Alunan Kampung Gelam

Alunan Kampung Gelam is a Singapore-based music collective, initiated in 2023 by Faizah Jamal, a third-generation Kampung Gelam resident, with her children Azura and Almira. Inspired by their father/grandfather, baritone Ahmad Jamal of Radio Malaya, they continue the music legacy of their heritage-rich neighbourhood.  In their multi-generational family home where both Ahmad Jamal and Faizah were born, they gather with friends to make music. The collective’s musical interests are an eclectic mix of opera, classical music, Irish/Scottish folk music, songs of the Nusantara and beyond.

For their performances, they have been joined by Li Jiaqi, Thaddeus Chung Yu, Pip Clark, Henry Ashworth and Riduan Zalani.
