youtu.be/xQWeWgy7bEo Ever wondered what the sound track to the traditional Buddhist culture of Cambodia was like 1000 years ago? Check this out and then jump over to iTunes and and buy his music - that is how we keep him and his family going. The gentleman is Kong Nay - one of Cambodias musical treasures - affectionately known in his own culture as the Ray Charles of Cambodia!!! As a young blind man he suffered terribly (as did many) in the hands of the khmer Rouge. Six Years ago I helped my friend Dickie Chappell with a project that involved bringing him to tour in Britain to promote the film The Flute Player and perform with Peter Gabriel at the WOMAD festival I loved working with this remarkable, gentle, humorous man. The music has a strange oriental/blues quality. I loved the time I spent with him.
