Record breaking hi-tea with more than 30 artistes performing from Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia in a red carpet Malay entertainment record event to celebrate Selebriti’s 2nd year Anniversary!

The Malay entertainment industry makes history this month with the official launch of the Malay Artistes Association (MAA). The association is steered by a 13-member Management Committee comprising of local heavyweights representing various sectors of the industry – executives, singers, actors, hosts, scriptwriters, producers, theatre activists, creative and other performing talents.

Registered in late October 2009, MAA seeks to uplift the professional standards of the Malay artistes’ community in Singapore with its welfare efforts, skills upgrading courses, members’ activities as well as talent management and promotions. Advocating its pro-partnership policy, MAA plans to be the ‘official channel’ in talents engagement and as the ‘representative voice’ when dealing with industry stakeholders and establishments, locally and abroad.

MAA will be launched with some funfare at the Glamor 2010 ! event. Glamor 2010 ! is a red-carpet hi tea event that sets a new record with more than 30 performing artistes from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Pop icon of Malaysia – Ogy Ahmad Daud, one of Indonesian brightest stars – Intan Nuraini and Singapore’s own favourite – Hady Mirza (Singapore and Asian Idol) will be leading an all-stars line-up that also include Black Dog Bone, SleeQ, Hyrul Anwar, Eka Mairina, Faizal Isa, Revalina, Iron Will, Mak Dara and some of MAA’s own members. Glamor 2010 ! has also attracted come-back artistes such as Norleena Salim of the Boom Boom Room fame who will be returning from Australia to support the event.

Glamor 2010 ! also commemorates the 2nd Anniversary of Selebriti. The 2-year old magazine has now boosted its reach locally and internationally by being the only Malay publication with an online version, a webTV network and a membership discount club.

Glamor 2010 ! will be held on the 27th of Feb 2010 at Canning Ballroom, Raffles City Convention Hall from 2pm to 5pm. Tickets at $75 are still available at Muzika Record @ Joo Chiat Complex.

The past 10 years have been a long eventful ride for them, and to mark this, an electrifying event is set to commemorate Suria’s anniversary.

More than 60 artistes will be part of ‘Suria Elektra’, including Singapore Idols Taufik Batisah and Hady Mirza. The newly crowned Sarah Aqilah will also be performing. In an effort to maintain a good ties with neighbouring countries, ‘Pianka’, from Indonesia, a female trio, famous for their hit, ‘Yang Besar Besar Saja’ is also present. The special treats come in the form of Anang Hermansyah and Dato Siti Nurhaliza.

Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza, who appeared in Suria’s inaugural launching back in 2000, will be making a ceremonious comeback. Najip Ali, another prominent face of Suria, will also be hosting tonight. Najip have been involved in various programmes for Suria throughout the years via his own production house, DuaM.

Backed with a full orchestra, performances also feature Hyrul Anuar, Maiya Rahman, Fauzie Laily, Fuad Rahman, and many more familiar faces.

Suria will also be launching their new logo together with its much anticipated programme lineup for the year! Tahniah Suria!

‘Suria Elektra’ will be telecast LIVE tonight from Mediacorp Theatre, at 8.30pm only on Suria Channel.  Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong and Mrs Lee will be the Guests-of-Honour for the show.

Promotion began early for five member Ungu, even before tickets are released, as they prepare for their major concert here this April. The band, lead byvocalist/guitarist, Mr Captivating Pasha last appeared in August last year for Iftar with Darul Ma’wa.

Ungu have released a total of 8 albums eversince they first set up in 2002, inclusive of 3 religious albums – a trend amongst Indonesian artistes, normally released in the month of Ramadhan. ‘Demi Waktu’, taken off their album ‘Melayang’ received enormous response in 2006.

A coincidental emotional period for Pasha and his ex wife, and Rossa’s divorce brought them to a poignant duet in ‘Terlanjur Cinta’ which, again became another hit. They were also featured in ‘Andai Ku Tahu’ and ‘Tercipta Untukku’, OST Ayat Ayat Cinta. Among their chart topping numbers are ‘Kekasih Gelapku’, ‘Cinta Dalam Hati’ and more.

Tickets will be available for sale in Sistic in February, as reported in their Facebook page, now flooded by enthusiastic fans. VIP tickets will also be on sale, inclusive of post party and Meet and Greet session with the band.

POPAGENDA is a new variety programme, airing on Suria next month! On every episode, 2 local singers, and an established guest artiste will showcase ala Mentor to the them.  A local composer will also be introduced on every show. There’s a panel of evaluators made up of Ajai (Malaysia), Yuvie (Indonesia’s Duo – Yuvie & Nuno) & Hanim Mohd Salleh (Berita Harian, Singapore).  Reminds us quite a bit of TV-Ism.

For the recording of the first episode which I attended, Hyrul Anuar, Maiya Rahman & Andre (Sound Salvation) performed alongside the first Malaysian Idol Jaclyn Victor as the guest artiste/mentor! Hosted by the multi-talented Najip Ali, it was an interesting event where the featured artiste had to perform live and after every performance, the panel shared their comments. Sungguh pedas dan menyengat - that’s how I will describe it! A short interview session with the artiste and the host were slotted in.

Jaclyn Victor kick-started the show with her soulful rendition of Alicia Key’s ”No One”. Hyrul then shook the stage & performed “Popular” together with a few dancers followed by Maiya who performed her latest single, “Di Manakah”.

Other featured artistes in the upcoming episodes includes Fauzie Laily, Kunjung Whitaker, Wawan, Akmal, Zainal Abidin, Awie and more!  PopAgenda is expected to be telecast in February, however, we have yet to get the confirmed dates.  More updates soon!
