 The Polydor label was one of the European labels that venturing into Asia.
This label formed a kind of conglomerate with Philips, Fontana, and Popsound labels, who were even more active in Asia (based in Malaysia, but with many releases of Indonesian bands and singers.
5 songs written by Kosaman Djaja a Sundanese Composer. Probably special for this record, as never heard before by other singers.
Some songs are slow, lounge like. From this catogory Maz's favo is:" Hampa Menanti". ( waiting in vain )
The faster more upbeat ones are more according to M's preferences: "Selamat Tinggal Singapura" ( Goodbye Singapore ) " Bang Becak " ( "Becak Driver" ), maybe you know already, The Becak is a bicycle taxi, already longtime banned from Jakarta's streets.
"Aku Dikibulin" ( I am fooled ) "Hijau Daun Rambutan" ( Green are the leaves of the rambutan tree ) a kind of "Pantun" ( Poem ) sometimes with nonsense rhymes, but also with hidden double meanings, nice pretty beat by the music.
"Suratmu" ("Your letter") just fine in style it. M. likes the most, resembles songs by Ernie Djohan.
"Mengapa Kau Curi Hariku" ( "Why You Stole My Heart" )The guitar sounding like Enteng Tanamal was present.

Another LP album by this singer is "Kahuma" with Sundanese songs.
