NANU IN TILBURG, NETHERLANDS Sponsored by Goodwins Advocates & Solicitors, Minumkun Sdn Bhd & Lee Foundation. Back from Tilburg with a song in their heart and inspiration to continue pursuing excellence in their music. Nanu performed it’s music to an audience and panel of judges who have never quite heard a pop a cappella group nor one from Asia before. Although they did not bag the top prize, they surely did showcase a cappella with a difference out there where classical singing still predominantly presides. Kudos gals!
