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
