Singapore’s cultural diversity is also evident in its thriving arts and music scene. The country celebrates both traditional and contemporary arts, showcasing the contributions of its various ethnic communities.
Traditional performances such as wayang kulit (shadow puppetry), silat (martial arts), and Malay dance are regularly featured during cultural festivals. These performances allow Singaporeans to connect with the cultural roots of the Malay community and enjoy the beauty of its arts.
In addition to traditional art forms, Singapore also embraces contemporary fusion. Traditional Chinese, Malay, and Indian music often blends with modern genres, creating a unique sound that resonates with people from all ethnic backgrounds. Events like the Singapore Arts Festival and performances at The Esplanade provide a platform for local artists to showcase their work, further promoting cultural exchange.
