About this album
After 14 years together, Singapore Char Siew Bao! is releasing their unique take on Top 40 Pop Music, starting with a Chinese New Year EP, Ho Ho Ho & Huat Huat Huat! Featuring not one but TWO Chinese New Year songs in English, the Baos are hoping to reach the increasing number of non-Chinese speakers who celebrate Chinese New Year.
Rooted in the spirit of #inclusivity, these songs draw inspiration from how Chinese New Year has been getting closer to Christmas over the years, as well as the undeniable similarities between Santa Claus and the traditional Chinese God of Fortune.
