KAKOKI by NADI Singapura

We are the builders of the land shaping our own destiny. In the pulse of the earth we seek grace striving to find our place. Surrounded by rules and expectations survival alone is not enough. A rising fall a lifting struggle—what is our song? In the end we are the deciders of our fate.

KAKOKI an acronym for 'Kata Kota Kita' (""What Our City Says"") embodies the spirit struggles and complexities of our shared journey—as individuals as a tribe and as a community.

Nadi Singapura seizes every opportunity in their performances blending intense drumming movement chants and melodies drawn from the rich traditions and culture of the Malay community both past and present.

Rindu rindu

Air yang mengalir

bak hujan yang turun

Cahaya mentari

membawa ku pergi

Biji yang ditanam

dibaja disiram

Diharap tak layu

mekar berlagu

Darah yang mengalir

jasad yang menanggung

Alam pun berbisik

menjunjung agung

Kisah dicerita

membawa maksud

Gelora di jiwa

kan terus terwujud

Rindu rindu yang berbisikkan cinta

Rindu rindu yang mendamaikan jiwa
