AWARD-WINNING singer Misha Omar will be coming to town for the Munchy’s Love Concert 2008 at Dataran Batu Pahat, Batu Pahat, on Feb 17 at 8pm.
Misha, from Kota Baru, Kelantan, is known for her good rapport with the audience, lively performances and superb singing style.
Both her albums (Misha and Aksara) have gone platinum. She won the Best Vocal Performance award in Anugerah Juara Lagu for two conservative years, and a Gold award at the 2003 Shanghai Music Festival.
Her hits include Pulangkan, the haunting theme from acclaimed movie Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam, which starred Maya Karin, Bunga-Bunga Cinta, Dedebu Cinta, Halaman Cinta and Ku Seru (from Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 2, also starring Maya).
Misha has also branched into acting. She appeared in the third of the three Gerak Khas movies directed by Datuk Yusof Haslam.
Her most recent film was comedy Main-Main Cinta, in which she starred alongside Sabah singer Adam (Aizam) Mat Saman and Kelantan-born actor-comedian M. Rajoli.
The singer will be sharing the stage with Labuan-based newcomer Karen Kong, who made waves last year when she launched her debut album entirely in Malay, Mulakan. It featured Cinta Hello Kitty and Ku Tak Upaya, both penned by songwriter Asmin Mudin (lyricist of Malaysian Idol Jaclyn Victor’s Gemilang).
Other celebrities who will be appearing in the concert are Apple Hong, Cheryl Samad, Rynn Lin Yu Zhong and Anthony Cheng.
The free two-hour concert is the highlight of a two-day carnival from Feb 16, which will have booths selling all sorts of items.
It is co-organised by Munchy’s Food Industries and Singesen Machineries Trading Sdn Bhd, held in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.
