Among our National Day songs, Singai Naadu is one of the most soulful and heartfelt. I enjoyed Shabir Tabare Alam’s original rendition, and shared it on my FB Page six years ago!

The a cappella group @1023official has given this song a fresh interpretation, combining it with another NDP staple, Munnaeru Vaalibaa. The group members are all ethnic Chinese, but they took pains to pronounce the Tamil lyrics accurately. Their medley also incorporated konnakkol, a form of vocal percussive music. To deliver a faithful rendition, their music director enrolled in online classes at a konnakkol school in Bangalore!

This music video is a good example of how music transcends language, race, or religion. I hope you enjoy this medley too, as National Day draws closer! (Please go to my FB Page to watch the full clip :) ). – LHL
