Popular music
Popular music is the genre that is most pervasive in Malaysia. Performers, composers and audience cut across ethnic, class and age distinctions, and the music is disseminated through radio, television, film, cassettes, videos and digital discs. Singers perform in all the Malaysian languages. From the wealth of influences in the country, Malaysian musicians have initiated their own styles and projected their own identities by combining Western, Malay, Chinese and other elements in the melodies and lyrics.
