Tan Chen Lin, Christiana
Cortador
Voted most likely to be married to her instrument
Through months of sweating it out with her cortador, Christiana's body has formed great and irreversible bonds with her surdo... in the forms of bruises, cuts, scars and mutant bones. Not only has she sacrificed a promising modeling career, she fears that life would be meaningless without her beloved bass drum. Watch her kick ass in Samba Masala before she gets sold off to the circus. |

Crystal Wong
Cortador
Voted most likely to be the "thorn amongst the roses".
Crystal, a level 1 surdo player, is the only girl in her batch of surdo players. Despite being small, she is as able to whack the surdos as the guys would. She has been known to move very vigourously with the surdos, sustaining numerous injuries and even holes in four shirts so far. However, this will never stop her from grooving to the Samba beat! |

Shaun Lee Wei Sheng
Cortador
Voted most likely to have the Looooongest and Loooooudest BURP.
Shaun, an infamous Burpist who graduated from the Burp University of Reestablished Professionals (B.U.R.P) with a Summa Cum Laude Cert, loves to burp while hitting the Surdo during all his performances. Members of Samba loves it when he burps for the exotic smell gives Samba more Swing~ OH~ |

Marcação
Voted most likely to invent a McSurdo Burger.

Sondra Kim Yung
Cortador
Voted most likely to have super human strength.
Sondra has been known to juggle sticks, surdos and Trudy during Samba Masala’s more energetic performances. Audiences have been warned. |

Trudy Tan
Cortador/Resposta
Voted most likely to be the most distinctive person during performances.
With a height of 2.1 m, Trudy has the ability to see every single person in the audience even though she stands at the back row, playing her surdo. She was once invited to play against Yao Ming from Houston Rockets. |
|
Tan Liang Jian
Cortador/Marcação
Voted most likely to be rejected as a face painter.
Since its introduction in Samba Masala's performances, the allure of face painting has never ceased to fascinate Liang Jian. In spite of his obvious passion (and not inconsiderable skill), he faces constant ridicule and rejection when he attempts to use fellow band members as canvasses for his art. Heartbreaking as that may be, Liang Jian vows never to let that get in the way of his quest for face painting perfection. |

Lin Yiffeng Triston
Resposta
Voted most likely to have the ability to break weird silences
Triston, often mistaken to be a freshman (but is currently in his sophomore), has always led his band into frenzy cheerings with his inapporpriate screams and sound effect. BEWARE! He'll flaunt his 360 body swirl while playing his favorite piece of samba tune,Shango. |

Jonathan Gan Yiqin
Resposta/Marcação

Kenneth Loy
Cortador
Voted most likely to have traversed the breadth of the globe and its 193 sovereign countries.
When Kenneth is not sounding his surdo or drumming up a din with his dhol, he enjoys giving the eardrums of his friends and family some respite by embarking on leisurely jaunts through exotic locales such as Swaziland, Azerbaijan, Mozambique, Belize and Armenia. The avid sambista and some-time itinerant engages in occasional scholarly pursuits and believes that wayfaring is the way of life. |
|
Pang Yee Huat
Cortador
Voted most likely to go crazy during performances.
Yee Huat plays the Cortador, a response/cutting surdo. But when the beat gets hot, Yee Huat will morph into Pangtucada, a unique Samba rhythm combines both traditional Samba beats and opera singing |

Oliver Chan
Resposta
Voted most likely to have unknown super powers.
Oliver, known to exude the most incredible powers when he performs. Only thing is he doesn’t know what powers shows up at different times. Audiences beware, because you’ll never know what hit you! |
