Her second album produced by Remaco.
With sound effects in "Hujan" ( Rain ) : Roaring Thunder.
and in "Samudraku" ( My Ocean ) : The surfing waves.
Also one of the shortest songs ever produced: "Jemput Aku Jam Lima Sore" which lasts only 1 minute and 16 seconds.
All songs on this LP are of good quality. A few to mention; "Kau Selalu Di Hatiku": very intense.
"Mustafa": A song that could fit in "Sinbad" "Ali Baba" or "1001 night'' film.
All the songs are still easy to find as they are many times re-recorded.
The cover of the LP is damaged: The Remaco company used ordinary thin paper.
ATTENTION : The first song of this playlist is not complete because the outer rim of this record is not playable anymore..

 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.
