Purnama (Qamarun)

This rendition of the nasheed Purnama (translated from the Arabic Qamarun) by Zizi Kirana feat. UNIC is very unique. Firstly it’s sung by former rap queen Zizi Kirana who has now turned to Islamic spiritual music. Secondly, this is the first version that I know of that has its lyrics translated into the Malay language as well.

Ding Dong Ku Datang Padamu

This has to be the scariest children’s “nursery rhyme” that I’ve listened to in recent memory. It’s in Indonesian, which is a language related to my native tongue, the Malay language. The atmosphere of the song relays a sense of creepiness and horror towards the end. This is actually unique for a song like this because usually, you don’t get horror themes relayed through a children’s song.

Wo Nan Guo (I Am Sad)

A very haunting with an interesting melody unique to the song itself. I also managed to learn some new words in the Mandarin language since the song repeats sentences in the chorus several times.

Stranger in the North

One of the first Mandarin songs that I’ve started to listen to in recent memory….and probably the only one I know which has rap in it! As I am currently taking up lessons in the Mandarin language, I am using this song as part of the learning effort too.
