Synopsis

Nanyang Ballads – The Spirit of Moving Melodies.

Trio Sundal Malam, an ensemble founded in 2018, weaves together ancient folk tunes and contemporary music, creating a distinctive sound that blends nostalgia with modern sensibilities. In this performance, they will take the audience on a captivating journey from China to Southeast Asia, telling powerful stories through beautiful melodies. The setlist features timeless classics such as Small River Flows from Yunnan and Wishing Spring Breeze from Fujian, among others. Each song carries a deep, moving story, resonating across time and borders, while highlighting the rich fusion of Southeast Asian cultures.

Trio Sundal Malam does more than perform music—they bridge the past and present. Through their artistry, they invite the audience not only to enjoy the beauty of these melodies but also to appreciate the timeless relevance of folk songs in our world today.
