About the performers
Sriwana
Sriwana was formed in 1950 as a Keroncong Party (a traditional Malay Orchestra). Its activities were mainly to entertain guests at wedding parties and taking part in cultural shows organised by local educational bodies, especially the Malay Youth Literary Association (4PM), with whom Sriwana was affiliated, to raise funds.
In 1999 Sriwana had a management change. Sriwana's dance section especially had a "facelift". Under the direction of the new dance management structure, more efforts were put into developing the group professionally, developing new ideas to reflect in our performances and working towards identifying a group difference. Undaunted and unwilling to give up, Sriwana's dance section underwent a major re-organisation and realignment. A new image was identified: younger, fresher, more vibrant and more passionately driven. Nonetheless the group had never compromised the roots or the foundation of the rich traditional values embedded within each member.
Presently, Sriwana has five sections in its organisation for achieving its cultural activities: the Drama group (contemporary and traditional form), Malay Music (traditional and modern form), Dance group, Kompang, and Bengkel Kanak-kanak (Children Workshop). Our membership comprises approximately 200 ordinary members and 100 youth and children members. The five sections are actively involved, in their own ways in various cultural activities in Singapore.
The BonSobre Bros
Brian, Roger and Xavier are a trio who specialize in vocal harmony. The name of the group, "The BonSobre Bros", is derived from the names of its three members - Brian and Roger Bonsobre and Xavier Sayson. After his stint in the army, Brian planned to go to Europe to play music professionally. However, being a level-headed young man, he rationalized that it would be tough going with the amount of competition found there. So he decided to team up with his brother Roger to try out the local entertainment scene. As they began to get bigger and better assignments, they persuaded their cousin, Xavier Sayson, to join the outfit.
Coming from a musically inclined family, it was not surprising that the boys were drawn to the music profession. As a matter of fact, their grandfather was a professional musician.
