Budak Pantai can be summed up in one word: “fun”. The quintet, billed as “five men and a guitar” and hence not exactly a cappella, have a well-earned reputation for being ceaselessly entertaining and irreverent. With five albums, one EP and numerous gigs under their belt, they are a hit everywhere they go, making audiences reportedly swoon, sing along and laugh out loud. Always adaptable and giving their best every time they perform live, they can easily belt out Christmas humdingers and ABBA evergreens as well as original zingers in English and Mandarin.
