Awesome discussions.. I'm already starting to envisage something fantastic..
as per usual, APRALO team :)

The Dikir Barat sounds interesting - I checked it out on wikipaedia - a
group singing competition? Involving children would be different.. how long
would a performance last, Kuek? Rinalia?

Kuek, 

I had no idea you like Dikir Barat.  I come from a place where Dikir Barat
is indigenous to my culture, so I find it an intriguing proposal. :)
