Among our National Day songs, Singai Naadu is one of the most soulful and heartfelt. I enjoyed Shabir Tabare Alam’s original rendition, and shared it on my page six years ago (http://bit.ly/2Oh8QaQ)!
The a cappella group 1023 has given this song a fresh interpretation, combining it with another NDP staple, Munnaeru Vaalibaa. The group members are all ethnic Chinese, but they took pains to pronounce the Tamil lyrics accurately. Their medley also incorporated konnakkol, a form of vocal percussive music. To deliver a faithful rendition, their music director enrolled in online classes at a konnakkol school in Bangalore!
This music video is a good example of how music transcends language, race, or religion. I hope you enjoy this medley too, as National Day draws closer! – LHL
One of our favourite things about Singapore - it is a beautiful brew of cultures, influences, and harmony. 1023 may not be native Tamil speakers, but we absolutely loved doing this medley of Munnaeru Vaalibaa and Singai Naadu, incorporating the traditional Carnatic art form, Konnakkol.
Thank you S Jesudassan and Shabir Tabare Alam for inspiring local music 🇸🇬❤
