“Singkang NR”
Since 2012, their expressive approach resembles the indigenous origins and cultural roots of each member in Nading Rhapsody. The Sea Dayak (Iban), Land Dayak (Bidayuh), Highlanders (Orang Ulu), and Coastal People (Melanau) are among the indigenous people of Sarawak in Borneo Island. Their folk songs, ritual chantings, lullabies, myths, stories and voices are portrayed in this unique cross-cultural repertoire. Singkang NR featured mystical and spiritual notations that are hauntingly beautiful with indigenously paradoxical, radical, provocative and rebellious elements.

“Libretto of Ensera : Sendi”
Their latest offering, opulently titled “Libretto of Ensera : Sendi” is arguably their most personal to date and has made its debut in 2017.
‘Pua Kumbu’ is considered being a sacred object. It is used in numerous uses and great significance in the traditional life of the Iban community.
The “Libretto of Ensera : Sendi” collects some of the tradition practices into one piece performance by introducing the magnificence of ‘Pua Kumbu’ and the emerging of ‘Sendi’, the enigma from the ornaments on the ‘Pua Kumbu’.
