ELLY KASIM
''Main Kim"
Band: Zaenal Combo
Conductor: Zaenal Arifin.
Main Kim = Playing "Kien" or "Kienspel"( In Holland )
at present named "Lotto" or "Bingo".
On the photo of the album cover: Elly Kasim shaking the drum with the numbers to be drawn.
The rattling sound to be heard in the title song.
Some other songs are "deep" Minang in orchestration.
The "Saluang" can be heard, a bamboo flute used in music from the Minangkabau region.
The three songs by Zainal Arifin are more like the regular non-Minang songs.
This composer achieved better on other recordings.
ATTENTION: The record is in bad condition.
Still it can be interesting for anyone who wants to make a hisorical survey of this music.
Song titles I could translate:
Main Kim - Playing Bingo
Dua Hati Telah Bertemu - Two hearts already met
Dirantau - Living abroad
Kunanti Di St. Balapan - I wait at the Balapan Station
Tabik Matohari - Goodbye sun
Sahabat Lama - Old friend
Jakarta Indah - Beutiful jakarta
