Abstract
Malam Senandung Deli dianjurkan oleh Karim Iskandar sebagai lanjutan kegiatan tahunannya mengumpul dan memperkenalkan para seniman-seniwati dengan mengambil sempena perayaan Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Walaupun kegiatan-kegiatan tahun lampau tetamu-tetamu terkumpul daripada kalangan penyanyi dan pelakon, kemudian dicampurkan dengan wartawan hiburan, namun penganjur mula mengimbau karyawan sastera untuk turut serta. Ungkapan 'Senandung Deli' itu sinonim dengan 'Lagu Melayu Asli' yang murni dan kebanyakan sasterawan akan mengaitkan nama Deli itu dengan roman 'Merantau ke Deli' karya Hamka (1941). Penyampai merujuk kepada kisah dan tempat itu yang dinamakan Deli dan mengajak tetamu mengambil iktibar untuk memanfaatkan pertemuan itu.
The Malam Senandung Deli was organised by Karim Iskandar as an extension of his annual activities to gather and introduce artistes and for Hari Raya celebrations. Although guests from previous years' events were mostly singers and actors, he extended his invitations to entertainment journalists and now to literary writers too. The term 'Senandung Deli' is synonymous with Malay asli songs and most writers will associate 'Deli' with the romance novel 'Merantau ke Deli' written by Hamka (1941). The speaker refers to the story and the place named 'Deli' and invites guests to take advantage of the opportunities that this meeting may bring.
