Singapore Art Cafe: The Next Hot Venue For A Cappella Music

Singapore Art Cafe The Next Hot Venue For A Cappella Music

The Singapore Art Cafe (SAC) will be holding its first a cappella open mic session on July 12. The Café’s open mic sessions ~ dubbed “GOT!”, which is short for Gathering Of Talents ~ are held regularly on Wednesday evenings and usually feature acoustic contemporary pop, light rock and jazz music performed by local and locally-based musicians, singers and songwriters. On July 12 however, the only musical sounds floating out of the SAC would be vocal ones. No instruments will be used. Vocollision and M18 will perform familiar numbers cleverly arranged to suit vocal bands. The evening will be rounded off with a jamming session for those in the audience who are up to it.

The SAC commenced operations on Dec 21, 2005. Located within the library@Esplanade, the Cafe houses a mini-gallery and a performing stage for visual artists and musicians to showcase their works and talents. The SAC strives to help nurture the local arts scene. It will work with government agencies, corporations and other organisations to create more avenues and opportunities to support the arts.

It was grating to the ears when he made certain sounds: more like noise than music to the ears. There was a slight limp in his leg since his recovery from an accident, which prevented him from dancing around the stage too much. I think it's better that he sticks to his vocal percussion than his weak singing or hiphop rap. People were more impressed with his percussion than him singing or rapping. Good & tight harmony I would say. If you have heard Wes Carrol, the group percussionist, Peter Huang seem amateurish. Real solid vocal percussion from Wes. The bass is Bert Bacco, showing off his really deep rumble. Next is Deke Sharon and Garth Kravitis, the group's vocal instrumentalist wh
