Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry studies audience response to Kazim Al-Sahir song

A thesis from Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh examines audience responses to the song ‘Ana Wa Layla’ performed by Kazim Al-Sahir. Utilizing Wolfgang Iser’s literary reception theory, the study analyzes viewer comments and feedback gathered from YouTube.

The research categorizes audience responses into three distinct areas: appreciation for the singer’s vocal quality and emotional delivery, the strong emotional impact of the song itself—including feelings of sadness and moving experiences—and the understanding of the lyrical symbolism regarding deep love, longing, and sincere emotion.
