Retno, Alfian, S. Warno - Remaco RL014

REMACO ML 014
RETNO, ALFIAN, S. WARNO
" Sendja Di Kaimana"
Band: Zaenal Combo
Conductor: Zaenal Arifin.

Year: about 1965.

The cover is missing. The previous owner has written " 33 " on the label,
maybe as warning not to mix up wit the 78 rpm records in his collection.
This is really old stuff, populair musc, the calm genre.
The record is in bad shape, very scratched and worn out, so the only way out was to use a
de-clicking and de-scratching software named "De-Popper"

Retno's voice reminds me of hearing Sandra Sanger, In those days the girl singers had very dignified and solemn way of pronouncing the words in their songs as you can hear.

" Selamat Berpisah " - Farewell - Known also as "Berpisah Di Teras St. Carolus" sung by Lilis Surjani..
" Senja Di Kaimana " - Sunset at Kaimana -
" Kasih Ibu " - A mother's love -

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.
