YANTI BERSAUDARA
Band: Medenasz
Conductor: Dimas Wahab
The Yanti Sisters
This must be the first recording of this group and approx from 1965 or 1966.
"Gumbira" is a Sundanese composition by Mangkoko Koswara, one of the founders of Sundanese modern music.
"Abunawas" and "Lampu Aladin" an oriental setting, which suits to the eastern tales in these songs
The composer Jessy Wenas did this more often, see also the song "Kisah 1001 Malam" on playlist 036.
"Menuai Padi" has a Latin American flavor, not uncommon in those days.
"Tarik Layar" ( "Hoist the Sails" ) is more close to melodies from the Moluccas.
So most songs are songs are calmly an melodious from the time singers still were acompanied by orchestras instead of bands, also to be detected the descending tones of the Sundanese style, sounding odd to untrained ears.
The song "Purnama Dan Irama" is already somewhat more vivacious.
