At its 10th anniversary performance, it was clear that SMU's resident percussion group, Samba Masala, isn't just a bunch of kids happy to bang on drums and raise some noise. Led by music instructor and founder, Idham Budiman and Riduan Zalani, the 20-somethings belted out pulsating rhythms that were also well choreographed, thanks to Bryan Lee, the resident mastermind of movement. Divided into five parts, each movement depicted a period of time in the lives of most Singaporeans – from school (Childhood Memories) to National Service (Green Days) and working adulthood (Concrete Jungle) – laced with pulsating exuberance that offered a jolt better than caffeine to any in the audience who might have been jaded by life in the Lion City.
