Description
Summary:Malaysia is well-known by the world as a multiculturalism country, build by over twenty different ethnics and race, customs, and culture. What make Malaysia really different from other nation is, there are cross-cultural exchanges in between. The tenn cross-cultural exchanges become the idea of mine to make something different in Malaysia's Mandopop Mandopop is Mandarin language pop in short (Moskowitz, 20 I 0), it is one of the subgenres ii-om Chinese popular music or C-pop (Lee, 2012). The possibility ofthe combination of Malay traditional musical elements into new Mandopop composition that could be done in current 21" Century and accepted by the Malaysian audiences is a question mark for me. Based on the studies ofJay Chou's composition and Malay traditional music, I have combined the Asli Tune style melody and instrumentation into my new composition, and done detemlination of the feasibility of the new composition among Malaysian audiences, the cross-cultural exchanges have clearly fonned tlu'ough the composition.
