Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan
Pertemuan serampang mata-hati, pada tanah leluhur hampir menemui sedekad setengah perjalanan mencari jati diri, penyatuan, perpisahan duniawi oleh kasih yang tidak kenal musim.
Masing-masing mencuri masa untuk tidak dirampas keabadian fana. Sembah- hyiang, sujud syukur yang terabai, kami hanya debu-debuan yang meminjam seribu nama darjat tinggi-Mu, seringkali melupakan dareah seni ini adalah tangga untuk mengenal keatasan langit yang tiada penghujung.
Semalam yang hening, di celah liang milik mu, segala yang pernah bermula - di sini, akan terus di sini.
Along the road or memories
A serendipitous encounter between eyes and heart, on the ancestral land, nearly a decade and a half journey of seeking self-identity, unity, separation in this worldly life by love that knows no season.
Each steals time not to be seized by the impermanence of life. Offering prayers, neglected prostrations of gratitude, we are but dust that borrows a thousand names of Your high ranks, often forgetting that this artistic region is a ladder to understand the endless heights of the sky.
A quiet night yesterday , in the crevice of your belonging, everything that once began - here, will remain here.

"Pulai meh nuan"
Mourning the recent passing of our dear sister Florence Lasam on 20th August 2024.
Florence has been Nading Rhapsody's Road Manager since the start of our journey.
Despite battling with cancer for the past few years, she has played an important role in our team, ensuring we were all taken care of. We are sure, along with Nading, she had her fair share of crossing-paths with many great people we met over the years.
No more pain.
No more suffering.
Her soul is in good hands now.
Farewell, Florence. 🤍🕊️
