Di mana kan ku cari ganti serupa dengan mu?

ASSALAMUALAIKUM!

There u go...my salam to all of u...extended in CAPS. It has been AAAAAAGES since I last blogged. There was nothing major which was holding me back. I was just plain LAAAAAZY!

Anyway, I'm sure many of you watched the awesome documentary about the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee (shown on History Channel CH555). My heart broke towards the end of the documentary. Such a talented superstar he was, but he died as a poor man (rich in talent). Sad...seriously it was! His creativity in singing, acting, directing...all only being appreciated years after his death.

I can go on and on venting about this, but it will only make my manic Monday worst. All I have to say to conclude it all is - DI MANA KAN KU CARI GANTI SERUPA DENGAN MU?

How about enjoying and appreciating his good music for now..lets get on into the mood.

A few days ago, a few young indie performers collaborated to present an INTERPOLASI (a new Malay word I learned) - which simply means lagu lama yang diberi nafas baru. The show was a lot of crap honestly, especially those which were presented the rock kapak way. Sifu M.Nasir's rendition was a total let down.

Owh well, I'm not here to go on giving bad comments. I'm just gonna highlight the good ones. My Aizat Amdan was a darling superb star that nite. Vince surprised me when initially I thought to myself "Cina Mat Salleh nie, dah la tak pandai SANGAT cakap Melayu...nak nyanyi lagu P.Ramlee pulak?"...he was not bad at all!

The icing oN the cake for me that night has got to be me idol - Yuna. Her rendition of P.Ramlee's Gelora Jiwa was Oooo La La...AWESOME! Antique, the modern way.

Enuf said...let's enjoy some good P.Ramlee music presented by the younger generation.
