Yol Aularong

Yol Aularong ( ; also romanized as Yos Olarang) was a Cambodian garage rock musician, and a leading figure in the country's rock scene of the 1960s and 70s. He incorporated elements of soul, funk, and rock into his music, and was known for his rebellious persona, humor, and social commentary. He is presumed to have been killed during the Cambodian genocide that took place under the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979. Aularong received renewed attention with posthumous collections like Cambodian Rocks, the documentary Don't Think I've Forgotten, and the off-Broadway production Cambodian Rock Band.

Biography Yol Aularong was from a family of notable Cambodian musicians: singers Sieng Vanthy and Sieng Dy (aka Sieng Di) were his aunts, and classical violinist/composer Has Salan was his uncle.
