Fondly known as the 'Alabama' of Malaysia, Os Pombos is playing at the Musicians for Musicians Benefit Concert 2020 in mid March. FMTNews FMTLifestyle Pombos

In Malaysia, the name Os Pombos is synonymous with country music. That is hardly any wonder as the band has been the local ambassador for country and western music for a whopping 40 years.

“It’s a good platform to raise funds for musicians who need help,” Jude says. Along with the rest of the band, he will be dressed in full country get up complete with cowboy hat and bolo tie. They have no regrets for the path they have chosen. “It was in fact Father Augusto that gave us our name – “Os Pombos” which means ‘The Doves’,” Jude relates.

Os Pombos played at venues like the Straits Travel Inn at Pudu Raya Hotel, Furama Hotel, Holiday Inn On The Park and Rasa Sayang Penang. But it was at the Federal Hotel that things took a turn down the country road.
