KELUARGA KESENIAN DAERAH DJAWA TIMUR STUDIO SURABAJA

Here's a very interesting one, klenengan gending music from Surabaya in East-Java and it has a cover from the song Gendjer Gendjer on it. Some of you probably know the story already but I'll tell it again. In the early 60's two records came out with versions of this song. Lilis Suryani's "Lilis.... Ia Tetap Diatas!!" and Jack Lesmana's album "Mari Bersuka Ria" with Orkes Lenso that had Bing Slamet's version of the song on it. Both these albums were banned under the Suharto dictatorship, just having these albums could land you in jail for a long time, heavy torture very probable.... This was because Gerwani, the female wing of the Indonesian Communist Party, the PKI, used to play that song, Gendjer Gendjer, at their meetings.... The song itself has no political message at all, it's about a poor woman eating water spinach (gendjer) and bringing some to the market to sell... The song's composer, Mohamed Arif, was among the hundreds of thousands murdered when the Suharto regime took over in 1965.... I imagine this record must've been banned too.... GET IT HERE Enjoy!
