Cambodian master musician Kong Nay plays Chapei Dong Veng

Cambodian master musician Kong Nay plays Chapei Dong Veng. Master of the "Mekong Delta Blues", some call Kong Nay the "Ray Charles of Cambodia" - a charismatic blind musician whose trademark dark glasses and pock marked smile are known all over Cambodia. Nay is renowned in Cambodia as one of the great master artists to survive the genocide of Pol Pot, during which up to 90% fo artists perished in a purge intended to destroy a 2000 year old culture. But it turned out the culture - and Nay - are irrepressible

@rony23ify check out Cambodian arts on facebook, affiliated with "Cambodian living arts". They sell chapei, but it'll cost you to have it shipped. $400 for chapei, at least as much to ship.

I wish him long life and good health,we should provide him with what ever he need,he is a living breathing Khmer art and history,we love Loke-ta Kong Nay,he is indeed a national treasure,his music teach things,it enlightened the young and old listeners alike and it speak of khmer history past,his music is best enjoyed if one understood in depth the Khmer language and our cultural traditions.
