The month of Ramadan has passed, and it is time for Muslims to celebrate with their loved ones.
The Malay radio stations would typically start playing Raya songs 10 days before Hari Raya. It has the charm of getting people excited and to look forward to the festivities..and the Raya Tik Tok transitions!
Here are some songs to get you in the mood for Hari Raya 😉
The Kampung Vibes
Ewa Ewa Hari Raya (“Yeah Yeah Hari Raya”) by Malek Ridzuan
Ask anyone out there, they can definitely recite the song’s catchy rap. The tune just oozes happiness and celebration.
Selamat Berhari Raya (“Enjoy your Hari Raya”) by Rahimah Rahim
Our very own icon and Cultural Medallion recipient, Rahimah Rahim also sang a Hari Raya song that is loved by many.
Sesuci Lebaran (“A Holy Celebration”) by Siti Nurhaliza
Have to include a Dato K song ok. You just have to.
Solemn Hits
Suasana Di Hari Raya (“The Hari Raya Atmosphere”) by Anuar & Ellina
This is a classic song, which captures the essence of the first day of Hari Raya in a more muted tone as compared to most.
Satu Hari Di Hari Raya (“One day of Hari Raya”) by M. Nasir
The song focuses on blessings of the Almighty and the beauty of gratitude and repentance. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to fully celebrate Hari Raya, as Hari Raya reminds them much more strongly of loved ones that has passed on. The melody portrays a hopeful tone that is needed on to get through the day.
Lo-Fi

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri to the Muslims, and a happy holiday weekend to all!
