August 1997, A Cut Above, Bangsar (don’t even ask how I got my hands on this photo)
I am not sure when this was taken but probably 1999 or 2000 or even earlier. Taman Tun? Do I have more from this set? Yes. Do I have any idea where they are? No. I am sure if [...]
In case you have not joined Maman’s Facebook yet, this was a message that he wrote on his wall:
The gist of it:
Maman’s coming up with an album containing 10 brand new, unreleased tracks
He composed and wrote the lyrics to all of them and believes this is his best work to-date
In a few days, he will [...]

Update: I finally got my hands on the original video source so you don’t have to go through the hassle of signing in/up for Facebook. Here you go:

Maman has given permission to post the MP3s for Warisan Wanita Terakhir and Kasih Kupinjam Wajahmu in this site (see my Disclaimer). So, look out for those two very soon (I’m rushing for time here but I promise [...]
