![]() ![]() This was Brunei's debut in the song festival. This is a song from the 2013 ABU TV Song Festival (a non-competitive concert based on Eurovision), so I think it's fair to call it a pop song. I think this might just be in Standard Malay it doesn't appear to be specifically Brunei Malay: This is a traditional song from Brunei called "Kain Jong Sarat." The first comment to this video has the lyrics (in slightly non-standard orthography). ![]() ![]() The last time I went to India (over a dozen years ago!), my dad and I stopped over in Singapore and went for a tour, but honestly, staying in our hotel room was far more interesting because you could watch TV in 4-5 languages on channels from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Taiwan! One of the channels was a Singaporean Malay channel called Suria TV, where most of the time I couldn't see anything, just a yellow screen with some writing in Malay on it and instrumental music that sounded very similar to these ghazals in the background. Thanks for posting these songs! I posted another ghazal three posts above yours, and I was kind of shocked to find that one because it sounded really Indian, with sitars and everything! These two sound much more like my prototypical idea of a Malay ghazal.
