Synopsis

The power and joy of drumming and music that Nadi Singapura brings in every performance is a treat not to be missed. The harmonious performance of the rebana, jidur, marwas and talempong, among other traditional Malay instruments, accompanied by dancing and singing, remains a highlight in their creative expression.

 

Don’t miss Rasa Cinta, inspired by the customs and traditions practised by the Malay community in Singapore and the Nusantara, crafted by Nadi Singapura.

Artist Information

Nadi Singapura

Formed in November 2011, the Nadi Singapura ensemble is made up of young and aspiring musos who believe in uplifting traditional Malay drums and percussions. Nadi, which means pulse or flow of consciousness in Malay, features the most common Malayan drums found in Singapore namely the kompang, rebana, jidur and gendang in their performances.

 

The ensemble is led by two renowned individuals in the Singapore Malay Arts scene, rebana artist Yaziz Hassan and prominent drummer and percussionist, Riduan Zalani. Both founders aim to position Nadi Singapura as a dynamic ensemble which adopts an innovative approach in the use of the Malay Archipelago drums.
