Titiek Sandhora - ( Remaco RL 079 )




 




REMACO RL 079 ( Prod, ml 10225 - 26 )
TITIEK SANDHORA
"Si Bontjel"
Band: Empat Nada
Conductors: Jadin / A. Rijanto.
The Debut Album:
On the cover Titiek Sandhora, with the many freckles, the gossip magazines sometimes were speculating it was a good or bad omen.
The angry looking doll must be the "Boncel" she's singing about. Many songs were about " I know someone who always uses to....... So the first song is about a little boy who mistreats cats and doing other mischief.
Mazef's favo: "Senda Gurau" ( Making jokes )
"Kisah Hidupku" ( The story of my life ) is a more serious one.
Jasir Sjam was also Remaco's talent scout, when the singer was discovered she was invited by Januar Hasanudin to do a studio recording. This resulted in her first album, from 20 januari 1969, recorded on the day she became 15 years of age.She received 40.000 rupiah payment for it.
The songs became successful , many LP records were released, I think in the period 1969-1972 about 23 LP albums.

The name Sandhora was given by her stepfather who served as a UN military in the Sinai Desert probably after a name of a local spot there.
