The event also features cultural troupes like Siong Leng Music Association, Sin Ee Lye Heng Teochew Puppetry Troupe and a Cantonese opera performance.
Besides offering concert-goers a hearty dose of culture, Getai Soul will have visual arts installations, experimental exhibitions, DJ sets and food stalls. Tickets range from $48 for one day to $78 for two days. More updates can be found on the event’s Facebook page.
