SINGAPORE: River Hongbao returns this year with three performing groups from overseas, so if you are heading to the Esplanade Park during the Lunar New Year celebrations, expect songs, tribal dances and even acrobatic feats.
Singer Qiu Lin is said to sound a lot like the late Taiwanese songstress Teresa Teng. Even her cheongsam used to belong to the singer and is on loan from Teng's brother.
Qiu Lin is performing at the River Hongbao from 5 to 7 February.
Joining her in the chorus is a troupe from Tibet called the Lhasa Municipal Ethnic Art Troupe.
There are also acrobats from Taiwan who will be cart-wheeling to the songs of Taiwanese tribal minorities.
The groups perform from 8pm to 10pm every night from 4 to 16 February.
On Lunar New Year's eve, the performance will run from 10pm to 12.30am.
