 | | Together with his band, The Soneta Group, and coperformers including Elvy Sukaesih and Evie Tamala, Irama helped to transform the old style of music played by the Malay Orchestra into the modern, rhythmic, dance-inspiring, sounds of dangdut. |
 | | While heavily inspired by rock, Irama continued to be influenced by urban Arab pop, Indian film music and orkes melayu, which combined Malaysian and western elements. |
 | | In the 1990s, Irama shifted his support to the new order and became a major factor in the new order's reapprochment with the Muslims. |
