The 24-Festive Drums performance, which originated in Johor Bahru 33 years ago, was listed as a Malaysia Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. This "oriental rock music", which fuses traditional Chinese cultural elements and contemporary concepts, is popular among young people. Mr. Tan Chai Puan will share the evolution of the 24-Festive Drums, including its tropical birthplace Malaysia, and its impressive communicative power to transcend societal and cultural boundaries.
