Xinyao
Xinyao (Chinese: 新谣; pinyin: Xīnyáo) is a genre of songs that is unique to Singapore. It is a contemporary Mandarin vocal genre that emerged and rise to fame in Singapore between late 1970s to 1980s. Xinyao songs are composed and sung by Singaporeans and it is an outlet for them to express their thoughts and feelings around themes like friendships or love stories. Xinyao is a Chinese noun comprising two words: Xīn (新) which is an abbreviation for Singapore, and yáo (谣) for song. The extended form is Xīnjiāpō gēyáo (新加坡歌谣), which simply means "Singapore songs". Xinyao can be clearly identified by its distinctive style of Mandarin genre, that are being conveyed through poetic lyrics with clean acoustics accompaniments. With a group of people singing and harmonizing together, usually accompanied solely by the guitar. As the movement grew and became semi-commercialized in the early 1990s, more sophisticated accompaniments with drums, castanets etc. were adopted. Early pioneers of this style of music include Wong Hong Mok (黄宏墨), Liang Wern Fook (梁文福), who has since become a prolific local songwriter, Billy Koh who discovered and groomed many successful Singapore artistes into the Asia Chinese-Pop music scene (including Kit Chan (陈洁仪), A-Do (阿杜) and JJ Lin) (林俊杰), Lee Wei-Song, Lee Shih Shiong, and Eric Moo (巫启贤).
