KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran singer Datuk Sharifah Aini said Malay singers should feel embarrassed if they refuse to sing Asli songs.
Asli songs are the heart and soul of Malay songs. I am doing the ghazal concert to show the younger generation that this genre of music can appeal to both the young and old if they were given a new lease of life with beautiful arrangements in symphony style, said Sharifah, when talking about her three-night performance, dubbed Konsert Simfoni Ghazal Johor Bersama Sharifah Aini, from Sept 5 to 7.
