Nukilan Lagu Raya or The Lagu Raya Songbook is a project started with Marina Tan (arts practitioner, researcher, writer) who embarked on a research through a timeline of 30 ‘Raya’ songs spanning the years 1936 to 2022. With this research, she explored both the context and conceptualisation of these songs including song lyrics as a way to explore our nation’s socio-economic trends. Marina was looking to uncover moments and human examples of Malaysians living with compassion and unbounded communities, striving together to make the best of circumstances.
In collaboration with Marina Tan, Aziz Salim, Tay Cher Siang, Karen's Ethnic Plate & Syomirizwa Gupta, temu house invites you to join us all as we offer a mere glimpse at some of these Raya tracks, revealing the journey of a vibrant and diverse nation through various stages of its being.
