Emillia Contessa - Kroncong

Kroncong music is very old and of mixed origin.
In the seventies already the music was considered mostly for older people who lived quietly in provincial towns
But from time to time newer groups also used this style for their songs.
On this record: modernised versions. The original kroncong sounding more ancient. Instead of electric guitars: the kroncong guitar, violins and flutes were used.
I think this record is from 1974 or maybe 1975.
Maybe one of the last records. Maybe produced in Singapore.
The big companies like Remaco already stopped producing records and made casettes only.
Band: D'Lloyd's Conductor: Bartje Van Houten.
