Musician Endang Hyder stands out as the rare Malay musician who plays the erhu.
From performing at corporate events to accompanying artistes and even for royal events, Endang has built a following for her unique interest in the instrument, as for her musical talents.
The erhu, which is sometimes called the Chinese violin, is a two-string musical instrument that is commonly used to accompany Chinese operas.
“I fell in love with the sound of the erhu. It’s so melodious. It’s unique. Its music calms the soul, it’s different from other musical instruments,” said Endang, now 31.
Endang, whose real name is Ell Zain Hyder Zainuddin, grew up with a strong love for music, which got the support and encouragement of her family.
She credited her interest and ability to pick up the erhu on her growing up years in Kampar, Perak.
“Ever since I was young, I’ve been surrounded by people of all races. The housing area I live in in Kampar also has many ethnic Chinese,” said the musician, who holds a Licentiate (LLCM) diploma from the London College of Music.
