Pho Cho


Pho Cho is one of the big stars who sits very quietly. People know him without noticing his presence. If we, the audience, are the fishes, he means water to us. We built our memories and life around his songs so comfortably that we barely notice it was even there. Almost as if we were taking him and his songs presence for granted.

His song are simple and present the honesty. His voice or singing style is not extraordinary ---which in a way make us be able to connect to his songs effortlessly. His songs compliment our everyday lives without being too dramatic. It would be in easy listening category. Most of his songs are good mood songs --- fun and enjoyment of freedom of youth.

The list of Pho Cho's favorite songs would not end easily. The song collection of rememberance of Pho Cho concert is a very decent collection of Pho Cho songs. Of course, there are more good songs left out of this collection. We sang Pho Cho songs everyday --- every night in the moon light in those nostalgic time. "let me be a little red bag on your shoulder, --let me be a velvet slipper under your soft feet, ---" it was dreamy in the lyrcs of "Hnyoe Myet Won". He has a lot of memorable dormitory songs. (One night, we sang too loud that our guitar was confiscated while we were singing "Pine Soe Hmu A-kari" at our college hall). His song "Way Lwint Chin Ye Alwan Chay Yar" used in a short video "Hnin Si Wine" is one of the best used songs as a back ground song. The song made the movie still very memorable.


I am a huge mega fan of Pho Cho and loved most of his songs. I don't know much about him since he is one of the quite stars who always shy away from the spot light.
