I like the way the singer sing the kroncong songs. The right expression of the melody, tone and clarity. The band, despite playing modern instruments succeeded in bringing out the kroncong feel to the songs.

I think she sings the song ‘Bandung Selatan Diwaktu Malam’ (below)  very well.

Also ‘Bunga Anggerik’

and ‘Bandar Jakarta’

plus a good rendition of ‘Rangkaian Melati’

and ‘Mutiara’

Telaga Biru

The song “Waktu Potong Padi” was composed by S Poniman. The earlier versions sung by The Amboina Serenaders, George de Fretes and Andy Tielman does not have a chorus. She sang the version made popular by Broery Marantika. In this version the third verse has a different melody turning it into a chorus. Hence, the lyrics is as below:

Waktu potong padi,
Ditengah sawah,
Sambil bernyanyi,
Riuh rendah.

Memotong padi,
Sambil bersuka,
Tolonglah kami,
Bersama sama.

(Chorus)
Potong padi ramai ramai di sawah,
Ani ani dikerjakan semua.
Jika sudah waktunya, Mari kita pulang ke rumah.
Potong padi ramai ramai di sawah,
Ani ani dikerjakan semua,
Bila tiba waktunya,
Mari kita pulang bersama

Compare this live version with the classic version recorded by Ming Luhulima and his Amboina Serenaders.
