ELLYA KHADAM

Band: O.M. "El Sitara"

Conductor: Ellya Khadam.

Music from other countries surely contributed to the Indonesian populair music.

In many cases elements from aboad were imported, altered, mixed and blended

with Indonesian sounds resulting in very original completely new pieces of work.

Sometimes the input is much closer to the output, like in this recording.

Its almost sounding like Indian music with only the lyrics in Indonesian.

This genre is mostly classified belonging to the "Melayu" musical style.

Maybe originating from the popularity of the Indian film.

Many cinemas released these movies with their colourful stories and singing.

One of this cinemas was "Rivoli" on Jln. Kramat, Jakarta, do not know it still exists.

This cinema was specialized in Indian films, no other genre was showed.

Date of this record approx. 1974.

The record-sleeve is from Remaco, but the contents described are the same.

"Old Jakarta In Krontjong"

Band: Orkes "Tetap Segar"

Conductor: R. Pirngadi.

This is the one aquired in Amsterdam, on a street-market.

A Dutch record-label, with other releases of Indonesian music.

These songs can be found in many versions, with various lyrics

depending on the mood of the singer.

Some being not Kroncong by origin, but arranged in Kroncong style.

R. Pirngadi made a kind of " Jakarta-Opera " and transformed folk songs which usually are accompanied by just a flute, a violin and a gong, into orchestral works with choruses and simphonical arrangements.

The song "Jali Jali" is on this record is very orchestral

"Dayung Sampan" a sweet simple song, well known in many languages of Southeast Asia.

The peculiar voice of Sajekti can be heard.

In good Kroncong music its the singer who leads, the orchestra

follows, enlacing the voice of the artist in a gentle manner.

The song "Kelap Kelip" = "flickering lights"

An interesting phenomena can be witnessed in some tropical parts of South East Asia:

At night miriads of firebugs gather in trees. These light-emitting creatures light up and go out, simultaneously and synchronized. The trees become the stage for a natural spectacle.

The effect can be hypnotizing if one is looking too long at it.

This feature is also called "Kelap Kelip" in some regions. In the song however it is about the flickering lights of the city.
