Yike

"[1] Yike is believed to originate from Champa, and was imported to Cambodia in the Funan period.

Yike is performed in nearly every province of Cambodia and by the Khmer Krom communities in southern Vietnam.

For most of the performance, a dancing style similar to rom kbach is lightly incorporated.

The performances gained popularity with Cambodian farmers, thus it have changed over time into a theatrical art form to promote the teachings of Buddhism and Brahmanism.

[2] The largest skor mei drum plays first, as others gradually join.
