Cultural mash-up: When a sitar ensemble ushers in CNY



PETALING JAYA: A 10-piece sitar ensemble’s rendition of a popular Chinese New Year tune is wowing Malaysians on social media.
The performance is the brainchild of Malaysian sitar maestro Samuel J. Dass, who every year produces an instrumental piece commemorating the various festivals celebrated in Malaysia.
For this year’s Chinese New Year, Dass came-up with a 10-piece sitar ensemble accompanied by guitar, cajon and sound effects.

“We may belong to different ethnicities but are bound by the common identity of being Malaysian, ” said Dass. - Star
