New Dawn

If you've never heard this bunch of kids singing, you've missed out on too much. A group of ordinary boys, aged between 7 and 14, projecting the vocal orchestration of an angelic choir...


The boys who make up the vocal band Libera have been described as “normal” and “ordinary”. However, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is truly extraordinary. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have ever heard. At times plaintive, at others climactic and transcendent. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time.


I'm tempted to say something about the way they speak English in comparison with the local Malaysian and Singaporean English that so often makes me cringe; but I'll reserve that for another day. (Sigh... whither our culture?)


Both their singing and speaking got me gawking. See for yourself:
