Zapin Tenglu: Yayasan Warisan Johor

The dance is called Zapin Tenglu, one of the many types of zapin dances in Malaysia.
This type of zapin dance is originated from the state of Johor and among the most popular Malay folk dance in Malaysia.

The dancers in this performance are those professional zapin dancers from Johor’s Heritage Foundation funded by the State of Johor Government (Yayasan Warisan Johor), needless to say one of the best professional folk dancers group in the country and the Asean region!

Zapin or zafin was introduced to Malay archipelagos hundred of years ago by Arab traders who came here to trade and at the same time expand the teachings of Islam. After sometimes, the dance revolved to inculcate the values and tradition of the local Malay people until it wholly become unique in its own local way but still maintaining some important features of original Arabic zapin dance like the musical instruments used (gambus / oud, traditional drums etc.), the Middle East melody in its song and the identical 8-counting-basic-movements in its dance steps!

Apart from the Malaysia’s state where the zapin is danced by its people like Johor, Kedah, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah, zapin is also danced by the people in its neighboring country like Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei.

How TV Production Works (Did You Know)

by: Winifred Fordham Metz l How Stuff Works

Now it’s time to shoot the pilot episode. A pilot is the first episode of a show — they’re shot, fittingly, during pilot season, between January and May. If the network likes the pilot, it will pick up the show for the season and make it a series.

When the network approves a pilot for filming, several things must occur. First, the showrunner and producers are hired. The showrunner is the person in charge. He or she works with the writers and script, casts the actors, is responsible for creative direction and usually oversees the project from start to finish. Sometimes the showrunner is the person who created the show’s concept, wrote the script or treatment and pitched it. Producers help the showrunner handle everything. They help with hiring the director, talent, crew, writers and assistant producers, and their first task is rewriting or updating the script. When that’s done, cast auditions are next. Then the producers hire the crew — and finally, the pilot is shot and edited. This schedule is generally outlined as preproduction, production and postproduction.

When it’s time for casting, there might already be a lead actor (or actors) attached to the project. If not, the people in charge could try to assemble the cast themselves — or they could work with a talent agency or casting director. A casting director is usually well connected with agencies and managers and will put together a casting call, or daylong series of auditions. The producer and director get together with the casting director and audition actors for all of the scripted roles. These taped auditions usually last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes each. If it is an ensemble cast, they generally try to audition in groups to see if the actors have chemistry. Callbacks are repeat auditions — it might take multiple callbacks before all of the talent is hired. The casting director can hire extras or other nonspeaking roles, usually working through a talent agency.

tv prod

At any given time, more than 80 people can be working together to make a TV show. The production team and the crew are as important as the talent (again, think of the writers’ strike) and really make the show happen. Here’s a short list of some of the production crew.

  • The director of photography (DP) is in charge of the shoot. He or she sets up the camera angles and shots and supervises the camera operators.
  • The production designer creates the physical vision of the show and designs the environments where the action takes place. Think of the bar in “Cheers,” the coffee shop in “Friends” and Al’s Diner in “Happy Days.”
  • The gaffer is the primary lighting technician.
  • The Foley mixer records and mixes the sound effects.
  • The editor puts it all together; assembling the video, audio and graphics for the show into a finished product.

Now that the cast and crew are set, it’s time to start shooting.

SEJARAH ORKESTRA RTM | ORKESTRA RADIO MALAYSIA TAHUN 1966

Selama lima dekad wujud di Malaysia, Orkestra RTM merupakan orkestra tertua negara. Kewujudannya sangat penting kerana ia antara pemangkin perkembangan industri muzik tempatan yang telah melahirkan ramai komposer berbakat dengan lagu-lagu malar segar sehingga ke hari ini.

Orkestra RTM juga boleh dianggap sebagai khazanah negara kerana ia boleh dijadikan rujukan dalam bidang muzik tempatan dalam usahanya memartabatkan lagi industri muzik tempatan.

Perjalanan yang bermula pada tahun 1961 dengan nama asalnya Orkes Radio Malaysia yang ketika itu dipimpin oleh Tan Sri Ahmad Merican telah memperlihatkan perbezaan dan kualiti daripada kumpulan muzik yang wujud pada ketika itu.Rumah Persekutuan yang masih tersergam di Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur sehingga ke hari ini menjadi monumen bersejarah apabila lokasi itu merupakan tempat kelahiran dan membesar Orkestra RTM.

Apabila operasi Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia disatukan pada tahun 1969, nama Orkestra Radio Malaysia ditukar kepada Orkestra RTM dan ia bertapak di Kompleks Angkasapuri sehingga sekarang.Selepas 50 tahun banyak nama besar dan tokoh dalam bidang muzik dilahirkan oleh Orkestra RTM yang juga menyumbang kepada industri muzik tanah air seperti Jimmy Boyle, Osman Ahmad, Datuk Ahmad Nawab, Kasim Masdor dan R. Ismail.

Selepas Tan Sri Ahmad Merican, tanggungjawab mengepalai orkestra tersebut diteruskan oleh Alfonso Soliano (Pemimpin Orkes Radio Malaysia 1961 – 1965), Gus Steyn (Pemangku Pemimpin 1967 – 1969), Datuk Johari Salleh (Pengarah Muzik 1965 – 1983), Datuk Ahmad Dasillah (Pengarah Muzik 1984 – 1999), Ruslan Mohd. Imam (Pemimpin Orkestra RTM 1978 – 1995) dan Datuk Mokhzani Ismail (Pengarah Muzik Orkestra RTM 1999 – kini).

Alfonso Soliano

Pemimpin Orkes Radio Malaya ini dilahirkan di Filipina, mahir bermain piano, pencinta irama jazz dan menjunjungi irama Melayu dalam perspektif yang berbeza. Ia terlihat pada awal pimpinannya sebelum kemerdekaan pada tahun 1956 yang ketika itu dikenali sebagai Orkes Tiga Serangkai yang turut dianggotai oleh Mahadzir Yassin, pemain double bass dan JJ.Vilinguez, pemain dram bagi menyediakan rancangan muzik untuk siaran radio.

Alfonso juga menggubah lagu Negaraku. Daripada sebuah lagu sentimental ke lagu yang menyuntik semangat patriotism, lagu Terang Bulan diberi nafas baharu menjadi lagu kebangsaan yang hari ini dikenali sebagai Negaraku. Semua sedia maklum, lagu Negaraku sebagai lambang visi kreatif Tunku Abdul Rahman, Perdana Menteri pertama Malaysia dan Bapa Kemerdekaan yang pertama kali melancarkan Negaraku mengiringi laungan merdeka selepas bendera Union Jack diturunkan.

Gus Steyn

Gus Steyn atau nama sebenarnya Gustaaf Nicolaas Steyn berasal dari Zaandam, Belanda. Banyak menyumbang kepada Malaysia menerusi penghasilan lagu-lagu patriotik, meskipun dia sebenarnya adalah seorang warga Singapura. Gus Steyn yang juga merupakan seorang konduktor orkestra dan pemain piano yang baik, dianggap antara komposer dan penggubah terbaik Malaysia selama lebih 30 tahun. Beliau juga bijak menggandingkan irama Malaysia bagi persembahan orkestra, antaranya lagu Kaparinyo Suite. Dibesarkan dan mendapat pendidikan awal di Belanda, Gus Steyn juga mendalami ilmu muziknya di tanah kelahirannya sebelum berhijrah ke Jakarta pada tahun 1940-an dan bekerja sebagai pemuzik.

Pada 1958, dia ke Singapura dan dilantik menjadi Pengarah Muzik di Radio TV Singapura. Semasa revolusi program pada tahun 1962, skim pemotongan gaji di Singapura menyebabkannya terpaksa berhenti kerja. Gus kemudiannya berhijrah pula ke Australia dan bermain muzik di kelab malam. Pada 1966, Tan Sri Dol Ramli dan Tan Sri Ahmad Merican telah ke Australia dan bertemu Gus Steyn, lalu menawarkannya bekerja bersama Orkestra RTM. Di Kuala Lumpur, Gus Steyn dilantik menjadi Timbalan Pemimpin di bawah seliaan Datuk Johari Salleh. Karya istimewanya, Overtue Samudra turut dimasukkan ke dalam kurikulum muzik formal Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 1972.

Datuk Johari Salleh

ORKESTRA Radio Malaysia pada tahun 1970 yang dibarisi 49 anggota.

Datuk Johari Salleh bertanggungjawab mengambil alih kepimpinan Orkestra RTM pada tahun 1965, selepas lima tahun di bawah pimpinan Alfonso Soliano. Dalam usaha memantapkan Orkestra RTM, Johari yang dilahirkan di Geylang, Singapura, pada 9 Februari 1940, melanjutkan pelajaran di Berklee College of Music di Boston pada tahun 1967. Sebelum menyertai Orkestra RTM, Johari mengumpul banyak pengalaman dengan bekerja di kelab malam di Singapura. Johari yang sangat mengagumi idolanya, Alfonso Soliano dan Jimmy Boyle.

Meminati lagu klasik, jazz dan pop, Johari menjadikan Due Helinton sebagai sumber inspirasi kepada karya jazz. Sementara itu, Tom Jones dan Henry William khusus untuk lagu pop. Johari turut mengagumi seniman agung, Tan Sri P. Ramlee dan Saloma yang merupakan sahabat baiknya semasa di Singapura. Di bawah pimpinan Johari Orkestra RTM terus memacu peranannya sebagai landasan mengembangkan seni persembahan dan muzik tanah air.

Datuk Ahmad Dassilah

Datuk Ahmad Dassilah Mohd. Yussuf merupapan pemuzik hebat bermain saksofon, flut dan klarinet di pentas. Beliau menjadi penerbit di Unit Hiburan Radio pada tahun 1967 yang mana itu merupakan impiannya.Dipilih menjadi nakhoda baharu Orkestra pada tahun 1984 dan bertanggungjawab sebagai Pengarah Muzik RTM. Berkat ilmu yang dipelajarinya semasa melanjutkan pelajaran di universiti ternyata Dassilah membawa kejayaan yang besar kepada Orkestra RTM.

Datuk Mokhzani Ismail

Pengarah muzik kelahiran Perlis pada usia tujuh tahun, Datuk Mokhzani Ismail diberikan sebuah piano oleh ayahnya, Ismail Ariffin. Mokhzani mula berjinak-jinak membuat persembahan dengan bermain bersama-sama band di kampungnya di Perlis untuk majlis kenduri kahwin atau ketika majlis keramaian.

Tahun 1960-an, tidak terdapat sekolah seni muzik, sungguhpun begitu berkat semangat yang cekal, Mokhzani belajar sendiri sambil dibantu oleh ayahnya.Pada usia 18 tahun, Mokhzani melanjutkan pelajaran ke Maktab Ilmu Khas. Istimewanya Mokhzani, beliau pelajar yang mahir mampu bermain apa sahaja lagu hanya menerusi pendengaran telinganya. Tahun 1982, beliau menjadi guru di Perlis.

Mokhzani meletak jawatan pada tahun 1986 mendapat biasiswa yang membawa Mokhzani terbang ke Boston melanjutkan pengajian di Berklee College of Music dalam bidang penggubahan orkestra. Selepas tiga tahun menuntut ilmu di luar negara dan lulus dengan Magna Cum Laude, Mokhzani kembali ke Malaysia pada tahun 1990.Seorang kenalan lama Mokhzani telah memperkenalkan Mokhzani kepada Pengarah Orkestra Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), Datuk Ahmad Dassilah. Detik itulah menjadi permulaan kepada penglibatan beliau dengan Orkestra RTM.

Did You Know: About deejay

deej

deejay (alternatively spelled DJ) is a reggae or dancehall musician who sings and toasts to an instrumental riddim (rhythm).

Deejays are not to be confused with disc jockeys from other music genres like Hip-Hop, where they select and play music. Dancehall/reggae DJs who select riddims to play are calledselectors. Deejays who are more likely to sing are sometimes called singjays.

The term deejay came about as a result of the act of some selectors (as they were called) of the 60s and 70s such as U-Roy or King Stitt toasting to the version side of popular records of the time. The version came about when the record company produced the 45 record with the song, the flip side of which had the instrumental version of the song. This gave the deejays the chance to make up on-the-fly lyrics to the instrumental music. This occurrence gave rise to deejay toasting and the term has been used in that context ever since.
