REMACO RL 018
ERNIE DJOHAN
"La Novia"
Band: Kwintet Mus Mustafa
Conductor: M. Mustafa
An early Ernie Djohan recording, from approx. 1965.
The designer of the cover did some artwork by placing the head of the artist on someone else's torso.
It is the first one on the Remaco Label, before that are recordings made in Singapore and/or Malaysia, on those early recordings she developed a crooner voice,
I saw Ernie on Dutch TV, in Nederland, with "Only for a song" in a populair TV show hosted by Willem Duys.
she was visiting Europe back then, don't know of it was in 1968 or 1969.
On this record:
"Burung Merpati": - Pigeon -
"Daar Bij De Rivier": - At the river - Dutch ( by Anneke Grohnloh ) but has French origins: "Pres de ma riviere"
"Senja Berlagu": - A song at sunset -
"Terunaku": - My young hero - In content like like the independence war songs, she hopes her friend, defending the country will be save.
"Kudengar Suaramu": - I hear your voice -
"La Novia": -The wedding - From Italy.
"Hadiah Untukku": - A gift for me -
"Selamat Berjoang Kasih": - A good ( safe ) campaign, my love - Another song in which she hopes for a safe return for her beloved hero, who is on a military mission far away. ( Maybe these songs were from the time of "Konfrontasi" )
The songs she made a breakthrough are on two succeeding records also by Remaco industries.
