Recognize this song?
00:13
If you were around in 1985, you'd likely be familiar with Bersama di Hari Raya.
00:18
And even if you weren't, thanks to its catchy tune and evocative lyrics,
00:23
the song is still being performed today.
00:26
[singing]
00:33
[music]
00:37
Did you know that Bersama di Hari Raya was performed by two Indian sisters?
00:42
Meet Helen and Aireen Savari of the band Cendrawase.
00:47
Popular in the '80s, they produced three albums,
00:50
the first of which, released in 1984, featured their hit song, "Daritamu Daritaku."
00:56
[singing]
01:01
Bersama di Hari Raya was released the following year.
01:05
Today, Aireen is the president and CEO of the International College of Music,
01:10
while Helen is a producer in Switzerland, where she lives with her husband and children.
01:16
The Savari sisters grew up in TTDI in Kuala Lumpur,
01:20
where they learned to sing at an early age from their music-loving mother.
01:24
My mom would buy cassettes of all the trending pop songs of that time,
01:33
and then we'll just play it and we'll learn by ear.
01:36
And of course we had guitar lessons and at some point piano lessons.
01:43
And we were doing that and on the side we were just teaching ourselves how to sing.
01:49
Both sisters are glad that Bersama di Hari Raya continues to spread joy in this day and age.
01:56
My mom used to take screenshots and send to me of some of the comments,
02:01
and they said, like, you know, and I was very, very, felt very warm,
02:05
and felt very happy to see all this outpouring of love and, you know,
02:10
people thinking back, you know, Kenangan Manis, you know, of the 1980s, how they loved it.
02:19
So can we expect a reunion performance from Chindra Wassey in the near future?
02:25
Nothing as yet.
02:29
Of course I would be very happy if there was an opportunity for Helen and I to even just,
02:34
you know, probably just work on a single.
02:37
Doesn't require that much promotion.
02:40
Maybe as a dedication to all the fans.
02:42
Here's hoping they do.
02:45
Vivia Ragu and Terence Toh, FMT Lifestyle.

02:55
Bye!
