Old School: Uà sị Diọjiunāng


Ah Niu and his buddy created a whole album (the name escapes me.. but i think the album name might be the name of this song too) of Teochew and Hokkien songs back in the 90s. They're both from Malaysia, and the name of this song is 我們一家都是人 We are all one family of people. It's particularly interesting to me because it uses both Hokkien and Teochew in the same song, and yet I can understand both. In Malaysia and Singapore, Teochew and Hokkien is very very similar. Enjoy this blast from the past. I like the kiddy illustrations.

* Is that a dress that they are calling "mua:"? I'd call it gūng.

  1. "mua" is not dress "gung".
    Its also call "sarung" in Malay language.
