nanu
Formed in 1999 with the vision to be Asia’s leading all female vocal band, NANU has come full circle with a professional team of singers and musicians that will allow it to showcase the all female prowess of vocal agility and talent. From local competition The Big Break (finalists) and local functions to recording songs on 3 compilation albums to overseas performances in Jakarta and Boston at the East Coast A Cappella Summit and in 2004, Netherland’s Music Competition, NANU is one of the few local a cappella groups that has grown from strength to strength and explored performing and competing overseas. The group’s continued vision is to continue competing and performing overseas to represent Singapore’s a cappella scene with its developing professional standard. This year’s revival of the group with it’s long term vision of producing more concerts and foreign shows, will see the group mounting greater achievements for the local a cappella scene. The music of nanu includes pop and R&B music in several languages including English, Mandarin, Japanese and Tagalog. The group also writes its own music and is a supporter of local song writers. The strength of the group is its staple of singers, who each brings her individual unique style and approach to music – making and solo singing capabilities. An awesome ensemble to watch out for!

Christmas Is Coming
The team had an exhilarating time at the recent Christmas is Coming shows at Esplanade Recital Studio. Thank you to all our supporters for cheering us on and also to all our new friends who came to catch us for the first time. We hope to see you again soon in 2010! Through our very hectic schedules, the team managed to come together diligently over the past months to put a concert selection together and to challenge ourselves with new scores and also re-creating them to add Melissa's groovy scats in. The verdict: It was all worth the effort and stress! The afternoon concert was a blast with the children, all that candy and lots of bubble blowing. The mixed aged group in the audience was a challenge but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. For the evening concert, the audience was one of the best we've worked with. They sang so well, were very gung-ho about all the singing and percussing and rapping. Thanks also to the gentleman who came up to be our 'honey' during our Christina Aguilera song, Candyman. A concert can never be a concert without the exchange of energy between the performer and audience and to put it simply, we really had a good time. Thank you again to all the Esplanade staff, TAS staff, the children, all the parents and all the donated sweets, Far East Flora Xmas tree, Brandon's free couch delivery and even extra baby-sitters for little David - We could not have done it without all of you. Have a good Christmas and a grand New Year!
