The members of local rock band Ramayan couldn’t quite explain what made them all decide to play together as a five-piece group. Somehow, it all happened naturally.

Drummer Muhammad Naquyuddin Azeem (also known as Que), 21, described the group formation back in 2014 as “instinctive”. Vocalist/guitarist Mohamed Syafi’i Nasir, 21, explained that he and Que were previously in a band called Remote. They only played English songs and felt that something was lacking.
