My “Satu Malaysia” theme song
Recently, the Kementerian Penerangan of Malaysia organized a song writing contest. we were supposed to create a song based on the much popularized ’1 Malaysia’ concept being promoted by our current prime Minister.
It was a good opportunity. I went about finalizing my music since the closing date was initially June 15 2009. I sent the whole material on the 1st of May only to find out online that they have abruptly change the date to 31st May!! Something fishy is really going on man….
Well. Here’s the demo. If I were to win this one, I would have wanted Faizal Tahir to sing it since it has this Rock element to it. I sang this demo myself and as you can see, my voice was struggling to hit the high notes. Lol!
Satu Malaysia
Composed by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum, May 28, 2009
Kita sama sahaja
Walaupun semua berbilang bangsa
Hidup harmoni, berkompromi, kita amaliPemimpin di hormati
Raja menjadi tunggak tradisi
Keamanan, kestabilan rakyat yang penyayangBridge:
Bersatulah rakyat jelata, kita menjadi Satu SuaraChorus:
Satu Malaysia, Satu Malaysia
Ku rasa bangga, menjadi warga
Negara Malaysia

This is Kaamatan featuring Alvin a.ka. Defoo
Kaamatan or Pesta Menuai or if translated in English ‘Harvest Festival’ is here again! What better way then to celebrate it with some song and dance ey?
Speaking of songs, here’s the updated version of my This is Kaamatan song. Previously I recorded it as an ‘acoustic version’. This time I added some other elements to give it a more festive feel and of course a Sabahan ethnic music theme to it too.
This song was recorded in my so called ‘Home Studio’ yesterday. It was one terribly hot Sunday afternoon. Since my recording room doesn’t have an air conditioner, we had to switch off the fans to reduce any unwanted sounds. It is still not studio quality definitely.
I would like to thank Alvin a.k.a Defoo who is also part of the group called Infinatez who took the trouble to come over to do this demo. We even had extra time to record some video footage for this song’s video so stay tuned for that one too!
Lastly, I would like to say Aramai tih! To all people of Sabah and Sarawak who will be celebrating the harvest Festival soon. Have a good one!
Happy Kaamatan!
