KARTINA DAHARI - Di Tanjung Katong

'Di Tanjung Katong', practically one of Singapore's cultural anthems. Tanjong Katong was also described lovingly in P.Ramlee's hauntingly beautiful song 'Nak Dara Rindu'. Today's Tanjung Katong is a far cry from the romances described in either songs, more concrete than beach and blue water! Kartina Dahari studied at the Tanjong Katong Girl's School in the 50s & 60s. This song was recorded for the 1974/75 album "Rasa Sayang Eh" of folksy/traditional songs by various EMI artistes. It was later included in her 1976 album 'Senandung Lagu Lama'.
