Greetings!
I am Nat Paragas, a member of the student chorale of St. Luke’s College of Medicine here in the Philippines, and I must say and I believe I speak in behalf of our group, that we are a BIG fan of the ITB choir when we first heard your group on Youtube last month ago singing various songs both in Bahasa and English.
This coming February, a competition will be held for College of Medicine schools and we have picked the song “Janger” as our choice piece to sing for said competition. Unfortunately, we are having a hard time getting our hands on the piece itself and videos from the internet would not suffice. Also, contact information for your choir is hard to get by and we are now desperate, thus, this letter of request happens to get into the comments section in your blog.
With this, we are now humbly asking for your help regarding this matter. Please email me at nat_pogi@yahoo.com for your reply.
Hoping for a favorable response, I remain,
Truly yours,
Nat Paragas
