The TENG Company's video: Thedichoru - Shabir X The TENG Ensemble

We are excited to kick-start the first of three music videos in our brand new Triptych Series with Thedichoru! Featuring a collaboration with Tamil music artist, Shabir. The Triptych Series aims to recognise the contributions and the pivotal roles that our migrant community has played in building Singapore. We hope to enliven and bring cheer to the lives of the Indian migrants through inspirational messages of strength, resilience and faith with this music video. The video is also part of Shabir’s LETTERS musical webisodes. -- Produced by Shabir Melody composed by: Shabir Poem by: “Mahakavi” Bharahthiyar Directed by Abbas Akbar (Comicbook) Executive Project Manager - Vinaita Sivakumar Executive Music Producer (For Shabir Music) - Buvan Advisor - K H Raja Mohamad -- In collaboration with Shabir Creative Director: Dr Samuel Wong Arranger: Chow Junyi Music Producer: Joel Nah Recording and Mixing: Poco Productions Production Manager: Cherlyn Chong Musicians: Darrel - Erhu Eugene - Bass Jeremy - Pipa Joachim - Percussion Joel - Keyboard Leonard - Guitar “Thedichoru” Soundtrack Mastered by: Anup Pereira at Doppler Soundlab -- Website: https://www.thetengcompany.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetengensemble Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetengensemble Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3HuizOqeIWauF1Jv7NUmPu -- About the Ensemble: The TENG Ensemble is a critically acclaimed Singaporean Chinese fusion music group that bridges between cultures East and West, boasting musical influences from both the traditional and the contemporary.
