Hey 👋🏻 all, it’s TGIF & the start of school holidays 😄, SiennyLovesDrawing & her little niece 👩🏻💕👧🏻 really enjoyed themselves stepping into a world of enchantment & wonder by experiencing an extraordinary retelling of Malaysian folklore in songs 🎤👩🏽🎤🎧🎵🎼🛒🎶
Absolutely 💯 a great 👍🏻 weekend to enjoy & experience Dondang Dongeng which is specially curated for children of all ages. Yes ✅, it’s a combination of both traditional & modern music showcase of 6️⃣ Malaysia folklore by a team of local Malaysian talents for kids 🧒🏻👧🏻👦🏻
Since the start of school holidays, it’s absolutely 💯👍🏻 lovely nice to grab a ticket 🎟️ to bring your kids to support local Malaysian talented artists
All audiences, especially Malaysians will surely delve into the rich tapestry of our home country, Malaysia 🇲🇾 cultural heritage & embark on an unforgettable adventure that will ignite imaginations & foster a love ❤️ for our vibrant folklore
Personally to SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻, this music showcase is an exclusive educational opportunity for all parents, official guardians & educators to educate the younger generations to appreciate the multiracial Malaysians’ art, culture & heritage of Malaysia 🇲🇾
She has been educating her little niece 👩🏻💕👧🏻 since young with some of her favourite old stories eg. Bawang Putih Bawang Merah, do read more of her book 📖 review story shared earlier via 🌐 https://siennylovesdrawing.wordpress.com/2021/03/02/children-book-review-bawang-putih-bawang-merah-soundbook-from-baba-baa/ . So, this time it’s a good chance for her little niece to appreciate this story through lovely songs & tunes 🎤🎵🎼🎶
Guess what❓⁉️
Bawang Putih Bawang Merah is 1️⃣ of the 6️⃣ Malaysia folklore in Dondang Dongeng that little niece loves this story from her book reading 👧🏻📖
SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has observed during this music showcase that her little niece was so excited & shouted happily when seeing Bawang Merah sat on the swing & sang song on stage 👧🏻😁🙌🏻
The origins of Dondang Dongeng began with a simple question ❓⁉️
~ Do Malaysians, especially kids, still know of our local folklores❓⁉️ ~
While many of us grew up listening to the tales & songs of Disneyland, dreaming to be part of that world, did we still remember to find our way home 🏡 🇲🇾 & remember our own stories❓⁉️
As official guardian to her little niece, SiennyLovesDrawing ponders 🤔💬 these questions ❓⁉️& reflect how well she has done her part to bring awareness to preserve Malaysian arts & cultures & educating her little niece. Still not enough, she will continue doing her best as she herself is heritage passionate ☺️💞 Hmm…How about you ❓⁉️
Dondang Dongeng is a quest in sharing the stories of treasured Malaysian folklore like the smart & mischievous Sang Kancil 🦌 & legends of beautiful local princesses ~ Puteri Ledang 👸 & Puteri Santubong 👸, each stories actually complete with important morals to take away, as we pass down these narratives in a unique way through songs 🎤🎼🎶🎵
In songs & tunes 🎤👩🏽🎤🎵🎶🎼, in celebration of our traditions 🎉🎊 of who we are, our past, our present & our future as all Malaysians 🇲🇾👫🏽👭🏻👬
This music showcase is helmed by a team of esteemed creatives ie. Irena Taib, composer & member of The Impatient Sisters; Mia Palencia, renowned singer & songwriter; Melina William, musician & producer & other local talents that are highly sought-after in the music scene 🎬🎵🎶🎼
Dondang Dongeng is craftily weaved into a dreamscape, filled with stories less remembered but hopefully not long forgotten. Stories as old as time, presented in the form of songs with a modern twist 👍🏻
Let the songs 🎤👩🏽🎤🎵🎶🎼 awaken these folklores again, so let’s us all journey into this dreamscape together gather 😃😁 If we continue to tell these stories, we might realize that we all share common narratives & that will lead us to the way home ❤️🏡🇲🇾💯
Note 📌: No food & drink allowed, no photo & video recording inside the theater ya ☺️
SiennyLovesDrawing & her little niece 👩🏻👧🏻😃😁💯👍🏻 really enjoyed themselves this approximately 90mins interactive music showcase. The interaction gained throughout the show really amazingly great 😃👍🏻
The moments when all stood up for a quick stretch & sang Rasa Sayang together. Also the lol 😆😂 bit when a kid asked the story teller why Puteri Gunung Ledang 👸🏻 not willing to marry the King 👑 etc. ~ Why not❓⁉️ ~
Highly recommended you all to enjoy & experience it, absolutely worth the ticket price 👩🏻👧🏻💯👍🏻💖
