about

At the very core of NNN is the element of ethnic Indian music. Over the years our opening song has enjoyed some epic jams featuring various guests on Carnatic vocals and tabla battles. The lyrics are also tweaked each concert for context. Before we feature all our special guests on this album, we would like you to first meet the original members of Naughty “Noor” Nice: Joanna Dong, Aya Sekine and of course, our namesake Mohamed Noor!

lyrics

“Come”, they told me
A Christmas band to see
They have their own CD
Because you gave money
So they honour you
By having fun

Aya from Japan
She plays piano
One Chinese girl who sings
They’re gonna do their thing
And one Indian boy
On his drum

Audience nodding
The tabla boy kept time
She played the Shruti
I tried my best to sing
Then we smiled at him
Him and his drum

Made in Singapore. ... more
