Odds are, you’ve already heard of Pitahati. They are five: the brothers Mohd Ilham (lead vocalist, guitar, piano), Mohd Yasin (drums, synths) and Mohd Hidayat (guitars, synths), as well as Awang Masrin (bass, mandolin) and Ezhar ‘Zahar’ Hamdan (guitar). In 2011, Pitahati was formed; and since then, they’ve cut one EP, two full-length albums, and two years ago scored Nik Amir Mustapha’s ‘Terbaik Dari Langit’. The question of whether ‘Selamat Datang Ke Panggung Suara’, the band’s sophomore and most recent release, is better than their previous releases is beside the point; it stands apart, on its own, even if early marketing efforts were accompanied by the tag ‘bunyi-bunyian dari filem “Terbaik Dari Langit”’. ‘Selamat Datang ke Panggung Suara’ jolts the Malaysian music legacy; it bottles the spirit of nusantara music – taking cues from dangdut, keronchong tunes and P Ramlee classics – but transposes it into a whole new, modern context. It’s kaleidoscopic, amalgamating elements of a range of sounds – from psychedelic blues to progressive rock – into a cohesive final statement on the band’s career thus far. Today, Pitahati is at the frontline of the new Malay alternative scene: the experimental, nusantara psych-rockonauts reviving a revolution. - Tim Out KLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oM53eIx1iIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_5b425JJ0wABOUT BAYANGANBayangan is the moniker used by Malaysian singer songwriter and neo-folk artist, Fikri Fadzil.
