Smot chanting, or smot is a traditional form of Buddhist chanting in Cambodia.
Smot is chanted at funerals and other ceremonies, and includes songs about the Buddha's life.
The texts used in smot are in Pali and Khmer.
One famous chanter of smot was the monk Hun Horm (1924-2007) (later known as Hun Kang). Young artists who carry on the tradition are Sinat Nhok, and Pheuan Srey Peu (or Phoeun Srey Pov). Pheuan Srey Peu has studied with Prom Uth and Professor Yan Borin.
The Cambodia Living Arts group seeks young people to study with the few remaining older masters of the art form.
Presentations of smot have been given at the Khmer Arts Academy in Long Beach, California.
