Nasida Ria: Sun Stage

In 1975, in a female dormitory in Semarang City. (The late) H. Muhammad Zain and 9 (nine) female santris practiced musical instruments to preach, in a group named Nasida Ria. Magically, Nasida Ria officially became an international qasidah group in 1980. Today, through the way of thinking, the way of behaving, and the way of responding to the shift in the digital era carried out by Choliq Zain as manager. Nasida Ria is almost half a century old, with a total of 4 (four) regenerations. Having experienced upheaval with record labels and personnel moving between groups, Choliq didn't bother. He resolved everything with patience for almost three years. Rather than wanting to inspire the mainstream music world through qasidah. Nasida Ria chooses to always preach through music and wants to make qasidah music a part of the Archipelago.
