The Magnificent Composers

Spotlighting the golden era of Malay music during the Shaw Brothers period, this special tribute honours the iconic works of legendary Singapore Malay composers such as Zubir Said, Osman Ahmad, Yusoff B., Ahmad Jaafar, Wandly Yazid, P. Ramlee and Kassim Masdor.

The performance also celebrates the late Yusnor Ef’s lyrical contributions to Singapore’s Malay music scene. A prolific lyricist, he penned over 250 songs since the late 1950s and maintained long-standing creative collaborations with Kassim Masdor and his mentor, P. Ramlee. Widely regarded as a human repository of Singapore Malay cultural history, he played a vital role in preserving the legacy of Malay music and film.

Vocalists Rudy Djoe and Sheera J. will be anchoring the performance alongside the Danial Ariffin (D.A.) Band, under the musical direction of Danial Ariffin Azman himself. While the program is primarily in Malay, English translations will be provided by Rudy and Sheera to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the experience.
