For Singapore companies, Hari Raya entertainment presents a wonderful opportunity to embrace the Malay Muslim culture and celebrate together with your diverse workforce and clients.
Top Hari Raya Entertainment Acts in Singapore
1. Kompang Drummers
The kompang is the most iconic Malay percussion instrument, traditionally played at celebrations and festivities. A kompang group performance creates an electrifying, festive atmosphere that instantly signals celebration. Kompang performers are perfect for event openings, welcoming VIPs, or as a standalone entertainment act for your Hari Raya corporate event.
2. Traditional Malay Dance (Joget & Zapin)
Joget and Zapin are traditional Malay dance forms that bring elegance and cultural authenticity to corporate celebrations. These lively, colourful performances are suitable for all audiences and can be adapted for both formal gala dinners and casual office celebrations.
3. Dikir Barat Performances
Dikir Barat is a Malay performing art involving a group of singers performing in a call-and-response style, accompanied by percussion. It’s energetic, joyful, and highly interactive — performers often engage with the audience, making it perfect for corporate events where audience participation is desired.
4. Malay Cultural Music Ensemble
A Malay cultural music ensemble featuring instruments like the gamelan, rebana, and serunai creates a sophisticated, culturally rich ambience for Hari Raya corporate dinners and receptions. This is an excellent choice for formal events where you want elegant background music with cultural significance.
5. Silat Martial Arts Demonstration
Silat is the traditional Malay martial art — a graceful, flowing performance that combines combat moves with dance-like elements. Silat demonstrations are visually stunning and make for a unique, memorable entertainment option that most guests will not have seen before.

When planning Hari Raya entertainment for a corporate event in Singapore, consider these important points. Ensure all food served is halal-certified if your event includes a meal. Schedule the event outside of prayer times. Be mindful that Hari Raya falls at the end of Ramadan, so some Muslim staff may have been fasting — choose performance times accordingly.
