The Frankie Sixes - Tepuk Amai-Amai (Official Lindy Hop Music Video)

To celebrate the release of the first single off our debut self-titled, original Malaysian swing jazz EP, we asked a few lindy hop friends to video themselves dancing to it. What we got back was 105 dancers from 12 countries, showing us their love for music and dance. We started out playing for the lindy community and we’re so happy they could be a part of this. Thank you each and everyone one of you!
