FAMA, Hanjin, DJ Jeana Concert in Genting 农夫。陈奐仁。何佩瑜音乐大联盟. 云顶50 周年庆演唱会- 06 June 2015










































































Genting celebrated its 50th anniversary in Malaysia with a succession of concerts this year.  First, I was spellbound by  Aaron’s  dazzling stage presence,  followed by diva Sammi Cheng’s electrifying performance and  now, it’s my  fave rappers’ turn – FAMA ! FAMA shared the stage with multi-talented composer-singer-record producer, Hanjin Tan, along with pseudo-model turned hot babe actress, Jeanna Ho.  Seeing the duo in action never fails to put a smile on my face and I have been saying the same thing for the past 7 years.  6-Wing is now a daddy of two cute girls and is more focus on shooting TVB series now (having just completed “Blue Veins” with Kevin Cheng).  FAMA seems to be keeping their music on the back burner in recent years.   So, I was definitely more than delighted when FAMA announced that their much awaited EP (under EEG label) is set for release on 9th of June !  It has been too long a wait for fans of FAMA and I hope the EP would catapult them back to the forefront to HK music scene.

FAMA rolled out the concert with a spanking new song “P得霸气一点” , bouncing from one corner  of  Arena Of Stars to the other , and taking wefie with the audience.  Aside from entertaining the fans with a string of their familiar hip hop tunes, non-stop roar of laughters were heard whenever FAMA shared anecdotes about HK concerts, singers and even poke fun at Canto lingo (Malay style).  The crowd were very responsive to  FAMA’s cheeky questions. Unfortunately, since it is not FAMA’s solo act, I had to be contented with just 11 songs.  Arghhh !

Next up is sexy siren, Jeanno Ho, famed for her appearance in “Lan Gwai Fong” movies (喜愛夜蒲). I actually planned to make use of this time to go for my bio break but scrapped the idea coz to my surprise, Jeanna puts up a good show.  Her singing skill was not bad at all, which was so much better than many TVB artistes who could hardly hold a tune.   If the men were expecting Jeanna to bare skin, they would be disappointed.  Jeanna exudes charm, in her simple yet alluring attire.  The guys seated in my vicinity (obviously beguiled by Jeanna) were hollering her name on and on.  Jeanna had also spent considerable time in Malaysia last year, shooting with Joyce Cheng and Eliza Shum in action packed movie, “Special Female Force”.

The final performer for the evening is  Hong Kong based Singaporean , Hanjin Tan. I may not be a fan of his acting or singing but I do have high regards for his keen and passionate musical sense.  I like many of his compositions (especially the ones he had written for Joey Yung). It was an eye-opener for me when Hanjin introduced us to a gadget called “Looper” (from the word “loop” aka “never ending”).  In a nutshell, with a loop machine, you don’t need a band anymore. A single person could very well turned into a full- fledged band.  See for yourself – click on Hanjin’s clip, singing “一步一步“ (a Mandarin duet with Sammi Cheng). Impressive toy !  Hanjin revealed that the singer he admired most is none other than Taiwanese rocker, Jam Hsiao. Jam’s “Marry Me” was composed by Hanjin.  With “举高双手”  being played once again, the two hour concert came to a close.
