Aidilfitri Kembali..

Orkid-orkid juga, tapi raya jangan dilupa.. :) 

Kepada pengunjung blog yang merayakan Aidilfitri, OC ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin jikalau ada perkara, cerita atau kata-kata yang mengguris perasaan..

Many are the wishes
that are being sent your way,

but this is a special one
for a very happy Eid Day !

          Aidilfitri rasa tak lengkap kalau tak dengar lagu ni..Lagu apa? Dengar muzik intro pun kita dah tahu..Sebuah lagu yang sungguh ikonik dan telah menjadi tradisi untuk didendangkan pada Hari Raya. Kalau selalu kita dengar yang ada suara tapi kali ni kita dengar dalam bentuk instrumental pula yang dimainkan oleh seorang pemuzik berbakat Saudara Eizaz Azhar..

          Malaysian multi-instrumentalist Eizaz Azhar demonstrates a new line of instruments in this special video. This is an arrangement of the song "Seloka Hari Raya" (Celebration Day Dance) and is a classic piece sung by the great Malaysian singers Uji Rashid and Hail Amir. A popular song that talks about the Aidilfitri festival in Malaysia, it is arranged in a traditional Malay folk dance called "joget". A characteristic of the joget style is its polyrhythmic structure; it's basically the time signature of 6/8 over an ostinato of 4/4 and most likely originated from Hindu ancient dances. It is also very similar to the Afro-Cuban nanigo (another rhythm) and has been updated and modernized, even heard in rock and fusion music of Malaysia.

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, 

make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
