With the ebb of cultural nationalism in the 1970s, the Malay music scene saw a divergence into two disparate strands. On one hand, the resurgence of religion during the period saw the of dakwah nasyid – religious songs sung in modern rhythms and music arrangement. On the other hand, the Nusantara (Malay World) – also grew in prominence with singers and groups like Kopratasa and M Nasir. Today, a new kind of spiritual songs by musicians like M Sarip has overtaken those genres in popularity. By learning about the shifting popularity of musical genres, audiences will gain a deeper understanding of how Malay culture has evolved across the decades.This programme is a part of Textures 2019, click here for the full festival line-up.About Textures - A Weekend With Words 7 - 10 Mar, Thu - Sun Textures - A Weekend With Words returns for its sophomore edition at The Arts House after a successful inaugural run in 2018!
