one man.one mission.one stretch of canvas.one kilometre
After finalising my Pasir Salak flyers with Dato' Seri Isahak Yeop Mohd Shar, i went to the National Art Gallery again. Mr. S.Amin Shahab, the great artist, song writer... he and Adam Ahmad co-wrote the Fauzi Marzuki-composed Teratai Layu di Tasik Madu, which won the TV3 Juara Lagu Song of the Year 1993. It was sung by Fauziah Latiff. He also wrote the lyrics for other award-winning songs like Umpama Mimpi Dalam Mimpi (performed by pop-rock band Damasutra), Kekasih Awal Dan Akhir (composed by Fauzi Marzuki and sung by Jamal Abdillah), and Suci Dalam Debu (performed by Iklim, Juara Lagu 1990).Besides the album covers for Kembara, Amin penned the lyrics for hits like Keroncong Untuk Ana 1 & 2 and also wrote the lyrics for Nasir's phenomenal Canggung Mendonan (Awkward Stranger). His lyrics breathed life into other Nasir compositions like Kejora (performed by Search) and Sekuntum Mawar Merah Sebuah Puisi (Alleycats).Still too much to tell... (wait for his Blog and Facebook... coming soon!!!)
Still with his One Kilometre Project and having a few project in mind, you can meet him almost everyday at National Art Gallery.
What's new in the Gallery... Pameran Amal Palestin 2009 at Level 2a,2b and 2c, Anugerah Seni MRCB 2008 at level 1, Teng - Satu Penghargaan - An Appreciation at Level 3a (last day on 28.2.2009) and still there Susurmasa - Timeline / Empayar Perdagangan & Warkah Berlukis where Si Manis Kuala Kangsar was... for the real si manis, if knowing me cause u so much trouble, thousand apologies.
