80 Minutes, 10 Musicians, 14 Songs. Irama Tanah Air (ITA) will take you on a whirlwind world tour through music, journeying from Asia to Scandinavia, South America to the Middle East, and more. Titled Around the World in 80 Minutes, the performance promises us 14 local and global pieces - some classics, some brand new - by six different musical arrangers. We speak to Bernard Goh, the Founder & Artistic Director of both Hands Percussion and Irama Tanah Air, to discover what's in store at this musical concert.
