M. Bakri - M. Bakri (Kenangan) (1969)

1/6/2019

Comments

Just added the reboot of M. Bakri's last self-titled EP otherwise known as "Kenangan" and also for his signature song "Sumbangsih". Backed by "Dendang Perindu" led by Kassim Masdor who probably produced and arranged the whole thing anyway (not indicated on the album). Formerly 128kbps in MN, this newly encoded from vinyl with glorious 320kbps for your enjoyment. Also, added new images of front, back and vinyl labels for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! This is my favourite album by M. Bakri and the one that started it all (MN) back in 1998.
