Hetty Koes Endang Kroncong



On the cover of this record she is portraited as a long established diva.
Her career began in 1973 when she was about 16 years old.
Many records and even more casettes ( 40? ) with her songs were recorded.
She received many awards from song contests.
On this playlist among others the song: "Tanjung Perak" The refrain from this song sounds exactly the same as "Wij gaan naar Zandvoort" a song from Holland which means: "We go to Zandvoort" a populair beach resort 25 kilometres from Amsterdam.
The song "Kroncong Pasar Gambir" resembles the song "Sapu Lidi"
"Kroncong Galunggung" is about the eruption of the Galunggung vulcano, a great disaster.
This vulcano is situated in West-Java and consequently the song is in the Sundanese language.


This record is from 1982, produced in Malaysia.
