KAKOKI

We are the builders of the land, shaping our own destiny. In the pulse of the earth, we seek grace, striving to find our place. Surrounded by rules and expectations, survival alone is not enough. A rising fall, a lifting struggle—what is our song? In the end, we are the deciders of our fate.
KAKOKI, an acronym for ‘Kata Kota Kita’ (“What Our City Says”), embodies the spirit, struggles, and complexities of our shared journey—as individuals, as a tribe, and as a community.
Nadi Singapura seizes every opportunity in their performances, blending intense drumming, movement, chants, and melodies drawn from the rich traditions and culture of the Malay community, both past and present.
Rindu rindu
Air yang mengalir,
bak hujan yang turun
Cahaya mentari,
membawa ku pergi
Biji yang ditanam,
dibaja disiram
Diharap tak layu,
mekar berlagu
Darah yang mengalir,
jasad yang menanggung
Alam pun berbisik,
menjunjung agung
Kisah dicerita,
membawa maksud
Gelora di jiwa,
kan terus terwujud
Rindu, rindu yang berbisikkan cinta
Rindu, rindu yang mendamaikan jiwa
