JAKARTA: After decades of absence in music industry, the queen of dangdut Elvy Sukaesih has returned with a mini album of five religious songs.
Kapanlagi.com reported on Sunday that the 63-year-old has released the album titled Umi Bersalawat (Mother Glorifies the Name of God) on June 25.
'It's a last-minute thing. I've always wanted to praise Allah for his blessings. I released the album to commemorate my 50 years of career and my birthday.
'It also coincides with the start of the fasting month,' she said.
Elvy, who made a duet album with Rhoma Irama, Raja dan Ratu (King and Queen), which became a hit in 1975, hoped that her new songs would be played during Islamic religious events.
