The Golden Voice: The Ballad of Cambodian Rock's Lost Queen (Life Drawn, 2023) is very well-reseraech graphic novel based on the life of beloved Cambodian singer Ros Serey Sothea, whose “Golden Voice” helped define Cambodia's Golden Age of music until her mysterious disappearance in the killing fields of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. Developed in partnership with Sothea's family. There is a saying in Cambodia: Music is the soul of a nation. Perhaps no one embodied that spirit more than Ros Serey Sothea, a young woman who would forever change the landscape of Cambodian music as the Queen with the Golden Voice. From a humble rice farmer to nationally recognized singer, Sothea's success captured the hearts of the Khmer people. Throughout her career, she recorded over 500 songs, her signature angelic voice soaring over genres from traditional ballads to psychedelic rock and beyond. As the Cambodian civil war raged, Sothea's singing career continued to flourish, even when she served in the army as one of the country's first female paratroopers. After years of bloody conflict, the communist Khmer Rouge seized control, murdering artists and destroying their music, bringing Cambodia's golden age into a dark era of silence. Sothea's fate is unknown. Ros Serey Sothea's golden voice lives on in the popular music of Cambodia to this very day. Gone but not forgotten, her legacy continues to inspire. The Golden Voice tells the story of Sothea's life, developed alongside the surviving family who knew her, and accompanied by an interactive soundtrack. Gregory Cahill is an Emmy Award winning television producer for the CBS entertainment talk show The Talk. His previous TV credits include 24, Mad Men, and Medium. In 2006, Cahill wrote and directed a short film titled The Golden Voice, depicting Ros Serey Sothea's final days under Khmer Rouge. After years of research, he began work on a graphic novel also titled The Golden Voice, depicting Ros Serey Sothea's life story. The Golden Voice: The Ballad of Cambodian Rock's Lost Queen is his first book. Kat Baumann is an illustrator and comics creator from Southern Minnesota who graduated from the Visual Arts department of the Perpich Center for Arts Education in 2009, received my bachelor's in Studio Art in 2013 and interned at Helioscope (formerly Periscope) Studio in 2014. She decided to become a comic artist at a young age when she was heavily influenced by Japanese manga and South Korean manhwa. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford University Press, 2018).

This installment U of M Radio On Your Historic Dial features Margeret Hasse on the KUOM program Minnesota Issues in her role as Executive Director for the Minnesota Alliance for Arts in Education. The year was 1984 and plans were underway for the establishment of an arts high school in Minnesota. Governor Rudy Perpich had implemented a task force to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of the school. Can you guess what school this would become? That’s right, Minnesota was already laying the groundwork for the Perpich Center for Arts Education that operates today in Golden Valley. Not everyone was in favor of establishing a school that would centralize funding for arts education in the state. Margaret Hasse and the Minnesota Alliance for Arts in Education had concerns about the establishment of the school.

JaiKaur is delighted to interview Tyler Blanski, author of "Mud and Poetry: Love, Sex, and the Sacred". Below is a bit that Tyler shared about himself~ "My name is Tyler Blanski. I’m just a housepainter. But when I can, I write books, poetry, and songs on my guitar. Nobody’s written the books I want to read. Nobody’s written the kind of songs I want to listen to. So I’m writing them. I’m 27 years old, and dedicated to discovering Christ’s activity in our lives—whether it’s our sexuality, our imagination, or our jobs. I want to help build God’s Kingdom, brick by brick. My writing has appeared on CNN, ABC News’ Good Morning America, and Geez Magazine. Fresh Air Books published my book Mud & Poetry in 2010.My other books have been published under the Ezekiel Records & Creative Group label. My work is shaped by an ongoing apprenticeship to Christ and literature. I am interested in the intersection of the seven liberal arts, the biblical narrative, and contemporary culture. I graduated from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in 2002, studied at the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Oxford, in 2005, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from Hillsdale College in 2006. I am a co-founder of the Couch Society, a theological writer’s forum, and a board member of Venite Ministries, a Christian spiritual and intellectual resource center in Minneapolis.
