In 2021, Singaporean crooner Rudy Djoe presented a digital showcase titled "Dari Kalbuku" (From My Heart). This online concert featured original songs from his 2016 album of the same name, along with reimagined renditions of iconic tunes from the Malay and Indonesian music traditions.

The folk song "Rasa Sayange" (also spelled "Rasa Sayang") originates from the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. It is a traditional folk song that has been passed down through generations in the Nusantara (Maritime Southeast Asia) region, particularly in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

The song is often sung in a call-and-response format, with playful verses that convey love, friendship, and joy. Its title translates to "Feeling of Love" in English, and it reflects themes of harmony, community, and affection for nature.

"Rasa Sayange" is widely recognized as part of Indonesia's cultural heritage. It has also gained popularity in Singapore and Malaysia, where it is seen as a shared cultural treasure due to the historical and cultural connections between the three countries.
