Meet Malaysia's latest pop yeh-yeh group LEV, a group of three unleashes Malaysia's own-styled song in "Aku Bukan Bosan"
New music group, LEV, has released their debut single titled 'Aku Bukan Bosan', which is now available on all digital streaming platforms. The trio who got together in 2022 have aims following the footsteps of the Malaysian top pop yeh-yeh band Masdo. They are also singing under the Empayar Masdo label and are also now considered the group Masdo's top protege. Masdo are currently Malaysia's top pop yeh-yeh band since the heydays of the 60s and they made an excellent foray into Indonesia. Just like Masdo, LEV are presenting their music based on Malaysia's 60s pop genre and composed according to current tastes. LEV consists of three members: Leo Azman (vocalist, composer, and lyricist), Riz (guitarist) and Kecik (bass player,) and they are aiming to make a big impression in the Malaysian music industry. 'Aku Bukan Bosan' was entirely composed by Leo Azman, while production, mixing and mastering were completed by Andi, a member of the Indonesian band Fourtwnty. The recording process was carried out at Bijanfx Studio, involving five draft phases over two weeks before the final version was finalized. This song raises the theme of the sacrifices of men who are far from their families to earn a living. It touches on the issue of trust in long-distance relationships and the misunderstandings that often arise due to time and communication constraints. According to Andi, as the producer, this song brings a narrative that is close to the reality of society. 'We want this song to represent the voices of those who are rarely heard. Not everyone is good at expressing themselves, but music can speak for them,' he said. Before the official launch, LEV introduced this song to the public through several performances in conjunction with the 10-Year Journey to Masdo, which took place in several locations around Selangor & Kuala Lumpur. The performances served as an initial platform to introduce LEV's musical identity to a wider audience. The launch of 'Aku Bukan Bosan' also opens a new chapter for LEV as a newcomer group that presents works based on reality, without excessive dramatic elements. With a simple musical approach and lyrics based on real experiences, LEV is seen as one of the new names that deserves attention. AKU BUKAN BOSAN (quick notes - trivia) 1. "Aku Bukan Bosan" -- Composer & Lyricist: Leo Azman 2. This single is the debut work from LEV since their establishment on May 13, 2022. This song highlights the story of the sacrifice of a man who was forced to leave his family temporarily to find a livelihood to support his loved ones. It is an expression of the heart that asks for trust to be given, not doubt. Not because of looking for another love, but because of the determination to ensure that every family's dream can be fulfilled. The group's message for fans: "For the fighters out there, continue your struggle. Never give up. And for the wives, trust your husbands. If messages are not returned, if calls are not picked up — know that they are fighting, not bored." 3. The lyrics of this song are inspired by the reality of men who are forced to stay away from their families to find a livelihood, not because of boredom, but because of responsibility.

Malaysian devotional music group Inteam makes an impact in Algeria muusic festival
NEW DELHI (Bernama): Malaysian devotional music group Inteam captivated audiences at the 11th Constantine International Chanting Festival in Algiers, Algeria, bridging cultural and linguistic divides during their debut North African tour. Dressed in traditional Malay attire, the group delivered a soulful performance that stood out among nine foreign ensembles - including those from Oman, Tunisia, Belgium, Jordan, Senegal, Syria, Tanzania, and Bosnia - invited to the prestigious festival held in the historic city of Constantine from June 25 to 30. "Their traditional Malay attire sparked a keen interest and admiration among the international audience. This act of cultural diplomacy added a special touch to their artistic presentation," Malaysian Ambassador to Algeria, Rizany Irwan Muhamad Mazlan, told Bernama on Sunday. Inteam was among the nine foreign groups invited to perform at the chanting festival (Mahrajan Al Inshad Al Duwali) in the northeastern city of Constantine. The event also featured seven Algerian teams and participants from Oman. Inteam described their first tour of North Africa as a journey transcending linguistic, national and cultural boundaries through nasyid, a form of Islamic vocal music. Their participation in the prestigious festival not only strengthens Malaysia's cultural representation abroad, but also opens doors for greater collaboration on future international artistic platforms. "Their presence was a testament to the role of Islamic performing arts in fostering unity and mutual respect across cultures," Rizany said. Youth training workshops and seminars focused on preserving musical heritage and promoting intercultural dialogue were also held during the festival. - Bernama
