INDONESIAN singer Datuk Seri Rossa’s (pic) concert here recently not only showcased her career of more than 20 years but also highlighted her work with musicians, backup singers, dancers and guest singers from Malaysia and Indonesia, Harian Metro reported.
The concert held at the Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, attracted about 8,000 fans who enjoyed Rossa’s robust performance consisting of almost 30 songs including duets with guest singers throughout the three-hour show.
Rossa sang various hit songs, including Pudar, Hati Yang Kau Sakiti, Atas Nama Cinta, Ayat-Ayat Cinta and Hey Ladies.
However, her tribute segment for national songstress Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza piqued the interest of the audience on that night.
Rossa sang four of Siti’s popular songs during the 10-minute segment – Gelora Asmara, Percayalah, Biarlah Rahsia and Bukan Cinta Biasa.
The audience went into a frenzy when Siti appeared on stage with her husband Datuk Seri Khalid Mohamad Jiwa, and effortlessly sang her song Percayalah with Rossa.
