Maher Zain In Concert @ Konsert Untukmu Rakyat, Ipoh
The Perak State Government, through Tourism Perak, sponsored a concert for the people two days ago. A strong crowd of 50,000 people attended the concert, including yours truly. Most of the concert-goers were students from universities and institutes of higher learning in Perak. The State Government felt that by organising such a concert, more talent would be unearthed through the many activities lined up prior to Maher Zain’s appearance at night.
Maher Zain’s concert was opened by popular local rocker, Ramli Sarip, and Maher’s label mate from Awakening Records, Irfan Makki. The internet tells me that Maher was born in Lebanon but raised and educated in Sweden, while Irfan was born in Pakistan but raised and educated in Canada. Both are Islamic singers.
