June 21: South Jkt Cavido choir concert

Just dropped by my church choir rehearsal for tomorrow's evening concert (see just some of the gorgeous singers in the picture on the right). The reherasal started at 8.15 p.m., thank God I took a nap. I won't be a singer, just dropping by.

Mm ... quite a surprise to have learnt the musical genres prepared. Not only will the regular church songs be performed, but the 30th Anniversary of CAVIDO church choir (mostly youth in the 20s and 30s) also covers Bee Gees songs. It was my delight to have helped them with some aspirated sounds of the lyrics, such as pronouncing 'talk' with aspirated /t/ in the song "WORDS", and 'try to understand'. Just a small favour. Glad they liked my analogy to how famous actor Ari Wibowo and actress Sophia Latjuba spoke in Indonesian. "Saya thidhak thau khenapha ..."

Here are the details I posted in the mailing list:
