Dangduters' opinion for evolving private car numbers in United Kingdom

The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there 
may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. 


Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and 
international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. 


To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Private cars were luxurious goods when it was firstly introduced.  Not many people can purchase cars. However, price for a private car has continued to decline for decades. Since it provide comfortability, many people began their preferences to use private car. Increasing car numbers need to control by alternative transport forms as well as international laws. I agree that  a large number of cars need to control to minimise their negative impacts.

Advocates for private car prefer self regulatory basis amidst of evolving car numbers. In their opinion, from consumer perspective, increasing number of car raise consumer access to receive comfortable transportation. Furthermore, evolving car sales can increase employment opportunities.

Nevertheless, those advocate opinions can be invalid if it is compared to their disadvantages. While the private car can provide comfortability to its customers,  evolving car numbers can make a traffic worse. Beside, large number of cars produce pollution that has a negative effects to the public health. Rather than depending on private cars, innovative policy to accomodate comfortable transportation modes should be initiated. The policy makers are responsible to make comfortable public transportation to discourage people on using private cars. Beside, private car existence in the road can be effectively shrinked by imposing international laws to limit number of cars.

In brief, I agree that number of cars should be limited. It is the time to stop evolving number of private cars existing in the road.

Dangdut for my 'ojek' fellows

In the morning, as usual, I waited my motorcycle taxi driver (ojex) to escort me from Cikarang terminal to my workplace.  He made conversation with me while he ride his favourite motorcycle.

As a motorcycle taxi driver, he shared his disappointment losing a bet with his friend for the champions league matches. He decided to bet Barcelona  to win against Chelsea. Unfortunately, he had a bad luck in the occasion since Barcelona lost 0-1 with Chelsea.

In the day, he had to work harder to get larger revenues to pay his debt for a bet and to fullfill his daily living. How sad you were my ojex fellows.  Hopefully, you did not go further for a wild racing to express your dissappointment. Instead, it is very good to hear dangdut music called 'Barcelona'. Here is the song.

Dangdut should not be undermined

Dangdut's music is often underestimated by many people. Those kind of people always claim dangdut is just silly music. They feel itchy to be a dangdut fans. Sometime, when dangdut is on their radio channels, they will change to other radio stations.

How sad is dangdut development in Indonesia. The music album has been commonly bargained with low price. Beside, many of great albums are often pirated. Rather than to become a dangdut mucisian, Many young boys are keen to follow western musicians styles as well as want to become similar to the singers in the future. Nevertheless, dangdut is not favour in the younger people hearts.

Dangdut should not be undermined. Every dangdut fans should not shame to show their preference to dangdut music. They should show that they can rock with dangdut. They can dance above common musics costums. They can deeply feel enjoy with listening dangdut.

Dangdut music to be promoted to UNESCO heritage list

An Indonesian official confirmed on Saturday that dangdut music is one step closer to being promoted to the heritage list of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Education and Culture Deputy Minister for Cultural Affairs Wiendu Nuryanti said that the dangdut community was currently in the process of completing the requirements, kompas.com reported.

She added that there are some documents needing to be completed before the government could officially propose the idea to the UN body.

“Several dangdut singers including ‘King of Dangdut’ Rhoma Irama, his son Ridho Rhoma and female singer Ikke Nurjanah are working very hard to prepare everything in the hope of dangdut being included in the list,” she told reporters before opening a national seminar at March 11 University (UNS) in Surakarta, Central Java.

A mixture of Indian music and pop music, dangdut has risen to prominence as one of the most popular musical genres in the country from the 1970s until now.

Kompas.com also reported that Papuan noken bags have also been nominated for inclusion in the list, which will be decided in November at UNESCO’s annual meeting.

Last year, UNESCO officially recognized the traditional Saman dance of Aceh as part of world heritage at the annual meeting held in Bali. (asa)

DO (Dangdut Origins)

This night, faced with a sleep difficulty, I spend a time to browse any information on the internet. Unexpectedly, I am astonished to an article about dangdut's origin (online article:  http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangdut).

The music began its root from from Malay musics in 1940. In 1960, Indian and Arab musics influenced significantly to Dangdut musics. In 1970, western music influx influenced a modern dangdut musics. 

To some people, dangdut has been undermined because of odds tone. Nonetheless, Dangdut has been a favourite musics especially to many local villagers. Dangdut can be a sound tool campaigns to voice environment concerns. Dangdut can potentially be a good tools to communicate indonesian culture to overseas. 

Accordingly, to other people, dangdut can stimulate a dancing to release their stress. Hopefully, in the future, larger young Indonesians can show a great appreciation for dangdut music existence in Indonesia.

Bahasa Gaul Lokal

Buat para Pedangdut mania,

Saat ini rasanya musyik dangdut sudah mencapai degradasi karena harga BBM semakin mengalami peningkatan pesat. Oleh karenanya, mari kita menyimak bahasa gaul masyarakat lokal yang juga mencintai dangdut. Baru-baru ini, saya disuguhi bahasa baru ketika duduk dalam sebuah angkutan umum. Berikut kata-katanya:
1. Batangan: tetap
2. Carli: carian orang lain (tidak tetap)
3. Sela: kesempatan
4. Mainkan: bahasa ini sering dipake untuk memulai sebuah aksi tertentu
5. Sengkle: Itu berarti ada yang tidak normal
6. Bogel: pendek tapi gede
7. A plus: dalam bahasa angkutan berarti memulai sesuatu yang baru
8. Miring: itu artinya posisi dalam keadaan tidak normal

Memang banyak bermacem-macem bahasa digunakan untuk pergaulan lokal. Kalau dikata, negara Indonesia ini sebenarnya mempunyai pariasi bahasa. Kadang kala tuh, bahasanya buat kita terkejut juga. Dengan ragamnya bahasa, mungkin dangdut bisa dikata bahasanya nanti gaul. Dahulu saja ada sebuah lagu dangdut yang make bahasa 'tauu'...ini versian lagunya....'Mas Joko...tauu'. Mungkin penyanyinya terngiang kali ya ama temennya yang suka makan gorengan 'tauu'. Memang ditengah kenaikan BBM, jaman sudah 'tauu'

Wali Song: I am not 'Bang Tojib'

This song might a form for responding to previous dangdut song 'Bang Tojib'. The difference is that the singers claim that the husband in the song is not 'Bang Toyib'. In dangdut folklore, 'Bang Toyib' is described as husband living her wive for a long time. In Wali band song, although the husband has been busy to work leaving his wife, but he will come to house. He asks a patient from his wife to waiting for his arrival to the house.

A piece of (translated) lyrics can be written as follows:

.....Honey...I am not Bang Toyib....Be patient....I will come home....because I am not Bang toyib....


My respond towards this lyrics: Emberrrr.......ha...ha.....ha.....

Dangdut's: Tidak semua laki2 buaya darat

 'Tidak semua laki2 bersalah padamu....' itulah sepenggal lagu dari leganda dangdut senior Pak Basofi S. Senior musikus dangdut yang sekarang menjadi pejabat teras di Indonesia sangat kreatif memadukan antara gendang sama seruling. Irama musik cukup halus seperti gula halus di halusin sehalus-halusnya. Mantep tenan musiknya.

Lagu ini menjadi momentum dalam menepis pepatah yang menyatakan bahwa lelaki di cap sebagai buaya darat. Ternyata, si penyanyi membuat lirik manis dengan mengatakan ada laki-laki yang tidak buaya darat lho.

Musik si om ini memang enak kalo didengarkan jam istirahat. Yang lebih enak lagi kalo sambil makan tusaur (ketupat sayur). Itu ketupat sayur juga bisa goyang ngocok makanan di perut mendengar lagu dut nyanyian si Om. Komen terakhir ayo tarik aja gan's. Siap pentas....dengan gendang antik.....

Dangdut bombastis 2012

Ternyata lagu trio macan telah dimodip secara kreatif sama dangduters. Videonya menyajikan desain visual warna warni Bahkan ada yang menyajikan video 'kucing garong' dengan teletubbies.

Referensi video youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBS8zKcwHCw

Pada video tag-an di atas ada teletubbies warna warni. Ada yang kuning, merah, hijau ama biru (kaya balon :D>). Seperti biasa si boneka saling menabrak perut. Namun, intro langsung masuk nyang lagu dangdut-nya. Lagu ini cocok sekali bagi mereka yang suka hobi balapan. 

Lagu ini memberikan dorongan untuk nge-jos waktu mengendarai mobil balapan sport. Namun demikian, lagu ini juga menghilangkan ngantuk bagi pengendara biasa, karena nuansa remik dangdut. Kalo dikasih bas stereo, lagu ini bisa menggelegar. 

Lirik lagu RT Lima RW Tiga

Ini saya mau share lirik lagu cici F:


RT lima RW tiga
Sepuluh nomor rumahku
Jalannya Jalan Cinta

Naik saja bis kota
Jurusan kota Intan
Kalau kamu tak keliru
Pasti bisa kan bertemu

RT lima RW tiga
Sepuluh nomor rumahku
Jalannya Jalan Cinta

Kalau boleh kutau
Apa maksud hatimu
Ingin tau rumahku
Apa apa denganku

Kalau benar kutunggu
Juga orang tuaku
Tapi katakan dulu
Apa apa denganku

Hai hai katakan maksudku
Ingin aku meminangmu

Rhoma Irama si raja dangdut 'fenomenal'

Bung Roma adalah raja dangdut Indonesia. Ciri khasnya Bang Roma: gitar buntung, rambut gondrong setengah kimbal, kalo nyanyi goyang belakang depan khas roker. Dia adalah roker dangdut Indonesia yang cukup fenomenal. Lagunya yang agak lumayan agak ngerok judulnya 'stres'. Dia adalah bintang dangdut di era orde baru (90-an)

Lagunya Bang Roma sering saya denger waktu saya makan warteg deket kampus dulu di depok. Berhubung om warteg punya hit yang lama, saya koleksi hit yang baru, akhirnya kita barteran kaset. Karena sama-sama suka denger BR (bang roma), om warteg baek hati dia sering memberikan saya diskon makan siang di warteg. Belakangan, saya bertemu dengan temen kantor yang suka lagu dangdut juga. Abis tidur siang, si Om biasanya masang lagu ona sutra nyang judulnya Barcelona (Si om sangat khas dengan celana pendeknya...hi..hi...hi....)

Lagu tren Roma:
1. Stress
2. Mirasantika
3. Lari Pagi
