The LengPleng Feature Interview

A place to come back to – Derrick Big D Walker

It is a truism that Cambodia is a place where the well-travelled can find a place to stop a while.  This is very much the case with Derrick Big D Walker, a wanderer based in Stockholm, Sweden.  Sixteen months ago LengPleng first spoke to him for Passing Chords, when he’d been in Phnom Penh for only three weeks, and now as he prepares to leave he sat down for a full-length exit interview on the balcony at Oscar’s on the Corner.

You’ve played in many places around the world, what brought you to Cambodia?  “Yeah, I’ve played in the most obscure places blues musicians can play.  The Arctic Circle, Ukraine, China, Cambodia.  My family thinks I’m insane.  Cambodia?  they ask.”
