KUALA LUMPUR - The timeless songs of the legendary Tan Sri P. Ramlee will be brought to life at 'Konsert Legasi P. Ramlee', set to take place at Mega Star Arena, Sungei Wang Plaza, here on Sept 20.
Organised by Tanahair Films Sdn Bhd, the concert is a continuation of the P. Ramlee Premier Project, led by Datuk Khairul Anwar Salleh and Adlin Aman Ramlie.

It is expected to feature a mix of classic, contemporary and popular performances presented in theatrical, dramatic and cinematic formats.
Among the singers who will grace the stage that evening are Datuk Jamal Abdillah, Datuk Zainalabidin, Ella, MimiFly, Nadeera and Liza Hanim, as well as three personalities closely associated with the persona of P. Ramlee - P. Radhi, Danie Hasbullah and Musly Ramlee.
Tanahair Films chief executive officer Khairul Anwar said this initiative is a significant step in elevating Malaysian arts through a creative and contemporary approach that still respects the authenticity of P. Ramlee's works.
"When we talk about heritage, the name Tan Sri P. Ramlee is a symbol that unites us all. He was an artiste, a thinker, a cultural leader and a symbol of regional unity. In every lyric he wrote, every scene he acted in and every musical score he composed, there were values that transcended time.
"The goal is to introduce Tan Sri P. Ramlee to a new generation, not just as a historical figure or as an icon displayed in museums but as the originator of a legacy that defined the identity of Malaysia's artistic and cultural heritage,' he said at a press conference.
P. Ramlee, one of Malaysia's most beloved and versatile entertainers, can never be replaced or imitated, he said, adding that his unique talent and contributions are far too significant to be forgotten.
The concert initiative is also supported by the National Archives of Malaysia, the Ministry of National Unity, the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) under the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture.
Adlin, who is Tanahair Films' artistic director, said the event would be an emotional one.
"It will not only be nostalgic but also refreshing and impressive, with the touch of four renowned Malaysian music maestros.
"The audience will be taken back to the golden era of Malay music, reimagined through the interpretations of these four maestros,' he said.
The four, Datuk Ramli MS, Datuk Mokhzani Ismail, Helen Yap and Michael Veerapen, will serve as music directors for the concert, where over 30 of P. Ramlee's songs will be performed. The songs will be presented in medley, duet or solo formats with both classic and modern arrangements, accompanied by an orchestra of about 60 musicians.
