The Singaporeans are slowly making a mark on the Season. And this year, Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society (SIFAS) got Singapore Consulate General based in the city collaborate with the annual fest.
They even themed the fest - Alangkar.
The fest showcases talents of students of SIFAS, and their gurus. In a way, this stage, though early in the Season must be beneficial.
The smaller hall of the Music Academy was packed on Friday evening at the launch of Alangkar.
The opening show was unique - with the Singaporeans performing what was a melange of sounds and music - interweaving Chinese and Far East sounds with Carnatic as well as Hindustani music.
Cheryl and Riduan enjoyed themselves on their native percussion instruments and midway, as a Bharatanatyam and a Kathak dancer stepped in, the collage was grand.
Over two days on the Dec.8 weekend, other artistes will sing and dance at this venue.
It will be good to also have artistes from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Reunion and elsewhere to have such a platform in the Season
