JessC and Dato’ AC Mizal Release Catchy New Hari Raya Song “Mari Menari Raya” | Hello everyone! How has your Ramadan been so far? It feels like just yesterday it began, and in the blink of an eye, Hari Raya will be here.

And speaking of that, this year seems to be pouring with new Hari Raya songs. They’re popping up everywhere, almost like a festive rain of music.

One of the latest releases, which dropped on 9 March 2026, is Mari Menari Raya. It’s the kind of song that instantly gets into your feed and, before you know it, the lyrics start living rent-free in your mind. Festive, modern and yes, very catchy too.

Mari Menari Raya is a lively Hari Raya song that blends modern pop with hip-hop grooves while still carrying the warmth of traditional Malay festive vibes. With its upbeat rhythm and cheerful arrangement, the song captures the joyful spirit of Aidilfitri: light, energetic and full of feel-good moments. It’s the kind of song that naturally makes you tap your feet, move along to the beat and celebrate the festive season with family and friends.

The Duo Behind Mari Menari Raya

The song brings together two dynamic Malaysian talents: JessC and Dato’ AC Mizal. Their collaboration blends JessC’s modern global pop and hip-hop style with AC Mizal’s charismatic and seasoned presence in the Malaysian entertainment scene. And of course, we can’t forget AC Mizal’s signature rap delivery, which adds an extra punch and energy to the song.

JessC has steadily built an impressive international profile. Her music has been featured twice in Rolling Stone—in the UK and Australia editions—reflecting her growing recognition beyond Malaysia. In 2025, she won Best Asian Pop at the InterContinental Music Awards for her song “My Style.” Over the years, she has released 14 studio albums along with seven therapeutic music albums, highlighting her passion for music not just as entertainment but also as a form of emotional healing. Beyond music, JessC is also an active advocate for healthcare and education, using her platform to promote well-being and positive social impact. She has also shared that one of her dreams is to collaborate with Malaysia’s iconic jazz-pop queen, Sheila Majid.

Dato’ AC Mizal, meanwhile, is no stranger to Malaysian audiences. Rising to fame as a member of the legendary hip-hop group 4U2C, he later became one of the country’s most recognizable entertainers, television hosts and performers. AC Mizal warmly commended JessC for taking the step to record a Hari Raya song, describing it as a wonderful way to celebrate Malaysia’s festive traditions. He also expressed strong support for the project, praising JessC’s team for their marvellous and professional work and shared that he looks forward to working together again in future collaborations.

Fresh and Festive Sound for Raya

Musically, Mari Menari Raya keeps things fresh and festive. The track features electronic drum beats, rhythmic claps, bright brass melodies, groovy basslines and crisp hi-hats that give the song its modern pop feel. All these elements come together to create a sound that’s vibrant and upbeat, yet still warm and welcoming, thus making it perfect for the festive season. The melody flows smoothly, adding a sense of joy and lightness that complements the celebratory mood.

The lyrics also carry a meaningful message about togetherness. Lines like “Tak kira siapa, tak kira bangsa, bila Raya kita satu warna” reflect the Malaysian spirit of unity, reminding listeners that Hari Raya is a time when people from all backgrounds can come together to share happiness and goodwill.

All in all, Mari Menari Raya is a modern festive track that celebrates the joy, warmth and togetherness of Hari Raya.

Mari Menari Raya [Lyrics]

Yeah! JC DAC!
Here we go!
Dari kota, ke desa
Rentak terasa, jom kita raya

[Verse 1]
Lampu kelip warna-warni
Takbir malam menyentuh hati
Aroma juadah memenuhi ruang
Panggil semua untuk pulang
Ooh, yeah, ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh

[Verse 2]
Salam diberi, maaf dipinta
Tawa riuh bersama-sama
Hati ringan tanpa beban
Bila Raya damai terasa

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh yeah, mari bersama (X2)

[Chorus]
Selamat, selamat Hari Raya
Mari, mari menari raya
Selamat, selamat Hari Raya
Ayo, ayo, semua ceria,
Hey, mari Raya

[Verse 3]
Yo! Pagi raya semuanya segak
Senyum lebar posing banyak
Rumah terbuka muzik pun kuat
Masuk saja terus terasa hangat
Lemang panas, kuah kacang padu,
Tambah lagi, memang tak jemu
Sepupu gelak tak tentu hala
Cerita lama keluar semula

[Verse 4]
Ooh, goyang sama
Satu konvoi balik bersama
Gelak tawa sepanjang jalan raya
Hip-hop groove campur irama desa
Sekali dengar terus nak gerak kepala
Jangan malu, jangan segan
Malam muda, teruskan jalan
Bring back the beat

Here we go

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh yeah, mari bersama (X2)

[Chorus 2]
Selamat, selamat Hari Raya
Mari, mari menari raya
Selamat, selamat Hari Raya
Ayo, ayo, semua ceria,
Selamat, selamat Hari Raya

Rentak sama satu irama
Tak kira siapa, tak kira bangsa
Bila raya kita satu warna

[Bridge 2]
Ay, yeah
Maaf Zahir dan Batin
