BALI RBL 120
PATTIE BERSAUDARA
"Darmawisata"
Band: Zaenal Combo
Conductor: Zaenal Arifin.
ATTENTION! The song "Kasih" is on a damaged section of the record, bad recording.
One of the first recordings of the singing Pattie Sisters.
They are of Moluccan ancestry, made many songs from this region but many other genres also.
The first song "Darmawisata" cannot translate exactly, quite a highbrow word, it has something to do with a day out in nature.
Indonesians do not like facing their mighty nature alone, they like to bring with them as much people as possible ( Opa dan Oma boleh ikut juga, Grandfather and grandmother may join also) maybe it is the reason those bus-like family cars are so populair.
Other things to bring are:
a "Tikar" a mat everyone can sit on.
a "Termos" , thermosflask to keep tea hot or lemonade cool.
Lots of food for everyone.
Someone with a guitar
Last but not least, everyone bring good humour an laughter, which even cannot spoiled by those sudden tropical rainfal.
But lets concentrate on the music:
"Gelisah Hatiku" . My restless heat. Nice song. Judging by his name the composer Jan Maeluhu is Moluccan.
"Kasih" the melody maybe imported from abroad, I cannot trace the originals. There is a nasty dent or bump on the record, the overall quality of its surface is poor. The cover is missing. Someone cleaning up his house found this record and gave it to me.
"Dusunku" My Hamlet, Small houses amidst nature, very tranquil, maybe with a plot of land to grow something. Many people living a stressful city-life are considering to buy a piece of land far away to raise crops or animals. They have to wait till they are retired.
"Soleram" is a traditional oldie. The words can be easily adapted or altered so there are many versions and variations.
"Aku Pergi" I go. Nice guitarplay.
"U Late" is a populair Moluccan-styled song. Brings in mind white sandy beaches and palm trees. Many songs from this region have 18th century gentleness.
"Rindukanmu" My longing. It is from "My happiness" by Connie Francis.
