's of Phnom Penh's early risers involved in some impromptu high energy aerobic exercise. In a great role reversal the upper terraces of the stadium became the visual spectacle themselves. Out of the darkness boomed a Khmer techno remix of   ' We are the Cheeky Girls ' and as the sun raised it revealed the silhouettes of both the young and the old, men and women marching their feet and pumping their arms in the air in a modern day praise of a new day dawning. The silhouetted shapes seemed to take on a life of their own and undoubtedly seemed to express something uniquely Cambodian. Only vaguely in sync their free spirited casual interpretation of the up-tempo music always carried the graceful trace of the omnipresent Apsara influence. Nathan was hooked and the rest was a labor of love. "Can you feel the Bass" is a homage to a great modern monolith, the Olympic Stadium, Apsara dancing that has morphed it's way into a modern day dance routine and music that makes people want to get out of bed in the morning.
