Summary
OUT NOW: Tribute to SG Music Icons: Tamagoh – 40 Years of Rhythm & Resilience 🥁✨ “Put your egos outside the door when you are practicing.” 🚪🚫🙌 In this special edition of the Tribute to SG Music Icons series, I sit down with a man whose name is synonymous with the drums in Singapore: TAMAGOH. 🇸🇬🎵 For over 40 years, Tama has been the engine room for some of the greatest musical moments in our nation’s history. From his 35-year partnership with Jeremy Monteiro to backing international stars like Sandy Lam and Sarah Brightman, his journey is a masterclass in versatility and professional longevity. 🎹🌟 In this episode, we explore: 🥁 The origin of the name "Tama" and his early "kampong" roots. 🌃 The golden era of Singapore’s nightlife and the transition to global jazz stages. 🎙️ His technical evolution and long-standing relationship with Shure gear. 🏙️ His pivot to leadership as Director of the Singapore Street Festival. 🚲 The physical and mental discipline of a musician who cycles 150km a week to stay sharp! This isn't just a talk about music; it’s a conversation about the heart, soul, and timing it takes to become a true icon. ❤️🔥 Watch the full conversation now! 📺👇 https://youtu.be/U7o05joTsr8
