A music-filled Syawal


MUSIC has been a constant feature throughout this Syawal.

Alamak! Alamak! Alamak! sung in a G major triad announces the most viral Raya song this year, performed wherever children are at open houses, but most often on social media, where Malaysians and non-Malaysians alike have been creative in embellishing the original dances of De Fam, the girl group which has certainly found renewed fame by accurately capturing the zeitgeist.
