Prelude to Hari Raya


This morning at Ipoh Sunday market. Did not interrupt the Raya mood.

The orignal post was via my handphone. I did not wish to interrupt the Hari Raya mood shown by the two Malay musicians, in this picture taken with the boss of the shop.

He said he was expecting me last week when there were some good musicians around. But it was the usual case of either no one to take over or too many wanting to play. I brought two CDs for just in case, but seeing them playing Malay songs which suit the festive air, I chose not to spoil their mood. In fact, a couple actually danced for a few minutes!

With the enthusiasm of the boss, this 'jam session' is likely to be a regular feature of the Ipoh Sunday market, and with that, more musicians will make it a point to jam. I can say goodbye to 'drumaoke' for now!
