RAUL MIDÓN with special guest MASTER KONG NAY

Presented in association with Season of Cambodia
David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, Frieda and Roy Furman Stage (Broadway bet. 62nd & 63rd St.)
"A three-way fusion of Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin and Jose Feliciano," is how The New York Times described the singer/songwriter Raul Midón. New Mexican born New Yorker, blind since birth, Midón combines a vibrant sound steeped in old-school soul, with Latin and jazz influences to create timeless, classic pop songs. Preceding Midón's performance, Kong Nay, a virtuoso of the chapei dong veng a two-stringed, long-necked guitar, who is often referred to as "the Ray Charles of Cambodia," will give a sneak preview of his April 20 performance at Asia Society. The charismatic blind musician is renowned throughout his homeland and is one of only a small number of master artists who survived the genocide under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The concert is part of Season of Cambodia, the citywide New York festival (April 6-May 31) celebrating Cambodian arts, culture and humanities. For information, visit www.seasonofcambodia.org.
Master Kong Nay's appearance is presented in association with Asia Society.
