Sanisah Huri - A brief overview of her career and many singing styles - by Ghaz

I read an article in Malaysia's Berita Harian reporting that Sanisah Huri will be performing at the Petronas Philharmonic Hall in Kuala Lumpur next month. I'm so excited to know this, as Sanisah has been my favorite singer, while the hall is a very prestigious venue for a concert meant for the elite class of Malaysian society. 

Performing at this venue and other prestigious place like the Istana Budaya is indeed an achievement. I had watched two concerts in Istana Budaya alone - the first one featuring Ahmad Jais with my best friend while the other with a group of pop yeh yeh performers with Yatie. 

  

Sanisah Huri's recording work with The Terwellos, The Hooks, Clique Fantastique and Dendang Perindu on EMI. 

Sanisah Huri has a long singing career from the 1960s until the mid-1980s. In the film "A-Go-Go '67", she performed "Siapa Gerangan" (Who Is He?)  with a band called The Terwellos, after which she made an SP (where this song and "Alam Seni" was included) and an EP with the same band on EMI label. Then, she recorded with The Hooks (1968), Dendang Perindu (1969) and Clique Fantastique (1970), before moving on as a solo artist. 

Among recording works by Sanisah Huri in Senada, both as a solo artist and as a team member of Suara Perindu.

Her contract with EMI ended in 1974, after which she joined Senada owned by composer Kassim Masdor, who also composed many hit songs for her, with lyrics provided by Yusnor Ef. She remained there until 1979. In 1976, Sanisah teamed up with Hasnah Haron, J. Kamisah and jamaliah Shamsuri as Suara Perindu and managed to cut two EPs. During the reawakening of pop yeh yeh craze in 1985, Sanisah re-recorded many of her top hits in an LP by Warnada based in Kuala Lumpur. 

Sanisah Huri's album with Warnada produced in 1985. 

Sanisah also appeared in films as an extra. Besides "A-Go-Go '67", she also appeared in Mat Sentol's direction "Mat Toyol" (1969), singing "Si Baju Hijau" (The Guy In A Green Uniform), and "Dendang Perantau" (A Traveller's Serenade) (1979) singing "Hari Jadi" (Birthday) together with Hail Amir and A. Ramlie.
