Raya songs with Indian drum beats thrill M’sians


PUTRAJAYA: In a bid to ease “racial tensions” on social media, a group of youths from the Sai Naga Urumi Melam put together a special performance of traditional raya songs Suasana Hari Raya and Seloka Hari Raya accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of urumi drums.

To their surprise, their first attempt at this, through two TikTok videos, successfully touched the hearts of Malaysians, especially the Muslim community who recently celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
