Synopsis

Irama Jiwa traces Rifa’ah’s musical roots, diving into the sounds that shaped his childhood. Like many Malay kids growing up, he was deeply influenced by the timeless songs of legends like P. Ramlee, Ahmad Daud and R. Ismail—artists he discovered through countless hours spent rewatching classic Malay films.

 

In an intimate set, he will be revisiting the music that moulded him into the artist he is today, alongside some of his own originals, including Cenderawasih, Kerna Delylah, and never-before-heard tracks.
