Assalamualaikum everyone ^^

Welcome to IIUM the garden of knowledge and virtue to the new intake students for Semester 2 session 2013/2014 and welcome back to IIUM guys..

Our club has successfully completed our first event in 2014!!! Alhamdulillah. We come back with the collaboration show for cultural night Taaruf Week Semester 2, 2013/2014. This event has been involved by cultural clubs which are Gamelan Gema Gangsa, Angklung, Acoustic Band, Percussion, Andeka Caklempong, Nasyeed, Theathre, Poetry, and Zapin. There were 10 of our club members who joined this show.

As being scheduled, the cultural night is on 30th January 2014. So, our members who will perform on that night have come back to IIUM on 21th September 2013 to start their training. Totally Gema Gangsa delivered 5 songs on that night, 1 song which is an awesome song composed by our own Cikgu Ku Zahir "CC2CKC@Cari Cari Cuba Kau Cari"(won the 1st place in Gamelan Melayu Peringkat Kebangsaan). While the other 4 songs are "Overture", "Hawaiian Five O", "Ya Rasulullah" and "Puteri Santubong" which were collaborated with all IIUM Cultural Clubs.We have been trained by our beloved plus adorable sifu, Cikgu Ku Zahir who personally train us day and night ^.^

FYI, previously, Cari-Cari Cuba Kau Cari has been played by senior members in Gamelan,who have been practicing and playing that song for a many times. But for this taaruf, junior members have been selected to perform this song,and Alhamdulillah, with all the supports from seniors, they were able to perform a breath-taking performances.
