Synopsis

The power and joy of drumming and music that Nadi Singapura brings to every performance is a treat not to be missed. With a harmonious blend of Rebana, Jidur, Marwas, Talempong, and other traditional instruments—accompanied by vibrant dancing and singing—their creative expression is both captivating and boundary-pushing.

 

Kenapa Ke Sana invites audiences to a small village celebrated for its rich musical heritage, where bamboo plays a central role in cultural traditions. When the bamboo supply begins to run low, three villagers with distinct personalities set out on a quest to find new resources.

 

Crafted by Nadi Singapura, this immersive experience draws inspiration form the customs and traditions of the Malay community in Singapore and the wider Nusantara.
