Music would once again be a
unifying factor in a fund raising activity for the suffering
Muslim community of Cambodia when local solos and groups
representing a variety of musical concepts will perform tonight
at the JPCC Amphitheatre in Jerudong.
Crescendo (RnB group), W.L.K.
(Band), B-Style & B-Boys (HipHop Group), Aces (Band from
Tutong), Chikalo (All female HipHop Group), Senjakala (Band),
Deno (RnB solo), T.O.D. (Chinese Pop Group) and Da Rudge (fresh
mindblowing HipHop talent from KB) will perform for a good
cause. The concert will be emceed by Lo Ryder.
Organised by Irama Morgen
Production, the gate would open at 7.30 pm and tickets priced at
$9 will be available. at the gate Profits from the concert will
be channelled to "Tabung Derma Orang Islam Kambodia".
Leading the pack of the
multi-concept musical individuals and groups would be Crescendo,
who first stormed the local music scene when they performed as
guest artistes for international mega group A1 concert in Brunei
Darussalam in 2001.
The five young local lads of
Crescendo, Awang, Azman, Aqib, Alyn and Alyd appeared once again
in the Hip Hop group concert by the Malaysian Too Phat in
December 2001.
The five lads sang without
music, a task easier said than done. Aged between 17 and 21, the
boys are acapella singers. They sing without being accompanied
by musical instruments, which needs plenty of talents and
skills.
Many acapella singers go for
singing courses but Crescendo need not do that.
"They are so fantastic
that all of them sing in different keys and provide a brilliant
result," said a spokesperson representing the organiser.
He said tonight's concert is
also meant to expose the local musical talents to the
entertainment market. A successful venture into the industry
guarantees unlimited marketing success and cross-over appeal, a
guaranteed income, fame beyond your wildest dreams, unlimited
(but recoupable) industry resources, music awards, citations and
honours and protection from community repercussions, he said.
International artistes, groups
and musicians had rallied in the past for good causes by
performing concerts in the name of charity.
