The first time I saw Vartey Ganiva play was at a Battle of the Bands concert at X Bar in Siem Reap, back in April. Extremely pretty, dressed in a cute black minidress and delicately thanking the judges for the opportunity, she wouldn’t have looked out of place in a Khmer-pop music video. Until, of course, she started to sing. “People say, oh, you’re so small, but you sing punk songs!” laughs Vartey, whose performance style is raw and aggressive – and whose first single, Evil Husband, was a feminist rallying-cry to long-suffering wives in rural Cambodia.
