Although singer-songwriter Datuk Ramli Sarip has been in the music industry for more than five decades now, he tells StarLifestyle he still very much enjoys performing.

The 70-year-old adds that he sees it as his job; something he wants to continue as long as he can.

And that’s exactly what he’s doing with his upcoming concert at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP), KLCC, on May 13, at 8.30pm.

Titled Syair Timur, the concert is inspired by Ramli’s 1997 album of the same name, which takes folklore stories and incorporates them to the sounds of modern tunes. The compositions also carry many good advice for those who care to listen.
