By Bernama Lifestyle Reporter

KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 (Bernama) -- Indonesian singer Nadhif Basalamah believes music has always served as a powerful bridge between Malaysia and Indonesia, which is one of the reasons he will be returning to perform in the country next month.

Set to take the stage at the Rumah Hati Fabio Asher and Nadhif Basalamah Live in Kuala Lumpur concert on July 26 at Megastar Arena, the 26-year-old singer said the similarities in language and culture between the two nations make music one of the most effective ways to unite fans emotionally.

“Music is able to exchange energy in ways that we do not fully understand,” he said during an online press conference for the concert today.

Sharing that he frequently visits Kuala Lumpur in a personal capacity, the artiste said his upcoming appearance alongside fellow Indonesian singer Fabio Asher is aimed at offering something different and surprising for fans who have consistently supported them.

“We are working hard to build strong chemistry on stage. Although we each have our own schedules, we want to ensure this performance is truly special,” he said.

The singer-songwriter, best known for his hit Penjaga Hati, said the concert, themed One Feeling, Two Stories, marks his first collaboration with Fabio Asher.

He added that about 80 per cent of tickets have already been sold. Fans wishing to catch the performance by the two artistes, both known for their emotionally charged ballads, can purchase tickets priced between RM98 and RM888 at www.ilassotickets.com.
