From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cindai is the third solo album from Malaysian pop singer Siti Nurhaliza released in 1997. This is the second album she released in the same year.
Cindai would be the first attempt by Siti to sing in Malay Traditional Folk songs. It has been the most memorable album in the 90's for its impact in the Malaysian music industry. The song called Cindai (the first track) has been nominated for the best song in the 90's.
After the successful debut (Sri Mersing) in her second album she later on committed on recording a fully traditional Malay album. Although the entire songs of the album are not fully composed by the composer but her stunning voice made the songs her own song. There were only 2 singles which have been fully composed by the producer namely Cindai and Joget Berhibur.
[edit] Controversy
Controversy arose when speculation began as to the true meaning of Cindai. Cindai is understood as a type of traditional Malay fabric but some claimed that its real meaning was Banshee or vampire. It seems from the lyrics of the song that the lyricist intended the former definition, particularly noting the first verse's description of the qualities of the fabric.
