Dewangga Sakti literally means Magical Tapestry. Founded in 2000, this ensemble attempts to bring age old ethnic Malay music to the contemporary audiences of today.
The group revives traditional song forms such as zapin, inang, asli, and joget etc which forms the very foundation of Malaysia’s folk musical tradition.
In a way, the band’s music is representation of the main musical genres of the spice islands of Southeast Asia.
Dewangga Sakti’s music is characterized by a strong passion for traditional rhythm and melodic forms, while imbuing it with creative ornamentation and a new vigour.
Apart from performance at formal and non-formal functions,the band also involved with Tourism Malaysia promotion in Taiwan (2006),China (2007) and Japan (2006 & 2008)
Among the instruments used in this ensemble are gambus (pear-shaped Middle Eastern instrument known as Oud in Arabic), rebana (Malay tradisional percussion), ,violin,etc.

saya orang indonesia yang ingin sekali berkarya di jalur music melayu. tapi saya kesulitan karena tak ada orang yang support saya. saya suka music kalian.
Pulang ke kampung SYURGA naik kereta JIHAD yang petrolnya ISTIQOMAH, Dengan pemandunya KEIKHLASAN, Lalu di jalan IMAN, Tapi jangan Lupa bawa Peta Al-QURAN & SUNNAH agar kita tak sesat di tengah jalan...juga jangan lupa bawa bekal TAQWA.....
Semoga kita semua akan bertemu disana.
Kini Ramadhan hadir lagi dan dengan segala kerendahan hati maafkanlah segala kesalahan saya selama ini. MARHABAN YA RAMADHAN. "Allahumma Bariklana fi Rajaba wa Sya'bana Wa Balligna Ramadhan"
Selamat mempersiapkan diri untuk menjalankan ibadah puasa 1429 H. Mari kita kuatkan Iman, bersama menyongsong kehadiran bulan yang penuh dengan Kemuliaan, Maghfirah dan Keberkatan ini.....INSYALLAH.....
