In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

The Edoens

Mixed Semi-Pro Sextet from Bandung, Indonesia

The Edoenss an Indonesian a cappella vocal ensemble founded in August 2021. The group consists of six dedicated singers - 1 soprano, 2 altos, 2 tenors, and 1 bass - covering a really broad vocal range from C2 to D6 (and possibly higher!). Its name is taken from a playful Sundanese word 'edoen' (edun), which means 'wow' as well as 'crazy'. The word was a label given to a social group we, the six singers, were part of during our college years; most possibly in a reference to our 'unusual' behaviours, ha! As a sextet of singers who are serious about our music but without taking ourselves too seriously, the name seems fitting.

Founded - 2021. A Cappella.

Moon River

61 years ago in October 1961, the song "Moon River" was introduced to the world in the "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Did you know that the song was almost cut from the movie? Thank goodness Audrey Hepburn told the president of Paramount Pictures they would cut it out of the movie over her dead body!

Saved by Hepburn, the song went on to win the Oscar for Best Original Song (and many other awards) and beautifully enrich our music world.

And now, we, The Edoens, presents our 6-parts a cappella version of this beloved song. We sincerely hope you'll enjoy it.
