The Main Wayang Company, Singapore’s newest Peranakan Company aims to bring relevance

of our rich and unique culture to today’s modern generation.

This Peranakan music CD is produced for the ‘true-blue’ Peranakans, lovers of all things Peranakan

and the younger generation of Peranakans especially for those who call themselves ‘half’, ‘quarter’

or even ‘one-eight’ Peranakan!

We wish to convey to you that being a Peranakan is in the passion for living and celebrating our culture, everyday!

Our sense of belonging to a proud heritage is not a mathematical fraction!

So stand up proud and be counted as a Peranakan!

 

We hope this music will bring back wonderful memories for the older folks and bridge

a musical link to our younger generation of Babas and Nyonyas.

 

The Main Wayang Company would like to thank –

Baba Jason Tan for his patience, passion, masterful engineering & recording work!

Nyonya Babes Conde (and sisters!) for sharing her sweet voice and vocal guidance.

Guest Singers – Nyonya Denise Tan & Nyonya Peggy Ferroa for their ‘spicy’ vocals.

Our Peranakan Rhapsody Choir and our regular recording ‘kakis’ –

Baba Tony Quek, Nyonya Jessie Cheang, Baba Joseph Goh & 6-year old Baba Darius Oon.

Special thanks to maestro Baba Christopher Fong for contributing 3 songs to this CD

and Baba Band Musical Director, Baba Damien Lim for singing as well as arranging the Overture.

 

We had a great time creating this unique Peranakan CD just for you.

We certainly hope the music will get you to “Jump-up & Joget” and have a Jolly Jolly Time.
