About
This is an arrangement for Javanese gamelan of a song by a British musician made famous in Indonesia by its use in a Sony ad featuring the Filipino singer, Maribeth, in 1993. Subsequently a major hit in Indonesia, it has been covered by many singers in different musical style and languages, including the kroncong diva Waldjinah, who sang this with us in the Yogyakarta festival performance, in Javanese.
