Ustaz Asri the revolution of nasyid music


we are saddened by the passing of Ustaz Asri of Rabbani. In 1997, Rabbani released their self-titled debut album but it was not until 2002 that they won the prestigious AIM award for best nasyid album Intifada, which many believe didn't sound like any other nasyid album. They incorporate modern music into their nasyid songs, instead of making music that is merely dominated by the sound of percussion instruments. They have succeeded in creating an interesting fusion of contemporary nasyid music, appealing to a larger (and younger) audience.

Rabbani also created a very unique song called 'Pergi tak kembali' where they colleborate with KRU who combines modern music with nasyid. The song and the lyrics tells about every human being will eventually 'go' when the time comes. it is a very well and advice song to all the people who listens. Ustaz Asri will be remember for his dedicated work through nasyid and other programme including giving speech and talk of motivation in the schools. Al- fatihah...
