Here In My Home - Malaysian Artistes For Unity

free download

Here in my home is a song, sang by bunch of Malaysian artiste. They called themselves - Malaysian Artiste for Unity. Listen to it yourselves, take a look at the lyrics...




The first time I heard this song was few weeks ago, was through Malaysia's favorite chinese radio station, and my first impression is, "Wow! Who sang this song? It's marvelous!" and I listened and listened and concentrate on the DJ's words, hoping to know what's the song title and who are the artiste (easier for me to download it illegally... Ooops!).

I didn't get to know the details of the song, until today! Tunggu apa lagi? I goggled "Malaysian Artiste for Unity" and found out that:

bored. so he (project producer: Mr Pete Teo) telephoned a few friends. “how about getting together to make an anti-racism national unity song and music video?” all said yes without hesitation. not because pete threatened them with a sharp and rusty knife. but only because they love malaysia.

the contingent swelled to 52 people a few days later. it included filmmakers, dancers, singers, producers, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, designers, footballers, activists, celebrities, students and a florist. nobody would be paid. yet they were enthused. not because they were high on speed. only because they love Malaysia.

they gathered to record the song. it had a catchy chorus and was able to induce a mass sing-along. everyone was happy when it was done. they named it ‘here in my home’. then more people joined. the party now included more than 120 people. but the budget remained exactly zero. it seems even the spreadsheet loves malaysia.

everyone turned up for the video shoot. much fun was had and friendships made. video editors went to work after the shoot was done. both the recording and the video would be given away for free. a gift to the nation. from those who love malaysia to those who feel the same.

did you ask what this is all about?

it’s about love.

IT'S ABOUT LOVE!
Love for the country.
Love for peace.
Love for Malaysia.





Can YOU feel the love?
