Malayan Jazz by Eddin Khoo

‘This is the most political band in Malaysia because it asks to remember’- Eddin Khoo, 11th July 2024 during his jazz rendition at Simply Jazz, KL

A sublime evening of music and memory, as if the performance is an act of keeping an idea of Malaya alive, a pre May 13th 1969 one?

The song had Merdeka Bridge in Singapore, it used to be there yet is remembered through songs and these performances. It is a poignant register of history, a sonic one.

A music performance which is an act of remembering and of resistance. Mantap!
