KUALA LUMPUR: Music maestro Datuk M. Nasir "rocked" concert hall Zepp KL for two hours tonight, serenading fans with about 20 Hari Raya songs over the ages.
The celebrated singer-composer brought the Hari Raya cheer to 1,500 fans in a new concert experience titled the Dato M N46IR Cipta Show which began at 8pm.
A full-fledged festive gathering set to a sensational soundtrack, the 67-year-old's show saw him unveil a treasure trove of Raya songs he had penned for other artistes throughout his illustrious career.
Besides his iconic and evergreen Satu Hari Di Hari Raya, Nasir also presented fans with Hari Raya Hari Bahagia made famous by Ideal Sisters and later revived by Ramlah Ram, as well as Al-Jawaher's classic Selamat Hari Raya, a nostalgic nod to the early days of Hari Raya songs.
The other songs in his repertoire for the evening included Tan Sri P. Ramlee's poignant Suara Takbir, Dr Sam and Musafir's upbeat Esok Hari Raya and the elegant Selamat Hari Raya by Datuk Ahmad Jais.
Nasir also sang some of his evergreen hit songs such as Hati Emas, Raikan Cinta and Suatu Masa.
Staying true to the Hari Raya spirit of open houses and hospitality, concertgoers were in for an extra treat.
Before the musical magic began, Nasir treated them to a mini Hari Raya party, setting the mood for a truly immersive Raya experience.
The concert's organiser Iman Tang from Icon Entertainment said that he and Nasir discussed giving fans a concert with a difference after his successful M N46IR Cipta 2 concert last October.
"The response to last year's concert was incredible, so I approached Datuk with the idea of a full Raya-themed concert, and he was immediately enthusiastic, mentioning he had composed over 15 such songs," said Iman.
"When you want to present something to Nasir, you have to do your homework and plan meticulously. Fortunately, he truly embraced the vision for Cipta Raya."
The master of ceremonies was Radin of Era FM while the artistes who attended the concert included Alif Satar and Bob Azrai.
