It was an amazing experience for all. A very fruitful trip with a lot to offer. Members learnt abt the history of angklung, the art of making and tuning an angklung and instruments and culture from Thailand and Phillipine.
Of course the highlight of the summit would be the gala concert. Members performed two sets, first being a collaboration work of Thailand, Indonesia and S'pore playing a traditional thai song using the thai's angklung. The second set is the contingent's very own set comprising of 5 songs namely Astaghfirullah, Solawat Badriyah, Ya Robbi Bi Mustafa, Tawassalna and Iktirof. The showcase was backed by Alhafiz on gambus and bamboo flute.
Being the only group from Singapore, Madrasah Aljunied Angklung Enssemble has done very well and the performance was well received by guests and officials.
As an instructor to the ensemble...i am very proud of them, they hv put the name Madrasah Aljunied to a greater height.
Thank you to AWI (Angklung Web Institute) for the hospitality and organising such a summit.
