Dikir barat..............second look.......

A Song by Durba Dua

Ya Mujahidin tulus kan benihlah kasihnya
impikanlah cinta atas resah dunia ketiga
Ya suara panglima bersaudara mekarkan merahkan tanah
tumpahnya darah.....

Juz love the way they express this dikir song....talking bout third world country....well i try to get the verse which has a lot more meaning in it...but to no avail.....aniwae...the chorus itself has a lot of meaning in it.....it expresses the pain and hardship of third world country which is in chaos and to an uncertain future ahead of it.....sometimes people complain of living in more establish countries but if they heard the cries and feel the pains of the people who are living the frightened life day in and day out.....then they should be more greatful of their life now......

Listening to dikir songs....well most of it has a lot of meaning to it....like the ones written by Kelana Purba and family....Makyong Kedek......Andika.....this 3 big guns' songwriters to me are the best in the dikir industry.....although its hard to understand when u first listen to it but as u listen over and over again.....u can feel the meaning behind every word....i agree dat almost all of it is written using higher malay words especially Kelana's song....but the essence behind it dat matters....if one were to listen to Andika's lyrics...they are talking mostly about everyday life of the malay communities in most of their lyrics.....behind their lyrics are hidden messages or 'nasihat' to help the malay communities be better......and yeah....Andika like to 'kutuk' the malays but it is to make the malays realise their wrongdoings and to return back to the right path...well....congrats to Djohan Abd Rahman aka Bobo for all ur effort in making the malay community better......

Well....i'm not promoting dikir barat or helping the groups listed above gain more popularity....but i'm merely expressing my thoughts dat wad people said dat dikir barat is so melayu.....but wads wrong?? kental...??? cmon man....its a culture...and as a malay why should we forget our heritage and culture.....although dikir barat originally come from thailand....then to kelantan.....but in singapore it has been flowing since the 70's.......yes i agree dat almost all the members are malays but we are not bad people dat is a sore to the eyes....we are helping dikir barat to stay as the culture dat will be love in the future by many people......eventhough its been a while since i last sat on the platform....but the beat of the rebana will alweiz stay beating in ma heart......as long as my heart beats.........

PS: Haf a second look at dikir barat although first impression counts......

Hits.
