Aneka Pop Indonesia - Cassette

Cassette "Aneka Pop Indonesia"
On the frontcover from left to right and top to below:
Ernie Djohan, Bob Tutupoli, A. Riyanto, Tetty Kadi.
A "poor man's" edition maybe because there are only 11 songs on it, whilst
in fact a normal cassette could easily contain 24 songs.
The songs:
"Lupakan Masa Lalu" vocalized by A. Riyanto who mostly composed songs for others..
"Keagungan Tuhan": The solemn song the praises the greatness of the Almighty, on another playlists on this blog another version by Titiek Sandhora can be found.
"Why Do You Love Me" Bob Tutupoly adapts to a more international style of singing.
"Pacar" by Iin. Assume its from the mid 1970's. I have another cassette with the singer Bimbo and Iin.
"Mutiara Dari Selatan" just a nice song don't know more about the singer.
"Angin" by Ernie Djohan from a later period. A strange thing is she sings with a higher voice than on her first records, back then the crooner girl.
"Sayang" by Sam/Andre/Bartje Van Houten,
the same song can be heard from Wiwiek Abidin on another blogpost.
"Permata Hati" Tetty Kadi, not exciting, just a nice song,
"Rajah Bodoh" This funny song I have also on another cassette, maybe with a better sound quality.

Titiek Sandhora - Mutiara MLL040

MUTIARA MLL 040
TITIEK SANDHORA
"Djangan Ngintip"
Band: Empat Nada
Conductors: Janwar-Hasanudin / A. Riyanto.
The design of the front cover is very different from the backside.
I have the same record also on the "Globe-Record" label where the red green backside
is also used as front side.
Strangely enough some songs mentioned on the cover are not on the record.
Even the song "Jangan Ngintip" ( Don't Peek ) which is the title of the whole album.
Its listed on the cover but not on the record itself.
.

"Manuk Podang" is Javanese,
"Bila Menjadi Gadis Remaja" and "Di Tepi Danau Toba" sounding like a song from the Mandarin genre, maybe even from Japan.
"Tang Ting Tang Ting" is the sound of a street vendor, each seller having its own sound, ringing a bell or knocking on a piece of wood or bamboo.
The record is from 1970 the Titiek Sandhora & Muchsin finest year: about 10-15 Lp albums were produced then, dont know the exact number. The genuine albums from 1969-1971 are always the ones labeled "Remaco" and "Mutiara" , so the "Globe-Record" is a kind of outlet-production or derivate. After 1972 new songs were originally recorded on other labels.
Titiek Sandhora and Muchsin were not directly under contract with Remaco, but paid by 2 rich persons, one named Ang Ka Loang from Surabaya. They bought the all Titiek Sandhora records made by Remaco and took all the risk for the sales. Maybe Mutiara was their private label.

" Parade Kota Kembang " Upit Sarimanah and others - Mesra LP10

"Parade Kota Kembang" in wich you can hear various artists from the Sunda Region. ( Bandung is the center ) Some songs like: "Dicandung"
"Kabale Nyuntyung" "Purnama" and "Jeruk Manis" sounding genuine Sundanese, The other remaining songs more like regular songs from that period ( 1966 )
MESRA Records LP 10

UPIT SARIMANAH,
AJI SATRIANAH,
FENTY EFFENDI,
ETTY BARDJAH,
NENNY TRIANA,
DINAR ADAM & SARIP

"Parada Kota Kembang"

Bands:
"Melodi Ria" - Conductor: Rachman A.
"Gita Remadja" - Conductor: Iskandar.

Genre partly Sundanese.
Year: 1966.

On the cover: "Parade Kota Kembang" Kota Kembang = Flower City, the nickname of Bandung, the capital of West Java, in this province the Sundanese language and cultural identity prevails.

The record is in a bad state, I think the number 2 worst from my collection. So be prepared, although I cleaned it with crackle removing software.

Upit Sarimanah, Fenty Effendi, Etty Bardjah and Nenny Triana, are known from other recordings ( from my knowledge ) from the last 2 mentioned artists there are playlists on this blog.
Many songs composed by Kosaman Djaja, a name to remember, another founder of Sundanese modern music is Mang Koko.
Her under a review of the songs.
"Dicandung" Nice exemple of Sunda modern Pop from the sixties, typical is the complicated intro of the song. a nice one, like it.
"Potret Kekasihku" A picture of my loved one - Just a sentimental song, not typical Sundanese.
"Kabale Nyuntyung" a duet in moderate Sunda modern.
"Purnama" - Full moon- in classical way.
"Adikku lahir" - My newborn brother or sister - Not typical sundanes, just a song. This is from a very damaged track from the LP
"Cikapundung" is played in "Kroncong" style.
"Menunggu" - Waiting - Nice solid voice by the singer.
"Ketud" Another modern song by Nenny Triana,
"Jangan Menangis" - Don't cry - It is not Sundanese in style, just a song, could be from anywhere.
"Jeruk Manis" - Sweet Citron - Upit Sarimanah is mostly maintaining the classical Sundanese style.
"Peupendeuyan Leuweung" by Aji Satrianah. Another nice song, good voice, a bit on the low scale, like Tuty Subardjo and Anna Mathovani.
"Galeundreung" by Dianar Adam. More ore less done in the old fashioned way of singing from the fifties.

Dicandung - ( Kosaman Djaja )                  Etty Bardjah

A record produced in Nederland

                                        
Fontana 6455009 approx. 1968
This is one of a few records I bought not second-hand but new from a record shop in Nederland.
Record companies Philips and Fontana were already active in Singapore and/or Malaysia.
They recorded songs from many Indonesian artists. Probably there was a also connection by the Indonesian record company Remaco ( Eugene Tan ) who had their matrices made in Singapore from the master tapes shipped from Jakarta.

This record is made for people back in Nederland, with songs already in stock from earlier records.
So it is a kind of selection in wide array.
Quite a lot of traditionals, kroncong and instrumentals on this record.

Bubuy Bulan: A Sundanese Monument composed by Benny Corda.
He was from a group of Jazz Musicians from the Philippines.
They came to Bandung in 1925 and played mostly for a Dutch audience,
who then began to appreciate Jazz music. The singer Titiek Puspa ( born 1937 ) was known as a songwriter also.

"Aku Jadi Direktur" ( Zainal Arifin )    - Alfian
- If I were a director" - Funny song, there are Dutch words in it, from the time the upper-middle class still used it now and then.
"Bandar Jakarta"  - The Steps
- Jakarta Harbour - in Kroncong style.
"Terkenang Kenang" - ( George De Fretes ) - Ivo Nilakreshna
- Remembering - also in Kroncong style
"Dondong Opo Salak" - Aida Mustafa
- A traditional in Javanese language. When singing traditionals or Kroncong those artists had to obey certain rules for these songs, not fully throwing in their own style.
"Nona Manis"- Salina 
- Sweet Girl - in electronic Kroncong, the band Salina similar in sound with band The Steps.
"Waktu Fajar" ( P.D.) - Orkes R. Maroeti
- At sunset - Kroncong again.
"Tannase" ( J.F.R. Pattirane ) - Yanti Bersaudara
- a song from the Moluccas.
"Teungteuingeun" ( Kosaman Djaja ) - Diah Iskandar
- a Sundanese song.
"Kisah Cinta" ( A. Rachman ) - Isnarti
-Love story -
"Lain Dulu Lain Sekarang" - The Steps
- Old times differ from the present - Another instrumental
"Kicir Kicir" - Salina
 - Instrumental, reminding old music from Jakarta
"Pantai Pelabuhan Ratu" ( Zainal Arifin ) - Alfian
- The beach of Pelabuhan Ratu - This beach is on Java's south coast.
"Sapu Tangan" - Han Wen
-Handkerchief- By Han Wen, a rather unknown name

Ernie Djohan - Remaco RLL169

REMACO RLL 169
Band: Empat Nada.

These songs have a different mood than earlier recordings of Ernie Djohan.

"Pelangi" is the only song which has the old qualities.

Titiek Sandhora & Muchsin Alatas - Mutiara ML002

MUTIARA ML002
TITIEK SANDHORA & MUCHSIN ALATAS
"Relakan Daku Pergi"
Band: Empat Nada
Conductors: Jadin / A. Riyanto

Her third album, the first in duet with Muchsin.
4 songs are cover-versions of existing songs.
Relakan Daku Pergi = "Please Release Me"
Aminah = "O Mein Papa"
I Love You = ? , maybe a song by Skeeter Davis.
Naik Delman = From the "Mandarin" genre or even more probably: from Japan.
The 2 songs I like the most:
"Tak Ingin Berpisah" ( "Don't Want To Part" ) Composer: Harrry Santosa ( on later recordings mentioned as: Harry Toos )
and "Siapa Itu" (" Who Is That")
The record is from 1968
P.S. When hearing "Siapa itu" I discovered an irregularity at the end of the the song, caused by a dameged section of this record.

Relakan Daku Pergi                          
Seminggu Berpisah - ( A. Riyanto )

This record dates back from 1969
A great variety of songs.  The record is damaged.
"Pantai Natsepa" ( Natsepa Beach )is about a populair beach resort near Ambon-city and refers to the Moluccan ancestry of the two singers who were already active since 1962.
"Dansa Tali" ( Rope dance ) is also from the Moluccan region.

Four songs in foreign languages: Among them two songs in Dutch ( Nederland ) language:
"Schoon ver van jou" ( "Though far from you" ) is created in Indonesia, A kind of Dutch kroncong, long ago, almost unknown in Nederland.
"Ik voelde dat jij niet kon wachten op mij" ( I felt you could no longer wait for me ) was originally composed in 1963. The singer is: Nelly Wijsbek.

"Sampai Disini" is a very fine song, almost another sub genre, vocalized in close harmony, like the group Yanti Bersaudara did also.

There are only five songs newly composed for this occasion:
"Cinta Terachir" ( Last Love )
"Pura Pura" ( Make Believe )
"Sampai Disini" ( Till Here )
''Melati Idamanku" ( Melati flower I am longong for ) - the song is executed in the "Melayu" manner.

Mus Mulyadi, Wiwiek Abidin - Indra AKL103

NDRA AKL 103
WIWIEK ABIDIN, MUS MULYADI,
RIFA HADIJAH, ZAKARYA
"Senyumlah Sayang"
Band "Pancaran Muda"
Conductor: Zakarya.
Songs in Melayu style.
Its on the INDRA label with its strong glossy covers and a little too small hole in the record itself making it troublesome to get it loose from the record player.
Only a portrait of Mus Mulyadi, not the other singers, maybe because he often appeared on the Indra label. And he was well known.
On the cover its stated "Mus Mulyadi and Wiwiek Abidin" , but there are only 3 songs by Wiwiek Abidin, which is a little disappointing because I like her voice, its full with expression and emotion, yet powerful and not too weak or mellow."Termenung" is composed by the singer
Ellya Khadam, later known as Ellya Harris.

The first song on this record is the tragical "Ratapan Anak Tiri" ( A stepchild's lament ) by Mus Mulyadi.
Mazef has this song a many versions already, if you want to hear a very expressionistic or even surrealistic one: liste to the version by A. Rafiq version by A Rafiq.
The other singer on this playlist is Rifa Hadijah who is a little unknown only to by found just one another posting on this blog
Zakarya the composer also used his singing technique in the song "Kasihku Kembali" this fact happened more than once composers or bandleaders who now and then also acted as vocalists and could sing their own compositions.
I think this record is from 1973

Ratapan Anak Tiri - ( M. Mashabi )             Mus Mulyadi

Tetty Kadi - Cassette

TETTY KADI
Band: The Favourites
Conductor: A. Riyanto.

Tetty Kadi really put more steam on it, just listen to "Lambang Asmara" Other songs are very original "Asmara" has a sort of Brazillian atmosphere. "Oh Angin" is executed in sweet kroncong style. Do not know the names of the composers, but maybe its from the modern ones like Riyanto, Harry Toos ( Harry Santosa ) and Is Haryanto.
Riyanto was co-director of the Band Empat Nada together with Janwar and Hasanuddin.
But acompanying Tetty Kadi he was always leading his private band: The Favourites.
This is a double cassette, the Hetty Koes Endang part is on side 2 which is already on this blog.
The word "Melayu" is blackened out on the Tetty Kadi part, mistakenly they printed "Pop Melayu''
this aplies only with the Hetty Koes Endang part on side 2
