This is lovely setting of a popular Indonesian folk song that arrived on the shores of the sunny island in the early nineteenth century. Dayung Sampan translated means "rowing a wooden boat" and poetically describes the historical and humble journey of Chinese migrants to Singapore. The modal piano accompaniment and optional flute add authentic flavour and texture to this multicultural gem. A pronunciation guide and translation are included.
