Mama Jazz.

That's what most fans call Ms Junji Delfino, one of the preeminent jazz singers in Malaysia.

Originally from the Philippines, she's been in Malaysia since 1985 and also had a role in the movie, Crazy Rich Asians.

She was recently in an ensemble production chronicling life during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

They're both songstressss in their own right and have made their mark on Malaysia's entertainment scene.

Meet Salamiah Hassan and her daughter, Atilia Haron.

And they finally performed together to sing their own songs over two sets at Jao Tim KL's tablelamp concert series on May 20.

Salamiah's voice is as vibrant as ever as she hit both the low and high notes to the delight of the crowd.

Of course, Atilia too showed her chops as she went through a list including some from her upcoming 4th album.

Handphones flicker like Zippos in the wind, capturing and making moments of the past in the present for the future.

The Pesta Ronggeng Vol 2.0 — songs and joget in the key and times of Saloma and P. Ramlee — brought back to life by the irrepressible Aruel Ariel and The FaSoLa with a few guests at Jao Tim last week.
