#SHOWBIZ: Cakra Khan promises an unforgettable concert
POPULAR Indonesian singer Cakra Khan is all set to make a grand return to the Malaysian stage next month. And he's pulling out all the stops to deliver a night to remember for his fans. With his signature husky vocals and emotive delivery, the 33-year-old artiste is gearing up for his much-anticipated solo performance, the Cakra Khan Divine Concert. The show is set to take place on Aug 2 at the Plenary Hall in the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Speaking at a recent press conference to announce the concert, Cakra playfully expressed his deep love for performing. "If it were entirely up to me, I'd love to sing more than 30 songs during my concert! "As long as the audience is enjoying themselves, I could sing all night." However, despite his enthusiasm, he admitted that some compromises had to be made. "After detailed discussions with the production team and taking into account the time limits, we had to narrow down the song list. "I love being on stage, but we also want the show to be polished and well-paced." Presented by Shiraz Projects, the Kuala Lumpur concert is part of a two-stop showcase. Cakra had previously performed across the Causeway at The Star Theatre in Singapore on July 18. The concert's theme, "Divine", was carefully chosen to represent more than just a musical performance. As explained by Shiraz Projects managing director Shirazdeen Karim, the word "Divine" embodies Cakra Khan's extraordinary journey — from humble beginnings to successfully establishing a solid presence in the Southeast Asian music scene. "This concert comes at a timely moment, as Cakra continues to solidify his status as one of the most unique vocalists in the region," said Shirazdeen. "It's a celebration of his voice, artistry and the emotional depth he brings to every performance." Fans can expect an evocative mix of hits, from timeless favourites like 'Kekasih Bayangan' to fresh new tracks that showcase the evolution of his sound. What's more, Cakra has promised a different setlist for each city, ensuring that fans in Malaysia and Singapore enjoy unique experiences. "There will be some songs I performed in Singapore that I won't sing in KL, and vice versa," he explained. "I'm also including some new songs and reworking the arrangements for older ones. It's about creating something special and unforgettable for each audience." But that's not all, as Cakra won't be taking to the stage alone. Fans are in for a treat, as the concert will also feature special appearances by renowned guest performers, including Marsha Milan, Ade Govinda, Titi DJ, Trio XL and Faizal Lubis. These collaborations are expected to elevate the night's musical atmosphere further, giving fans and music lovers a truly memorable experience. Cakra emphasised that he has personally invested time and energy into every detail of the show, from the lighting to the stage design to the musical arrangements. "This time around, I've been really hands-on with everything. I want the entire experience, visually and sonically, to be satisfying for everyone who comes." As for the final number of songs, he revealed that the concert will feature close to 30 tracks, carefully selected and arranged to deliver both emotional depth and powerful vocals without overwhelming the timeline. "We had to be realistic. Initially, I really did want to perform over 30 songs, but once we broke down the rehearsal schedule and concert duration, we had to cut back a little," he said with a smile. "Still, I'm confident fans will feel the magic we've put into this." With anticipation steadily building, the Cakra Khan Divine Concert promises not only a night of great music but also a celebration of passion, perseverance and the power of a voice that continues to move hearts across generations.

(Video) Michael Wong Successfully Concludes 2-Day Concert At Stadium Merdeka
The past weekend saw a bunch of concerts, including back-to-back shows by Malaysian singer-songwriter Michael Wong, fondly known as Guang Liang (光良). The singer's two-day concert at Stadium Merdeka was a huge success and also earned the singer praise for a respectful gesture. Last Friday and Saturday (18th and 19th July 2025), Michael Wong held his 'Never Apart. Lonely Planet 3.0' concerts at Stadium Merdeka. The two-day show received a lot of attention from the start after the star announced that all tickets to the concert were uniformly priced at RM199. The generous move was to show Michael's gratitude to his fans for their love and support throughout his 30-year career in the music industry. The two shows were a success, with a total of 40,000 tickets sold for both days. Fans were also satisfied with the performances, as Michael sang all his classic love songs for more than three hours each night. Most amusingly, during Day 2, fans wouldn't leave the stadium after the show ended and continued chanting 'encore' despite it being after midnight. While Michael was flustered that fans wouldn't leave the hall, he continued singing for another half an hour. Michael also celebrated the success of his concert tour with a celebration banquet. During the event, he received a certification from the ASEAN Records for being the first artist to perform twice at Stadium Merdeka with full capacity and uniformly priced tickets. He also spoke candidly about how he fulfilled his promise to return to Malaysia and thanked the fans for their continued support. Interestingly, the singer and his concert also received praise for a respectful gesture. On Twitter, journalist Norman Goh revealed that both concerts started at 9pm to respect the Maghrib and Isyak prayers. The crew also paused the music at the venue during the Azan. Many netizens praised Michael and the concert organiser for respecting religion during the show and for showing cultural sensitivity. We congratulate Michael on the success of his concerts and his new ASEAN Record. We also share our kudos to him for respecting the prayer times. Check out some clips from his concerts below: Sources: China Press (1)(2), Twitter

Wayang Santri: Unique Tradition Of Javanese Commmunity With Moral Teachings
By Kamarul Halim M Kamal MUAR, July 21 (Bernama) — Wayang Santri stage performances may still be unfamiliar to many Malaysians, but this unique art form holds deep roots in the Javanese community across the Indonesian archipelago, where it has been passed down from generation to generation. According to a young millennial Wayang Santri puppeteer, Ki Haryo Susilo Enthus Susmono, many Malaysians still mistakenly associate Wayang Santri with wayang kulit, particularly the well-known versions from Kelantan and Terengganu. He said it was to address this misconception that the Wayang Santri stage tour was launched in Johor and Kuala Lumpur, starting July 19, to introduce the traditional art form to Malaysian audiences. 'Beyond serving as a platform for cross-cultural artistic exchange, the tour also aims to strengthen cultural ties between Malaysia and Indonesia, which share a deep and inseparable heritage. 'Unlike wayang kulit, which is performed behind a screen, Wayang Santri or also known as wayang golek, is performed live using wooden puppets,' he told Bernama after the Malaysia Wayang Santri Tour 2025: Indonesia-Malaysia Cultural Diplomacy at Keraton Mbah Anang here recently. Keraton Mbah Anang, a centre for cultural activities rooted in Javanese customs and traditions, served as the venue for the Wayang Santri performance in Johor. Ki Haryo explained that the Wayang Santri performances are distinctive in their emphasis on moral teachings and Islamic dakwah narratives, with the stories often about the Islamic kingdom of Sunan Kalijaga and are interwoven with contemporary elements, while remaining true to the original concept and values. Ki Haryo, who inherited the puppeteering skills from his father, the legendary Ki Enthus Susmono, shared that each performance is supported by 17 to 20 musicians who play a variety of traditional instruments, including the demung, saron, gong, bonang and Sundanese drums, alongside modern instruments like the violin and keyboard.
