Why Playing Khmer Music Matters So Much with McMaster University Student Bourey Lim

Bourey Lim is a 20 year old second generation Cambodian Canadian who feels a strong connection to his Cambodian heritage. He is currently pursuing the Bachelor of Technology in Automotive Engineering degree at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, his hometown.   

A large part of Bourey's free time is playing in a Khmer cover band, performing at Cambodian events in southern Ontario. As his band mates are aging, he expressed aspirations to form a band with young people who are committed to putting in the work.
