Anyway do not forget to support your favorite contestant in both reality shows.

Hire local artistes, RM 2 000.

Written by kaitor on 10:19 PM

One of my friend inform me, our local artist got new hope in their carrier. Datuk Masidi Manjun, Tourism,Clture and Enviroment Ministry had announced drafted a policy that sets mimimum fee RM 2, 000 for local artistes for a single performance. Decision was made to protect their interest.

I was very shock after knowing our local veteran artist was paid only RM 30.00 per performance. How can he survive, I really agreed that payment should be increase, now days everything expensive and everywhere you go, need money also. Just an example, rest room entrance fee is RM 0.20 even sometimes goes up to RM 1.00. That is the lower case, then start to think how much you need to pay for producing an album, 1K,2K,3K… no… it almost 10K. How he will going to handle this big amount just for an album not including her family expenses, insurance and schools fee.

What I’m concern here is how can this new rules implemented and how it going to be. “RM 2,000 to hire local artist” is only a draft but I will make some suggestion and hopefully it will give them some ideas.

1.Sabahan local artist must have their association. It will help them to protect their carrier and taking care for welfare. Only PERTISA so far…

2.Every artist must have their caretaker who will arrange their shows and responsibility to collect payment and royalty.

3.Government also needs to play an important role to support our local artistes by producing a policy that can protect their interest and carrier.

Elvis Saladan - New Album

Written by kaitor on 8:46 AM

Elvis Saladan is one of the new name in our local music industry. “New name” doesn’t mean his music or song did not have a good quality. Before produce Elvis’s first album, he already have singing experience.

Elvis had done recording with Greenland Entertainment, one of the best studio in town (KK). You can listen his demo song from his official blog or from his YouTube page. I just listen demo songs, and I was really impresses with the music arrangement and his vocal also, “good tone”, got commercial value. I believe if he keeps his good effort to produce an album in the future, he will become one of the greats singers.

When listening to his demo song, it makes me remember my village and my old friends during childhood. This album still keeps the sabahan music identity- “sumazau” plus dangdut and slow rock.

There are ten song in this album with good quality of song and music. You can listen demo songs below. (taken from elvis official blog).






Elvis also using internet for his album promotions and the good news is there are exclusive wallpaper and winamp skin for download, its 100 free… get one now.

Linda Nanuwil - Facebook

Written by kaitor on 8:41 AM

Facebook become one of the largest social networking and I believe those often online will have Facebook account. Now days, artist can promote themselves easily such as using blog and social networking services. Social networking will provide good platform for artist and fans to get connected everywhere around the glob.

My focus today is Linda Nanuwil, she had create a Facebook account. I believe her page is new and only have 116 fans ( March,08 ,2009) and her fans will grow in the future. If you one of Linda’s fan, become her fans now. Get more pictures and latest information from her Facebook page.

Sabahan in Akademi Fantasia 7 - TOP 20

Written by kaitor on 6:39 PM

I believe most of Akademi Fantasia (AF) lovers cannot wait this NO 1 reality show in Malaysia display in your TV screen. AF already comes to session seven and it means AF is seven years old now. In pervious six session, AF had produce good quality artist and it had give new challenge and hope for Malaysian music industry.

Yesterday, 3rd of March, media conference announced top 20 of AF7 students in Orchid Hall, Park Royal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. One of the early surprise from AF7, they announce TOP 20 before we know who is the AF7 Dean. For those who really want to know AF7 Dean, you need to watch the Tirai Akademi Fantasia 7 on Saturday dan Sunday 7 & 8 March 2009. In this concert you also will know who is the student for Akademi Fantasia 7.

Last time we AF have Mama Rina, again in this session AF have KELANA (Kelana bin Ayu, 40, Bintulu, Sarawak). He was chosen because of his valuable voice and we will see either he can give challenge to younger student.

Auh Nodi Koguli lyric.

Id timpu-timpu osongulunan diti,
Pomusarahan gumuli kawagu,
Iso kinantakan di nakatalib,
Di auh nodi koguli-guli..

Id timpu-timpu osongulunan diti,
Rumulan romou mato tumuru,
Kosorou nakatalib di pogulu,
Di auh nodi koguli-guli…

Korus:
Timpu nakatalib,
Auh nodi koguli poh,
Miagal sahap-sahap,
Norulun luyung tolinayad..

Id timpu-timpu osongulunan diti,
Karati oku do langadon oku,
Iso kinantakan di nakatalib,
Di auh nodi koguli-guli…

*will update you with demo song soon.
