Ethnic Malay Wedding in Singapore!

Now first of all, I live in Singapore. So in Singapore, I believe recently it must be an auspicious period cause I am hearing a lot of weddings around me. Notice I am saying hearing, and not seeing! Why is this so?

Now in Singapore, the Malays wedding are pretty interesting to me! And trust me, you can hear from miles away. For the record, in Singapore we are densely populated pretty much everywhere, and majority of the population generally lives in apartments called flats, which can easily fit close to hundreds of families in a single building. If you cannot imagine, here is how it looks like!

As you can see, tall structures with many many units within, each granting living space to a family. In case if there is any difference in terminologies, the ground floor normally is a public space which we call void deck, which is common to see our Malay neighbours having their wedding ceremony at. Now, some can be really grand too despite being in a public space, such as this

Malay Wedding Music

Being in a multi racial country, I kind of embrace their culture. While some may find their celebrations loud and annoying, I find it quite pleasant (though got to admit it can be pretty loud). Like, come on, the music is good. And trust me, you will never hear something similar in your life.

I tried finding online, and this is the closest that I can find.

This is like, a distinctive tune that the moment you hear it, you know there is a wedding celebration. I don't know man, but what do you guys think about it? Though I am not a Malay, I kind of really like it!

Question of the day

Did you like the tune? Why or Why not?
