3) Sit back and enjoy the most unorthodox 'The Girl From South Sea (nan hai gu niang)' ever!


Some of the for this song, some of the best musicians in the scene are featured. They include percussionist Valtinho Anastacio from Brazil, trumpeter Eddy Wen, saxophonist Julian Chan and of course our maestro pianist-cum-arranger Tay Cher Siang from Malaysia.


Tay Cher Siang's idea of this bold arrangement is inspired by the fact that "The girl from south sea" was written by a Malaysian composer in the 1970s, so he could be inspired by Jobim's "Girl from Ipanema" which carries the same sentiments lyrically. So he thought it would be a good idea to fuse the two versions together and have a fabulous crossover. yes, indeed, that was how the arrangement was born! 


Mixing and mastering was done by Nick Lee of the Ark Studios. 


This definitive version emphasizes more on the instruments and overall musicality (unlike the normal edition, which is more vocals-centric). It has better palpability, bass (lows), highs, separation and imaging, etc, compared with the normal edition.
