KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian music Queen of Borneo, Marsha Milan, wants to celebrate and invite all her fans for a free jamming session in Kuala Lumpur/

It will be an intimate celebration filled with the beauty of sound, culture, and art, Marsha will be performing with a special event, “Misompuru: Borneo Album Listening Session” on 13 July 2025 (Sunday), from 4 to 6 pm at RXP, REX KL.

The singer who in February won the Anugerah Juara Lagu 2025 title for the song “Hening Rindu” has now notched up another success in her long glittering career with the launch of her new album “Misompuru”.

“Misompuru” is a term derived from the Dusun language, meaning “gathering” in English, or “crowd” in Malay. Through this session, Marsha aims to translate that spirit by bringing together fans and media representatives to fully appreciate and enjoy the uniqueness of Borneo music.

As a work born from a deep love for her homeland, “Misompuru” emerges as Marsha Milan’s love letter to Borneo.

It brings together elements of nostalgia, strength of spirit, and longing for her hometown, which makes this work close to the hearts of listeners, especially Borneo residents who always want to return to enjoy it.

With a rhythm and musical style that reflects the unique taste of Sabah and Sarawak, which is different from the music of the Peninsular, “Misompuru” brings a fresh voice to a genre that is rarely featured in the mainstream music industry.

Even more proud, “Misompuru” also paved the way for Marsha Milan to break into the international stage.

After winning the AJL39 trophy, she was recently invited to the ROUND ASEAN-Korea Music Festival 2025, to bring songs from this album as representatives of Borneo’s identity. This proves that Misompuru is not just an album, but a manifestation of heritage art that is now recognized globally, befitting the Queen of Borneo, Malaysia.

“Misompuru: Borneo Album Listening Session” is not just about music; it is an immersive and interactive cultural experience, bringing together elements of Borneo music, art, and tradition in one space.

Admission is free, but seating is limited, so make sure to register early for a live performance of all five songs from the Misompuru album, Cultural demonstrations and dances such as Magunatip, Sumpit and Sumazau, Traditional Borneo food and drink offerings and a stall offering exclusive Marsha Milan merchandise

Marsha also encourages all fans coming to the show to come dressed in Borneo fashion, and she will herself present the best-dressed fans with special gifts.

Listen to all the songs from the “Misompuru” album on all major digital streaming platforms. But if you want to truly experience the Borneo spirit from every verse, voice and performance by Marsha Milan said, “join me in the jamming session”.
