Compiled by Paul Fisher. The Rough Guide to the Music of Malaysia delves behind the tourist destination facade to explore a wealth of musical styles: from Arabic influenced pop with a distinctive Bollywood flavour to the pulsating roots sound of local Malay groups. Featuring a heady mix of both traditional and modern sounds, this album presents Malaysia's potent musical force.
