Legendary pop yeh yeh singer Jeffrydin set to thrill Sarawak fans in nostalgic concert this Nov 30

KUCHING (Oct 24): Legendary pop yeh yeh singer Datuk Raden Jeffrydin Raden Imbromsoekaman is eager to deliver a special performance for his Sarawak fans during the upcoming Konsert Retro Pop Yeh Yeh scheduled for this Nov 30 as he credits their unique way of appreciating his live performances as his inspiration.

According to the Singapore-born singer, he fondly recalls that whenever he performs in Sarawak, he sensed a special aura from the audience while some fans have even gone on stage to present him with envelopes of money, a gesture he remembers warmly.

“I’ve never asked my fans for money, but gestures like that are incredibly touching to me. I see it as a sign of their deep love and appreciation for my music.

“Nevertheless I feel truly honoured to have such strong support and appreciation for my work here in Sarawak,” he told a press conference at the Stars on Stage here today.

While not revealing the number of songs that he will sing during the Konsert Retro Pop Yeh Yeh, promised his fans in Sarawak that he will perform songs which he identifies as strong favourites in Sarawak.

For him, it is important that he gives his fans in Sarawak the songs that they like while he also pointed out that he loves all his songs equally.

“I know fans in Sarawak love songs like Mas Mona, Termenung, Siti Haida and a few others and that’s why those tracks are always a must when I perform here in Sarawak.

I also want my fans to know that I’m capable of playing the songs I rarely perform live as well.

“All I need is a band to back me up, and I’ll happily play those songs if my fans want to hear them,” he said.

Mutiara Production House (M) Sdn Bhd is set to bring music enthusiasts back to the golden era of 1960s with the Konsert Retro Pop Yeh Yeh where Datuk Jeffrydin will play next month.

The concert scheduled on a Saturday on Nov 30 will be held at the Hikmah Exchange Event Centre at Jalan Haji Taha here starting at 8pm.

Supported by the Ministry of Communications through MyCreative Ventures and the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts Sarawak, organisers said that the event promises to be a nostalgic celebration of the iconic music genre.

Even project managers Dr Alim Impira and Hasyim Mohd who both attended the press conference also revealed that apart from Datuk Jeffrydin himself, the concert will feature a stellar lineup of legendary and contemporary artists, offering a blend of timeless classics and modern interpretations.

“Among the performers for the night are iconic names such as Dato L Ramlie, and A Rahman Onn while adding a modern twist to the mix are acts like Kugiran Masdo, Haziq Rosebi, A Rozaini, and Ahmad Yassin, ensuring a diverse and memorable musical experience for attendees,” said Alim.

Organisers of the concert also said that the Konsert Retro Pop Yeh Yeh aims to revive the vibrant music of the 1960s, paying tribute to the artists who were instrumental in shaping the Pop Yeh Yeh movement.

This concert is not only a celebration of past musical legends but also a chance to keep their legacy alive.

One of the primary objectives of the event is to reintroduce the dynamic sounds and songs of the 1960s to today’s audience, helping a new generation experience the magic of that era.

It also seeks to recognize and celebrate the contributions of the musicians and artists who made an impact during that time.
