From her humble beginnings in the suburbs of Subang Jaya to the
glamorous floodlights of Hollywood, Yunalis Zarai has proven time and
time again that she is a world-class act in her own right.
Yuna's voyage to the United States has so far been a tale of
wonders. After releasing her debut self-titled US album under the
uber-hip Fader label, she got the attention of world-renown
composer/producer David Foster and was recently signed under his Verve
Music Group and now is a part of his stable of artists that boasts the
likes of Andrea Bocelli, Carla Bruni, Diana Krall, Melody Gardot and so
many more.
Her latest offfering, the Sixth Street EP (featuring
collaboration with Mike Einziger from the critically-acclaimed rock
band Incubus) was a strong indication of an artist making her mark into
the international music scene and heading towards greater heights
making her much-anticipated second full-length album something to be
excited about.
In collaboration with Istana Budaya and coinciding with the
National Symphony Orchestra's (NSO) 20th year anniversary, Yuna's debut
Istana Budaya solo concert promises 3 magical nights of sights and
sounds as she and her band The Palauans presents the audience with a
captivating, never-seen-before journey into Yuna's musical wonderland
with the lush accompaniment of the NSO led by renowned conductor Mustafa
Fuzer Nawi.
This 2-hour long concert will bear witness to Yuna's musical
prowess delivering 20 of her self-written songs on the grandest of
stages deep in the heart of Kuala Lumpur; where it all began for this
humble girl with big dreams.
