Moliendo Cafe
Dear Angklungees...
I found a few very nice and lively versions of Moliendo Cafe! Check them out:
The studio-recording latin version; these guys look and sound like they are enjoying themselves (Mel and Suki: if you can play as smoothly and in as a relaxed manner as the percussion guy we'll be halfway towards GOLD!)
José Montserrate Feliciano García (born September 10, 1945) is a blind Puerto Rican singer and virtuoso guitarist, known for many international hits. Here's his version; you can hear the rhythm clearer:
I think if we can play as SMOOTHLY and in as RELAXED a manner as these guys, we'll definitely strike G*** :) Enjoy!!

Of MIA, Rehearsals and being Cool
Dear Angklung members,
FINALLY I have the time to be back here again! I'm so sorry for not having posted for so long but Term 3 was really very very hectic as I was running several projects at the same time, but now I'M BACK! :D
Some updates:
1. 11 SEP FRIDAY REHEARSAL: WELCOME CONCERT FOR BANGBU VISITORS
As the concert is on 14 Sep - that's right, first day of the new term! - we've been informed of the rehearsal just before school closed. (Lucky we've got practices this hols! Phew!) Details are as below:
Date: 11 Sep 2009 (Fri)
Time: 0900 - 1030 (Pls reach sch at 0845)
Attire: Sch Uniform PLS!
See you there :)
2. NEW SONG?
I've been thinking of getting Mr A to instrument this song for our ensemble - it's got a really cool feel to it and if we can put in our effort and do it well we could WOW our audiences. How how how?

Besame Angklung Mucho! :)
Dear Angklung members,
Here are some nice clips of the new song we are doing, Besame Mucho. The first one here is the slower version sung by Andrea Bocelli, a blind but accomplished Italian singer. You can hear the rhythm of the drums in the background - perhaps that's the style we are looking for:
I'm looking for a faster version for you all... will upload if I find it :)

Holiday thoughts...
Dear Angklung members,
Here I am at the beginning of the school holidays and I'm in a day full of meetings :( At any rate, I hope you had a good practice today and are looking forward to the next practice.
Like I said, we're running low in resources for instructor fees :(( so I hope you all will buck up and be more focussed during practices so that we can CUT DOWN on instructor fees (NO MARNEE already!!) Or else you all got to teach yourselves for SYF 2010, and that's unimaginable.
Anyone got any ideas how to overcome this problem? :)
