Performance for ASEAN Youth Caucus @ NACLI

Date of Performance(s): 22nd April 2007.

Sounds Easy was invited to sing for the welcome dinner for the Youth Caucus, a meeting of youths and leaders from the Association of South East Asian Members (ASEAN) on the last Sunday of April 2007. This fairly high profile event was hosted and organised by the People Association's Youth Movement (PAYM), and the dinner took place at the lush and tranquil National Community Learning Institute(NACLI).

Despite being given only a week to prepare, Sounds Easy managed to present an all acappella performance of three evergreens that dazzled the audience, many of whom came from different parts of ASEAN. The performance took place in NACLI's Learning Lounge, a cosy air-conditioned hall with a small stage. We started the show with a medley of two pop songs-Berlinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and Tifanny's "I think we are alone". This was followed by "Stand By Me", and that seemed to strike a chord with the audience, as some of them were seen tapping with our music. We closed the show with "Kokomo", a song that was familiar to most. After the show, Sounds Easy was treated to a delightful buffet that was made up of yummy Asian cuisines. We would like to thank PAYM for inviting us to be part of this international event, and we look forward to more of such opportunities. We would also like to thank the audience, who were very supportive and appreciative during our performance.
