Ayai is a type of traditional singing duet which is registered as a Khmer heritage, however, even though Ayai is a valuable art, the number of Ayai singers is very small in Cambodia currently. Prum Manh is a well known artist with attractive voice and he is also a skilled comedian, both for his content and his acting. He is concerned about the future evolution of the Ayai art.

Ayai impresses only uneducted people but too vulgar for others
Uneducated and educated all enjoy the Khmer ayai even the new generation kid like me raising oversea!
This guy is a jerk.He's so fucking nasty.Everyone should hear when he dueling with the lady.Beside ,he seem to like educate others but not himself.Go take a hike dude.
i think mr. prom manh is a master of khmer ayai, i mean, when you watch him on tv, etc, he's so fluent and natural with his khmer language skills. i too think he should be recognized as khmer languistic artist! he's real talented!
don't forget that he (along with other comdians) are member of Hun Sen bodyguard unit!
ពួកអាមានតែមាត់និយាយមិនដែលគិតដល់ប្រជាជន
នោះទេមិនដែលឃើញគណបក្សប្រឆាំងណាមួយ
បានជួយពលរដ្ធកម្ពុជានោះទេមានតែដើរញុះញង់
ឲ្យខ្មែរនៅក្រៅប្រទេសទាស់ទែងខ្វែងគំនិត្យជាមួយ
ខ្មែរនៅក្នុងស្រុកនេះសបញ្ឃាក់ថាពិតជាក្បត់ជាតិមែន
ដួច្នេះខ្មែរទាំងឡាយមិនត្រូវចាញ់បោកពួកអាអគតិ
ទាំងនោះទេ។
12:43! Every body have to show love, like, subordinate to ah Hun Xen now to survive inside Cambodia!!!!
When the day come the one who so close to him that tear his throuth!!!
7:31, you're wrong! What you mean to say is Mr. Prum Manh's ayai only impresses uneducated people.
I am suprised that KI puts him up as part of a "rare heritage". He is disgusting, sexist, and he uses his witty word play not educate and tell stories as traditional ayaist do, but rather he does to make nasty jokes about copulations, sex etc.
None of his songs are about anything constructive or identifiable as "Khmer" cultural values.
The only think I think he should be commended for his poem about Khmer children's respect to their children and hardwork. other than that really wonderful poem, he is just a really nasty and vulgar personality with a really good talent for stringing up witty Khmer sayings infused with his jokes about sex.
For me i think all of you above don't know him well.If all of you want to how bad Mr Manh was please come to Stockton California and asking people who living at Kelly drive you will know that he fucked somebody's wife the husband just past away six months ago.Main point he is not an educated person!
Make no mistake Ayai can be beautiful, poetic and funny as sung on radio by Ta Saluot/Saram Pak etc.. in the old days. Ayai demands a mastery of khmer poetry and Prohm Manh has incredible skills with the language. But he is also a master at the worst kind of sexual inuendoes, racial putdowns, verbal abuse and perpetuation of stereotypes that unfortunately a lot of khmer people find funny or worst, witty. It helps him sell his shows. To be charitable however, maybe he only reflects what is the most vulgar in our khmer society, and we khmer do like to laugh at ourselves more than on anything else. the cat.
Mr. Prom Manh needed to organize a tour. Imagine ten of thousands of the audiences every performing tour. Yes, you're a new Lok Ta Krom Nguy and Sethei, Sir. See the American blue Colar's our and good luck!
