  • Resumen

  • Local pop music was heavily informed by Western pop in the 1960s.

    Many Malay youths in Singapore were crazy about rock ’n roll, and back then, almost all of them wanted to join a band in their kampong, which they saw as a step towards the ultimate dream of becoming a rock star. Theatre practitioner and educator Aidli Mosbit’s father was one such kampong mat rocker.

    He formed a band with a few good friends, which toured Singapore and Malaysia. They incorporated the influences of Western rock music with Malay folk melodies and unique vocals, and even wrote a song based on the legend of the swordfish of Bukit Merah.

    In this episode of The Objects that Made Us, we look back on this rollicking chapter of our past.
