Elly Kasim, Nuskan Syarif, Eva Noerdin

PRINDU RECORDS NAL 723
ELLY KASIM, NUSKAN SYARIF, EVA NOERDIN
"Top Minang Pop"
Band: Kumbang Cari
Conductor: Nuskan Syarif.

Attention. Its not Mazefs fault, it is on the record itself, a rumbling noise like someone on the set did not connect a cable properly
only on song nr 2 ( Tanjuang Pariuak )
Gained nation wide popularity, Elly Kasim returned from the Jakarta studios back to her homeland Minangkabau. She went local, but still high rated by many. So the record is one hundred procent Minang, unlike the older recordings which often had a mixed content.
I can read som Minangkabau text, but listening to the songs becomes difficult for me. So the first song "Anak Salapan" would probably mean - 8 children - . "Tanjuang Periuak" is about the scenic eauty of her region, "Kue Mankuak" must be that dlightful spongy cake, also well known in other regions as Kue Mangkok, mor I cannot translate ecept "Sopir Auto" - the driver of a car".
The nicest songs are the number 1, 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 12 from this playlist IHU ( in my humble opinion )
Nuskan Syarif the bandleader can be heard doing a song, and also songs by Eva Noerdin, a new singer. The record is from approx. 1974
