The Tielman Brothers - Maria/Marabunta
The Tielman Brothers are the best known Indo-rock band there is.
These brothers absolutely rocked bigtime in de sixties!
In this video you see them going wild on stage. They had such a great energy it makes me wish I was there in the crowd.

I could write all there is to know about them, or Indo-rock in general, in this post but I'm not going to.
If you want to know more about The Tielman Brothers you can find a lot of info on Andy Tielman's wiki page,
this website has a good overview of their discography
and a bit about indo-rock here.
This 7" is from their heydays.
On the a-side is a cover of Maria, the West Side Story ballad.
On the b-side is Marabunta, an awesome Indo-rock tune.
Unfortunately I don't have the original sleeve, but I am sure you can get it from discogs or one of the other websites I linked to:)
Enjoy!

Tempo Tropica - Gado Gado / Rangkaian Melati
The second post of today is a band called Tempo Tropica.
The song Gado Gado is (ofcourse) about the traditional dish Gado Gado, and which ingredients are in it:)
It's a sort of Hawaiian version of the old Goody Goody song, so that makes it pretty catchy.
For me it usually ends up wanting to eat Gado Gado or at least something with peanutsaus.
Rangkaian Melati is your typical nostalgia song.
(Half way through the song they sing the same lyrics in Dutch)
Like the Tong Tong 7inch I've upload both sides on youtube some years ago:
Gado Gado
Rangkaian Melati
If you are interested in the mp3's:
Tempo Tropica
Enjoy the music!
And perhaps see you on facebook soooon

Tong Tong 0001
Hello!
Today I will be posting two 7inches, "mini elpeetjes" ;)
The first one is released by the Tong Tong Foundation. It was their first record and I think they were trying something new and modern.
They made an excellent choice in my opinion.
Side a is a take on the traditional song Terang Boelan. (you can find more information about the song on wikipedia)
I love this version! It's a very up-tempo and cheerful tune.
Side b is the story of Sleeping Beauty told in Dutch-Indonesian.
It's been told with such passion, even though you might not understand a word, it is fun to listen to. (sometimes it even looks like he's saying words backwards)
On the backside of the sleeve is all the info in Dutch about the release.
I have to say that I am very proud of having this record.
It was one of the first Dutch-Indonesian related records i bought and it's still my favourite.
I've posted both sides about 2 years ago on youtube
Terang Boelan
Doornroosje op zijn Indisch
(I don't know why the Sleeping Beauty story got a thumb down:(

Two Faces - Harry S. Is Harjanto - IML-001
Hello everybody!
Welcome to my blog.
Here I will be posting music I have found over the years that are Dutch-Indonesian related.
Sometimes when I go to fleamarkets or thrift shops and whatnots I find records that interest me because of my dutch-indonesian roots (and got a nice cover).
My first post is the band called Two Faces.
I don't know much about this band other than they look rad on the backside of the sleeve.
The music is nice and fuzzy because of the lo-fi recording and it's pretty funky every now and then.
