AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1963
AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1963 is the sixth edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. It was held on 16th of May 1963, which was held and organized by Radio Zafizamarrah. The competition was won by Marina Ramirona with the song "Dan Aku Berjalan Keluar Kota" representing Basna. This was Basna's first victory on the festival.
This competition was the second time the competition was held in Zafizamarrah and the first time that the contest returned to the capital after five years. The competition was held in the old Nur Ismaraddin Theatre, which would be demolished three years later to build the Mall of Alezia's movie theater which was across the street from the Mall of Alezia, which wouldn't be built until four years later (1967) and won't be completed until 1969.
The year was met with a new redesigned logo where the a trapezium was added to the circle logo representing the stage background and the trophy (the latter became a standard for 10 years.) Another notable thing is that this year's competition was presented by Maryam Isnoora, who won the competition last year. This is the first time that the winner of the previous competition hosted the next edition.
The trend of upbeat tropical songs continued after the previous year where all top three songs contained upbeat tone to it. This edition is also the first time that both of the entries from Zafizamarrah failed to scrape a top three finish.

Ramirona's victory gave her massive popularity considering also that the competition was a massive hit in Basna every year. Ramirona was also given the title of the most beautiful Alezian woman of 1962 which was supported by her victory on the festival.
