Respectfully dubbed "The Ray Charles of Cambodia," Kong Nay is one of the most celebrated artists in the chapei tradition. Accompanied by his own spirited strumming on the chapei dang weng (a Cambodian long-necked lute), Kong Nay uses his lively voice and tenacious word play to cleverly improvise poetry and song. For WOMADelaide, he will be joined by his young protégé, Ouch Savy, who he has been teaching since 2003.
