Production

Sanggar Mustika became Siti Nurhaliza's fourth traditional album after the success of her previous traditional album – Cindai (1997), Seri Balas (with Noraniza Idris; 1999) and Sahmura (2000). It also was her fourth collaboration with Pak Ngah. [1]

The album title was chosen based on the meaning "sanggar" which means place and "mustika" means beautiful or perfect. It was translated as the beautiful places to putting the traditional rhythms. The recording of Sanggar Mustika took place in January 2001 when Siti Nurhaliza launched her seventh album, Safa and completed in February 2002. [2] Most of the lyrics in this album revolves around the question of discretion, moral, divine, avoid slander and many more. [2]

One of the songs in the album, "Kurik Kundi" composed by Pak Ngah and written by Nurul Asyiqin requires Siti to use seven Malaysian state accents – namely Penangite, Kedahan, Perakian, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantanese, Sabahan and Sarawakian accents. [3] In an interview with Utusan Malaysia on 15 March 2002, she said she willing to learn several district accents from several states in Malaysia to be included in "Kurik Kundi". [3] Through this song, Siti wants to tell communities there that Malaysia is rich with various cultures, while saying: "I found this just very difficult while singing it in Kelantanese dialect, other languages such as Sabah and Sarawak was not a problem". [lower-alpha 1] [3]

Siti also said she is willing to work hard to ensure that the traditional rhythm successfully placed on a higher level, while satisfying with musical arrangements made by Ramli MS who also provides the modern rhythm. [3] In Sanggar Mustika, she wrote the lyrics for "Panas Berteduh Gelap Bersuluh". [3]
