Cindai is the third album from Malaysian pop singer Siti Nurhaliza released in 1997. This is the second album she released in the same year.
Cindai would be the first attempt by Siti to sing traditional Malay folk songs. It has been the most memorable album in the 90's for its impact in the Malaysian music industry. The song called Cindai (the first track) has been nominated for the best song in the 90's.
After the successful debut (Sri Mersing) in her second album she later on committed on recording a fully traditional Malay album. Although the entire songs of the album are not fully composition, her stunning voice made the songs her own song. There were only two songs which have been fully composition, "Cindai" and "Joget Berhibur".
