There have been many Hari Raya songs written, but after so many years, I still hear the following songs year in and year out.

They are what I call total classics, everybody knows them, they still sound good, and pretenders will have a very hard time replacing them.

The list is like a who’s who of the local entertainment scene with their very own unforgettable Aidilfitri number.

Saloma – Selamat Hari Raya

Sharifah Aini – Selamat Hari Raya

DJ Dave – Menjelang Hari Raya

Hail Amir & Uji Rashid – Seloka Hari Raya

Ahmad Jais – Selamat Hari Raya

Fazidah Joned – Selamat Hari Raya

Sanisah Huri – Selamat Hari Raya

Others, arguably lower down the ladder:

P Ramlee – Dendang Perantau
Sudirman – Dari Jauh Ku Pohon Maaf
Rafeah Buang – Bila Takbir Bergema
Aman Shah – Kepulangan Yang Dinanti
Dayangku Intan – Senandung Hari Raya Untukmu
Ramlah Ram – Hari Raya Hari Bahagia
