While past singles “Get Ur Freak On” and “Gossip Folks” found producer Timbaland exhuming his skeletal beats from India, his latest archaeological work has been in the tribal grounds of Africa. “Pass That Dutch” reverently travels on the same hand-clapping Diwali path recently trodden by dancehall artists Wayne Wonder and Sean Paul...

Touch is known by many as the "voice of Funcinpec"?the royalist opposition party?and her rendition of Funcinpec's anthem receives constant play on the party's radio station, Ta Prum. Just three days before the attack, Chou Chetharith, a journalist at Ta Prum, was fatally gunned down in another motorbike hit outside the station...
