Lagu Melayu

Lagu Melayu is a traditional music genre from Malaysia and Singapore. It is characterized by its use of traditional Malay instruments such as the gendang (drum), rebab (fiddle), and serunai (flute). The music is typically upbeat and often features call-and-response singing. Lyrics are usually in the Malay language and often focus on themes of love, nature, and patriotism. The genre has been popular since the 1950s and is still widely performed today.
