Aidilfitri song with dikir barat twist

Syahir Shafein, Wanns Ahmad, and Shah Reza himself. According to Shah Reza, the project is part of his efforts to elevate Kelantan’s identity in the entertainment industry while showcasing the unique culture of Cik Siti Wan Kembang through a festive song. “The dikir barat concept was chosen because this genre often revitalises older songs with new lyrics. The original lyrics have been adapted into the Kelantanese dialect, accompanied by traditional musical elements such as drums and Ma l ays i a ’ s A sea n c h a irm a n s hip .

handclaps,” he said. For the music video, Shah Reza opted for a modern and vibrant concept, deviating from the traditional village setting typically seen in Raya-themed productions, to appeal to younger audiences and children. “I wanted to capture the attention of the younger generation. If we stick to the usual village concept, it might not stand out as much. So, I decided to give it a fresh and dynamic touch.” The producer of the historical drama Tuan Petri Saadong added that the project was produced on a

modest budget, as all participating artistes joined voluntarily out of their shared passion for preserving Kelantanese arts and culture, Bernama reported. He said the lyrics are simple and easy to remember, focusing on Kelantanese people living abroad, with a central message encouraging them to return home for Aidilfitri. The song, recorded at a studio in Jalan Ampang will be released on Shah Reza’s YouTube channel, as well as shared across the social media accounts of the participating artistes.
