Pen Ran (Khmer: ប៉ែន រ៉ន, Khmer pronunciation:[paenrɑːn]), (c. 1944 – c. 1979) also commonly known as Pan Ron in some Romanized sources intended for English-speaking audiences, was a Cambodian singer and songwriter who was at the height of her popularity in the 1960s and early 1970s. 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 fate is unknown.
