Malay Music Series!
In the month of April, we explored Traditional Malay Music with Coach Hydir!
April’s genre of the month is special to Coach Hydir as it is one of his genre specialisations. He explains how Malay culture translates into Malay music.
In the early days, the Malays made music to present to the royalties. Coach Hydir shares how the Malays are very simple people.
