CHAPEI DANG VENG MUSIC - Master Kong Nay and Kong Boran

Cambodian Living Arts presents Master Kong Nay, known as the "Ray Charles of Cambodia," and his student and son, Kong Boran at the Chinese House, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Kong Nay is one of the bestknown and celebrated Chapei dang veng musician in Cambodia. Chapei music is a traditional form of improvised song-making that is often compared to American Delta Blues. Named after the chapei dang veng, a long-necked, two-string guitar that accompanies the singing style, Chapei is not bound by the restrictions of other traditional forms and lends itself to a fusing with modern styles.
