This Merdeka, it’s interesting to note that our own independent music scene has blurred racial lines.

AS with any relatively young culture, progress comes slow and steady, but one particular area has seen impressive strides – multiracial appeal across a wide musical audience.

Ramlee, Alleycats and Sheila Majid, and more recently YouTube sensation Zee Avi who went from shopping bazaar stages to the international stage courtesy of Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records.
