Iwan Fals Dan Kopi Koleksinya

Now again raged Iwan Fals and coffee products that starred. Every day the ad visited the eye and our space. Thank God it was luck and hopefully he gets fan benefits. But please diinget, Iwan Fals advance has often promoted the coffee you know. Oooh ... so this is not the first coffee Iwan FALS? ... If no one ya mean well.

Let us dismantle and investigate more about Iwan Fals and coffees collection. 

1. If you have a collection of songs 'ghoib' alias Iwan FALS songs Iwan Fals not officially released would be familiar with the song titled 'Semar mendem' which was made in 1978 (hopefully ane nope wrong). This song tells the story about officials who make unannounced visits to monitor the markets for basic needs in order not to increase the price stable. But it turns out after it finished Sidak, rising food prices creeping up. Unlike the official official statement stating that mediated no increase in food prices. In this song Iwan FALS asked what the price of coffee, why all the prices went up quite haphazard Semar not fit at the time he announced. Apparently at that time Iwan FALS groggy when coffee prices are also high. If now? hehehe ...
  

2. Still with the song 'ghoib' Iwan Fals. There's a song called 'Son of sandalwood (Simple Lifestyle)' infonya also made in 1978. From the lyrics tells about the life of young officers whose business supported by his father in power. Then the father of officials advise people to live simply. This is contrary to the family lifestyle wallowing in wealth, they had everything including having coffee business throughout parts of the country. This has led to jealousy. Byuh ... This bath water they use coffee probably yes.
 

 3. This one song of 1981 on Teacher simple as we know named 'Umar Bakri'. This narrated honest public servants serve but the country does not appreciate his services by always cutting teacher salaries Omar Bakri. Narrated morning before leaving for school teaching, Mr. Omar said, "It's delicious coffee I think once ...". Until this moment I do not know what disruput coffee stamp pack Omar Bakri. Curious exact brand of coffee, because Mr. Bakri preman convincingly. I have not been asked to sempet Iwan Fals, Iwan mas hopefully be able to answer in the comment section below. But definitely not the coffee that he advertise now. Age was not a model like this coffee season. hehehe ...
 

 4. Then there was another coffee nyempil the song Miss Tini, one song 'ghoib' Iwan fals (unfortunately I do not have the full lyrics). Here's an excerpt FALS Iwan interview with Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine in 2007 in which there is a bit of discussion about the song Miss Tini and coffee.

    RSI: When it comes to the song Miss Tini event?
    IF: That's my alone time in 1984. At that time in Pekanbaru. I considered insulting. Soeharto and Tien Soeharto. Because I make a song and the name of the character Ms. Tini Pak Soeharto. Suharto was a truck driver, if ya Tini was a converted prostitute then open a shop selling coffee. They were both married. But Suharto work diputusin then be criminals and not go home again. Either die or remarry. Ms Tini not stand and hold a prostitute again. That's a story in my songs.
  

 5. Ever seen a movie starring Iwan Fals on in 1986?. The film is titled 'Peace We All Day' exact match with the title of one song Iwan Fals. This song tells the story of exuberant rhythmic harmony of the life of a family, where one morning Iwan FALS awoken and was greeted with a cup of coffee. There are two versions of this song. The first version of 'coffee' and the second is a version of 'coffee milk' (the term is defined chains). Two versions of this recording is also outstanding, but the version of 'coffee' on the compilation album, while the version of 'coffee milk' was an album release Sore Tugu Pancoran 1985. Which version of 'coffee' is used for the soundtrack of the film "Peace We All Day '. I do not know why there are two versions made coffee on this song, maybe Iwan FALS like both, black coffee and coffee milk. Unfortunately not coffee or coffee ginger Arab yes sir Tanto, but it was kind of coffee joy ane ... hehehe ...
 

 6. Again I found the song 'ghoib' Iwan Fals somehow made anytime. This song is by the fans titled 'Coffee Coffee Bitter Sweet'. Do not know what the original title. Is this song the story about coffee?. Not really. This song is the lyrics just berpantun just not the full story about the coffee. Section known lyrics are "hey ... hey Cirebon Africa ....".
 

 7. Unloading more collection eventually found one awesome album Iwan FALS the album's release Immortals in 1989. Here are the songs 'Girls Night', a song that tells about women and anxiety night life. In one verse lyrics written "a cup of coffee a cigarette". Iwan FALS describe coffee loyal friend is smoking. For most smokers, the best friend is the coffee. But for coffee enthusiasts do not necessarily smoke. If ente prefer coffee while doing?. If ane asiknya coffee while chasing a thief. : P
   

8. UPDATE (8/15/12). After a friend reported via the comments field below, it turns out you again soon spilled coffee from FALS Iwan song is from the album There Is No title release in 1992. There, the coffee is on track 'Print Field'. Iwan story FALS absorbed in reading the morning paper over coffee. And he read a disturbing news pikirannya.Memang right, the cool read the morning paper over coffee :).Naaah ... I think it's just a collection of Iwan Fals successful coffee I found in the barn. Loading and unloading could not anymore but why ndak met. If there is an additional collection of coffee ente Iwan Fals else please let you know ya.Back on coffee products FALS now starring Iwan, Iwan FALS is going to make a song about coffee as well as part of a promotion?. I hope yes. Given the current ad starring Iwan FALS motorcycle products made in India the other day, he also made a special order about the song titled Riding motorcycles Coklatku.

Cara Mudah Naik Angkot Menuju Kediaman Iwan Fals atau Panggung Kita

Suasana rumah Iwan Fals

Panggung Kita is a term that refers to a stage located in the backyard of the home country's well-known musician, aka Listanto Virgiawan  Iwan Fals. This means that if we were heading to the stage we, in fact we were on our way to the residence of the living legend.

The house is located in the village Iwan FALS Leuwinanggung, Cimanggis, Depok (full address: Village Leuwinanggung 19 RT.01 RW.02 Cimanggis, Depok 16 956). Beginning this area under the administration of the city of Bogor. But with the development of city planning, is now under the supervision of the administration moved to the city of Depok.

To get to the village Leuwinanggung with cheap public transport, the first friend should go is the bus terminal. Especially for friends who live in the outskirts of Jakarta, sambangilah first bus terminal in Jakarta is the easiest of the city where friends lived. As we all know there are so many inter-city bus terminal and the city of Jakarta. Pulogadung example, Block M, Lebak Bulus, Kampung Rambutan etc..One of my messages, friends must be very careful when looking at the bus terminal in the city of Jakarta. Do not suggest that we do not know the city, reasonable force is the best. Often the bully on the bench idle bus that goes to the people that they tengarai as newcomers. Apes-apesnya wallet can float. Hopefully not to happen.At the bus terminal to any friends in the city, the friends should continue to use the city bus Kampung Rambutan majors.Arriving at Kampung Rambutan bus terminal, a friend gave way to a small public transportation vehicle, a type of public transportation station wagon with the number 121, majoring in Cullinan.With 121 public transportation, the friend off at Cibubur Plaza located at the corner junction. Well, from the entrance on the side of Cibubur Plaza, the friends went on a trip with public transportation vehicles similar to the earlier route number 79 majors Leuwinanggung.When you are in the top 79 majors Leuwinanggung no public transportation, the friend may feel at ease. Left to sleep would not be lost again, because the vehicle has the last stop or base public transportation Leuwinanggung located in the village, where the residence of Iwan Fals and Stage We are.79 When public transportation was stopped at the base, my path to live within a few hundred meters away and the first T-junction, turn right. Not far away, a friend will get to the destination.When friends go there in order to watch a concert or an event held at the Stage We are, more not be confused anymore. After a lot of public transportation definitely our comrades that one goal. Staying rollicking stage we walk to his beloved.What if there were any events? It's all right, all the people who are around the base of public transportation 79 it would be happy to show the location of the house Iwan fals or Stage Kita.So, it's easy right? Kampung Rambutan Terminal as the key. I believe, when a friend was there once, would so many alternative ways that friends can make for an easier path, short or practical. But for those who have never been at all, the way the above will greatly help towards Stage We travel companions. (Us)

Giliran Bongkar (Lagu Iwan Fals dan Swami) Dijiplak

Now that was the talk among fans is a problem Iwan FALS song 'Bongkar' song by Iwan Fals dan kelompok Swami on his first album. The song was re-arranged and sung by Indian musicians with their language. And the title of the song was changed to 'Oya Oya' which is a movie soundtrack India 'Horn Ok Pleassss'.
 
The problem is the use of arrangements of the song 'Disassemble' by Indian musicians without the consent of the author of this song is Iwan Fals and the Swami also an umbrella label that Airo Records album. In other words, the song 'Disassemble' Indian musician has been plagiarized. Intro and reffrain India's version of the song is really similar to the version Iwan Fals. The difference is only found in a small section and of course the language used.

We're so again remember about the case the song 'Can not' belong Peterpan band that became 'Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai'. Peterpan song was traced out by the Indian musician and became a popular song and topped the charts for a long time in India. But according to the news story, the Musica Studio (label album Peterpan) has completed a plagiarism case is with the family.

Interestingly, the guy who sang 'Oya Oya' and 'Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai' is the same singer. She is a singer named Kay Kay India.

Observing these conditions, I got to thinking .. possible Indian musicians are doing 'revenge' because their songs are often the object of plagiarism by Indonesian musicians, especially dangdut songs? (sb - from various sources)

Iwan Fals Ada Di Video Klip Hardolino

Hardolino is the name of the music group of newcomers brought socially themed songs. They had completed her first album titled 'Wardino' with the title song titled the same. A social-themed song that tells of migrant workers homesickness. In general, the songs in the album Hardolino quite unique and easy listening, they give other colors present in Indonesia, the musical theme tend to be monotonous. Their debut album is rumored to be released in May 2009.
 
So what to do with Hardolino Iwan Fals?.Watch the video clip below Wardino song carefully, from beginning to end ...
 
video klip Wardino by Hardolino - April 2009. source: youtube

Sudah dilihat? Apa hasil pengamatan Anda dari klip tersebut?.
Yes, the first look of bamboo shacks setting instantly reminded me of the atmosphere in Leuwinanggung, the house Iwan Fals. Saung bamboo Stage We no side yard is used for monthly concerts. Second, among the personnel Hardolino I had never seen before, in the clip I saw a very familiar face is Deni Kurniawan. He is the drummer Iwan FALS & Band concert routine monthly charge Iwan Fals on Leuwinanggung. Here Deni as an additional player.So I was very surprised this clip threshold of 5 seconds. What's with those 5 seconds?. For more details, look at the above clip again from minute 2:36. There appears a man in the white shirt and jeans walking past the front of the bamboo shacks Hardolino place to sit while singing. He was running with the expression 'confused' turn towards us (the camera) on the left and continue to see in the right direction Hardolino personnel. Without stopping he continued to walk away. Although dishooting of distance is not too close, but I'm sure once that the man was Iwan Fals. And it is true, he is Iwan Fals we all know, this time he performed with military-style haircuts.Wow ..., Iwan Fals be extras in the video clip young newcomer band?. What's so great Hardolino an Indonesian music legend would be a 'spice' to the clips?. And Iwan FALS has not been seen much less be extras in the video clip the singer anyone.Here's an excerpt about Hardolino that I took from wikipedia:"Hardolino musical group from Jakarta is fronted by three brothers, Arda (acoustic guitar, bass), Dana (vocals), Wandy (electric guitar), and a friend they named Wendy (piano and keyboards). Their album, Wardino ( 2009), is a debut album that worked for about 8 months in the studio FALS Record, in the village of Leuwinanggung, Cimanggis. "FALS Record? Leuwinanggung?. I tried to browse more about this band. And a reliable source informed that they (Arda, Dana and Wandy) is the nephew of the wife of Shlomo Carlebach, Rossana, who is also the manager Iwan Fals. Oooh it turns out ...I think they've got good skill and musical colors carried to date include 'different' with Indonesian songs later. For me though without the 'sightings' Iwan FALS' in her music, they are still very likely known for its uniqueness comes with the song material. So if this is indeed the appearance of Iwan FALS as part of her personal willingness to support his nephew or any particular pressure?. What Hardolino no 'confident' with music that 'exploit' Iwan FALS as uncle only to boost his popularity?. But even then fine, let alone the opportunity is there.I remember back in the old man song sung Elpamas in the 90's (Elpamas keyboard player, Edi Daromi, now also joined the Iwan FALS & Band). When the song was outstanding and widely recognized, we only know the name Pitat Haeng as the creator of the song. Only after all this time we were informed that it Haeng Pitat name is a pseudonym of Iwan Fals. And when the media asked him directly Iwan, replied I do not want people to buy the album Elpamas because my name printed as a songwriter. The Old Man And the fact the song became popular before people realized the identity of the original author of the lyrics. Even right now there are still many who do not know that the song is a masterpiece Old Man Iwan Fals.Perhaps the current environment different from now, where the country music industry competition is so tight. And all this is an Iwan FALS right to want to be extra video clips that shootingnya Hardolino done at home, let alone the band is also still own family, of course the process is not complicated. Please help the family was reasonable.But I try to imagine if there was a new band was born and has nothing to do with Iwan Fals, then ask Iwan FALS as a sweetener in her music videos, as the focal figure, to raise the profile and sales of their songs, whether Iwan fals or its management accept? . While proposed to become a brand icon motorcycle course, Iwan Fals admitted takes a year to think. And chances are there will be two segments of his songs Hardolino listeners. Ie people who really liked the music, or people who are curious because there Iwan FALS therein.Yes .. whatever it is, I think Iwan FALS now getting serious scoring seeds of new musicians with him as the successor to one school, and it seems to start from the immediate environment. I hope someday that others also miss an opportunity like this. (SB)

Dewa Dari Leuwinanggung

Dewa Dari Leuwinanggung

Bagaimana Iwan Fals bangkit dari kerusuhan jiwa dan menjadi saksi?

LEUWINANGGUNG

is a village like most villages of Java. There were houses, schools, mosques, clinics, trees and bamboo, madrasah, and the headman's office. Leuwinanggung But unlike the other villages on the island of Java because there berumahlah a god .... name Iwan Fals.God is living in a big house. The land of 6,000 square meters. The largest part is used for a store, pavilion, an outdoor stage, and the fans of the organization's offices god named Oi. Private residence of the gods is equipped music studio, garage cars (including buses), houses, and gardens with neatly trimmed lawns.One afternoon last September, Iwan Fals Leuwinanggung tells his acquaintance with me. "In 1982 I was looking for land here, that is for investment," he said. He bought the land of record sales sustenance Bachelor launched 1981 and sold 300 thousand units. Next story, he occasionally came from Jakarta with his wife, former model Josh Rosana, look at their land and bring home the fruits of the garden.Leuwinanggung interesting because its pillars. If there are weddings, jaipongan, or death, all together. "If there is a death, visitors who come actually paid. Given money. They even owe. In my heart I thought, 'very gallant.' I feel very small. Kayak champion so. There was valor here. If they come receptions, seated, looking ahead, not reprimanded so silent. If there eating so not greedy. I dont know the first. There are foods I eat ya, "said Iwan.If you're not busy, Iwan joined salawatan every Friday night. "The language is mixed Arabic, Sundanese, Javanese. There are 20 numbers long salawatan I gather. "Salawatan for a variety Leuwinanggung village, whose land, bought the plot after plot Jakarta, and young children begin to lack of work, could be a force for the village. "The power of the mind, spiritually," said Iwan.Leuwinanggung itself is located in Bogor. Residents there everyday speak Sundanese rough. People took about an hour taxi ride from Jakarta to Leuwinanggung. Remote regions. Just after sunset, the streets deserted Leuwinanggung and rare vehicles. When my benighted August 16 at Leuwinanggung, past midnight I walk four miles to get a motorcycle.When it's about 600 fans Fals and residents Leuwinanggung Agustusan celebrate together. That's where I found many iwan key. They are stylish style FALS with long hair, faded jeans, saluted and shouted "Oi." His voice is deep, slightly hoarse. On stage, the songs sung alternately FALS, from a similar arrangement of the original, earning applause, to which the audience laughed at the applause-able as well.Who ridiculed including a young man of 30 years. His hat was red, his hair longish sepundak, dark skin, white teeth, and his name is Dawn Wijaya. Dawn of a musician born in Yogyakarta but more often singing in Cilegon. "I was touched, screamed, feeling no vocation. Able guidance of his song, "he said, referring to the song at the Fountain of Tears Not There."I really feel there is a separate wisdom for my life. I wander. (Song) is counsel in the course of my life. I reflect on who I am, "said Dawn, smiling as he tugged at the shabby clothes luriknya.Iwan FALS is not a god in the sense of Greek mythology. Probably closer to sainthood FALS musical phenomenon 1960s when the London city walls scrawled with the words, "Clapton is god (a god Clapton)." They are anonymous adore Eric Clapton, the Yardbirds blues guitarist that appeared in England in , 1963. Rolling Stone magazine called Clapton stands out because of his consistently maintaining quality standards.People who Agustusan night was no less busy with Dawn is Slamet Setyabudi, Oi security coordinator, the day-to-day work as a soldier with the rank of sergeant two of the Presidential Guard. Slamet his burly, friendly guy. He is member of Group C, which is in charge of guarding state guests. He had been guarding the Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad and East Timor President Xanana Gusmao. "Out of my office here," he said.Slamet occasionally bring his colleagues into Leuwinanggung to help security. "Soldiers who are fans of Mas Iwan is actually a lot," he said. I was thinking naughty. State of Indonesia to pay hundreds of soldiers to escort the president and vice president. They receive a salary, often went abroad, receiving training, get cool uniforms. The same soldiers guarding Iwan FALS for free!That night more than a dozen officials FALS Oi tells me. Those stories fans are shocked when they first see Fals. Many of the "crazy" by hugging, kissing hands, and wept Fals. Some come from Flores, Riau, Jambi, and so on.That night I was hoping to see the ritual. Hundreds of fans hope the god appears. But Iwan stay at home. He "feverish, exhausted" and hit suspected typhoid. This god turns ordinary people who get sick.NIGHT was also Muhammad Ma'mun. A man of interest. His appearance was calm, his hair long, and sometimes called "Father." Mamun used to work but now entrepreneurial property company, bought the building work. Ma'mun including close contacts Iwan Fals. He knows FALS family since 1985 when it began mole at a house in Jalan Barkah, Manggarai area in central Jakarta. The house belongs Suudiyah Lies, a social worker and mother of Iwan.FALS it was already married and living in Condet. "Call her Tanto," said Mamun. His full name Virgiawan Listanto. "Galang was a child, not the school, maybe four or five years. New embryo can walk, "said Mamun, referring to the son Iwan: Anarchy Signs Galang and Anisa Ancestor Basae signs.Somehow they fit. Ma'mun he was three years older than Iwan. Ma'mun was born in Solo 1958 Iwan Jakarta 1961. Maybe they have the same basic character. Both people who do not hesitate to question anything. I was impressed by their humility. When the mole, Ma'mun worked as an employee of PT Jaya Development while Iwan has become known as a singer. Their friendship continued until now. Ma'mun including one called Iwan so administrators Indonesia-The Foundation charity established and chaired Iwan himself.Ma'mun memorable experiences happened when they again read the afternoon newspaper Sinar Harapan containing photos of members of parliament fell asleep at trial. "Well, it needs to disentil To," Mamun said.Iwan menyanding Ma'mun guitar and a pen. They work for the lyrics and music. All night they worked. As a result, the song Letter to Representatives are included in the album Representatives (1987). Ma'mun proud to work with this especially when students make the song "anthem" demonstration. Until now Ma'mun regular remittances of royalty-producer and distributor Musica most albums Fals.Ma'mun was judging her as one of the leading singers of social criticism in Indonesia. Iwan using the Indonesian language, to talk about the child thief who became a thief, mass circumcision, prostitutes, corruption, the fate of teachers, and so on. May Time magazine called it "Asian Hero"-level with Jackie Chan, Xanana Gusmao, and Aung San Suu Kyi.If other artists maintain their appearance through makeup on, strange haircuts, unique costumes, or plastic surgery to beautify herself, Iwan Fals appear normal. Several times I saw Iwan wearing Shanghai, thin and soft cotton shirts, which cost $ 10 thousand a piece, while the concert. People could still see it was hysterical. Iwan may have charisma.Amir Daulay Husin, a student activist from the Foundation's 1980 flare, FALS called "prophet for his followers." In 1983, Daulay FALS busking invited to the Academy campus of Statistics. Iwan came with Josh, carrying a guitar, singing four songs, and received honoraria Rp 400 thousand. Experience of singing, which she did for many years, coached Iwan facing mass, from stage to stage, so that it knows how to govern themselves, how to adjust the sound, which is preferred, which is not preferred.Friendship Ma'mun and Iwan increase both their careers. Between Bachelor to album Between Me, You, and Your boyfriend Used in 1989, Iwan produced 13 albums with Musica. That is, almost one album every six months. It's incredible.In 1989 Iwan published album with Arena Indonesia's Gods Productions (Airo). They intend touring 100 cities. Inaugural concert February 26, 1989 in Jakarta went well but tail eleven vehicles vandalized. Why did the riots happen? To this day there has been no detailed explanation. What police are less professional? Or Arena Indonesia Production poorly prepared? Or FALS issuing sentences that provoke the masses?But the tour continues to the island of Sumatra. Afternoon of March 9, 1989, Iwan FALS Ma'mun and was in a hotel in Palembang. The next day, Iwan will perform at the concert's god. After dinner, Mamun and Iwan into the room. In front of the mirror, they talk about the concert preparations."Gayane ngene yo? (His style gini huh?) "Said Iwan, holding an acoustic guitar."Ojo ndingkluk. Rodo ndegek (Do not look down. Rather bloated), "said Mamun. Iwan also change the style of holding the guitar."Grandma rock singer ngene know! (If you like rock singer you know!) "Mamun said, pick up a guitar and give examples.Those discussions before bed. The next day, Sofyan Ali, promoter Arena Indonesia Productions, giving bad news. Palembang Police told there radiogram from Jakarta police headquarters. They prohibit FALS went on tour to avoid chaos. Though the tools are ready, the stage is set. Plans show Palembang, Padang, Jambi, Medan and Banda Aceh is prohibited. Iwan cry. "Make Iwan stage is life. He was so alive when on stage, "said Mamun.Ironically, the police banned when there is no research thoroughly why Jakarta commotion occurred. Everywhere the masses have the potential noise, the mass of football to music. This does not mean that person is prohibited from playing football or watching the music is not it? How will human culture developed that worried fuss? Are not the police get paid, even countries are held, so that culture can be developed, so that democracy can flourish?More difficult again. In Indonesia, many people are too lazy to think, a lot of lazy journalists doing reporting, and more and more people like to develop a theory of "third parties." Everywhere there is this theory. Labour banned the demonstration because the ride "third party." Students make violent due to "third parties." I learned the various newspaper reports Indonesia and saw there were three theories "third party" behind banning Eye Gods."Third Party" The first is the "mafia Glodok" which borrows the style of the police to break the record distribution Sofyan Ali style. "Mafia Glodok" is the name for the recording industry based in Glodok, Jakarta. They are mostly ethnic Chinese Indonesian businessmen managed and scant regard for art, lack of respect for musicians, but the master tape distribution. The speculation comes as Iwan FALS moved from Utrecht to the Sofyan Ali."Third parties" second is "certain tobacco industry" that lend a hand to tackle police Djarum cigarette marketing-god's main sponsor. "Third party" officials third is "certain" that are not happy with the social criticism Fals.There is no strong evidence to support all three theories. But pretty much said the three speculative reasons. Iwan was completely moved from Musica because he also worked on songs with artists Musica intimacy. "I feel grateful to have a partner Musica," said Iwan on me. The music business is also very small compared to the cigarette business. Djarum cigarette industry giants (Ghost), Sampoerna (Surabaya), Gudang Garam (Kediri), and BAT (Jakarta) is competitive but also joined in a cartel. Promotion via FALS is important but only a small part of the promotion Djarum. Djarum profits last year alone amounted to Rp 2.08 trillion, or nearly double the turnover of all the recording industry in Indonesia. Who does not like FALS officials? Djody Setiawan, business partners Sofyan Ali and one of the shareholders of PT Airo Governmental Stupa, also close to the officials. Why is no one talking to Djody?In Palembang no verification and bargain. The power of the New Order state is very strong. Instead of Iwan Fals. Protests of almost all non-profit organizations in Indonesia, the flooding villages prospective reservoirs Kedung Ombo previous month, also ignored the Suharto regime. The World Bank, which funded Kedung Ombo, did not do much to see tens of thousands of farmers fled to save property and lives. Iwan fight. He's way to Padang alone, Jambi, and others, to tell the public he could not fulfill the promise because the police order. Ma'mun returned to Jakarta to bring home appliances with eight trucks. "Clothes I take, I take home my suitcase. He only brought one outfit. "In Jakarta, the ban was also concerned about other musicians. Sawung Jabo, a musician from Barock circus community, called Iwan to express sympathy. Iwan had joined the circus performances Barock in 1986."I forget exactly. One night Iwan came to my house on Sunday Market, which is actually the house where we used to get together. Iwan offered to make an album, "Jabo said."At first Iwan, if no one suggested the name septic tank, but me and a few friends refused. Then we propose the name we choose by lottery. Having drawn the name of Swami elected, who happened to name my proposal. "It's a play on the word" husband "because they all have wives.Average Circus crew has been involved Barock Swami. Both players flute Naniel, Nanoe bass guitar player, piano player Tatas, especially drummer Inisisri a lot to give color Barock circus music. Only Jockie Suryoprayogo and Totok Tewel rather new in Circus Barock.They were working. The most spectacular song called Bento. Iwan was invited Ma'mun went to the studio where the mixing and requested comments on Bento. Ma'mun commented, "Wow, this is like a virus. It cepet nyebarnya. ""Iki piye Mas? (This was how Mas?) "Said Iwan."Charmingly. Kabeh Virus (Virus Bagus. all). "Iwan and his friends happy. They eat rice packets while chatting until morning.Bento Iwan and Naniel created. The lyrics are about a greedy and corrupt businessman. Business "slaughter anything" as long as he pleased, and to hell people hard. "Bento" itself means "stupid" in the dialect of Java Timuran. When writing Bento, Iwan had noticed a businessman, a rich and cruel, had a home real estate. Character Bento made from these entrepreneurs. "But I do not need to call (name). I do not know personally, know the distance, "he told me.

    Bento my name, home real estate

    my car a lot, abundant treasures

    people call me boss executive

    top leaders, above all, funJabo Sawung helps arrangements song, "I'm incorporating elements lead acoustic theme," he said. When circulating the market, Swami is like a virus. Unloading song also became one hit. At first, the media had to wonder if TVRI broadcast willing Swami. TVRI time it was the only television station in Indonesia. TVRI fully mastered the Suharto regime. Apparently without any privilege, Unloading appeared on March 13, 1990. It shocked many music journalists. Once again the theory of "third parties" did not sell.IN March 1990 the group Swami came to Salatiga: Sawung Jabo, Iwan Fals, Naniel, Nanoe, Inisisri, poet WS Rendra, businessmen Setiawan Djody, and so on. Salatiga a small town in central Java in the 1980s were politically quite dynamic.Much media attention to their arrival. How could I not? Djody billionaire tankers close to the Suharto family. Rendra a poet, perhaps the best in Indonesia, a number of times in custody of the New Order. Jabo musicians who often make quality experiments. Iwan itself is considered increasingly rebellious since Palembang. A unique collaboration.People who play brought Swami to Salatiga is Andy Agus Riyono U.S. or commonly abbreviated Endi Aras-a former student activist Satya Christian University in Salatiga Discourse and Film magazine journalist in Jakarta. Endi friendly person, wavy shoulder-length hair, smiling, jaunty, like music, and like to join scouting. Last July when I interviewed Andy, his appearance had not changed much, though somewhat distended stomach, married, and has its own Matamata Communications engaged in public relations and event organizer.Iwan met Andy in 1985 when he sent his colleagues in order to contact Iwan singing and lectures on campus Satya Discourse. "I was told to look to Jakarta," said Endi. Endi initially looking at Musica but no and ketemunya in Condet. Iwan mind coming to Salatiga, "I can not talk," said Iwan.Iwan recommend another ballad singer. Endi curious. Endi admirer Fals and have a complete collection of albums Fals. Andy also wrote a letter to Iwan and returned wearing handwriting. "What diomongin same thought, dipikirin faster," said Endi, explained Iwan reluctance appears in academic fora.The incident was opened comradeship Endi and Iwan. In 1989, Andy worked in film magazines. As a journalist he writes about Iwan. It is common practice among journalists Indonesian music-making friends with their sources. Endi and Iwan often-teleponan phone. "Ndi you here," said Iwan. When Endi Iwan dolan to where they can chat from noon to night. They also often ride car, chat, surround the highway. "Iwan was glad that there was someone to talk," said Endi.Endi brought books to Iwan. Diary of a Demonstrator example of Soe Hok Gie, 1960s student activist who co-arranged a demonstration of anti-President Sukarno, who died of gas poisoning in Mount Semeru in 1969.Endi also provide leaflets dark. Iwan interested because he had sympathy for the oppressed. In the 1980s, citizens of Indonesia discontent against the regime of Soeharto higher. Suharto's children grow up and get involved in the business, of the clove monopoly to the highway. The military also intensified control the lives of people here and there even though there is internal friction between the military green (Muslim) and the red and white army (nationalist).In Salatiga Endi often stay in office Geni Foundation-a nonprofit organization that involved the protest movement. Satya Discourse 1980s were also a campus that provides a place for critical thinking, partly because of the influence of liberal professors kinds Arief Budiman, a doctoral graduate of Harvard University, the brother Soe Hok Gie, who keen to talk to Marxism, the state, society, democracy, and frequently interviewed by the media. "Iwan ngefans same Arief Budiman," said Endi.Budiman close to the students, among others, by Stanley, calling a student activist whose full name is Joseph Adi Prasetyo. Close friend Andy Stanley. Budiman frequently asked Stanley, Endi, and other students joined the discussion. Andy Stanley also received a flyer dark and books. Endi transmits Fals.When Swami album out, Endi offered Swami went to Salatiga. Shoots beloved side dish arrived. "The cost of Djody all, the committee only ngurus place. We chat agendakan home Arief Budiman, "said Endi.They arrived early and held two discussions. Discussion was held on a little scale guest house owned by Satya Discourse, a legacy of the Dutch colonial house, which is spacious and magnificent. The house was used Djody and model Regina Sandi Aaron, young wife Djody. Discussions were held at home rather small Budiman while eating dinner. The house is located near the river, was built with an open concept, using bamboo, and held several head goose. Budiman inviting local scholars, among others, the pastor Broto Semedi, Stanley, and several other students for group discussions with Jakarta. I happened to be invited to participate.We talked relaxed, cross-legged, sitting mats. Arief Budiman fishing Iwan FALS to enter the world of activists. "The artist must know the politics," he said. Budiman story about Victor Jara of Chile, supporters of President Salvador Allende, who was killed when General Augusto Pinochet mengudeta socialist Allende government in 1973. Budiman know Chile well as his thesis at Harvard University about the failure of socialism Allende wear. Victor Jara a popular musician like Fals. Jara songs full of social criticism. Jara also play acoustic guitar. Jara died along with Allende.I got the impression Iwan Budiman reluctant or embarrassed to respond. Iwan was quiet. W.S. Rendra, old friend Budiman, more talkative with a theatrical style. Rendra specifically introduce us to Djody he describes as a businessman-cum-artist. Rendra dominate the conversation that night with occasional Djody addressed, and Sawung Jabo. Leila Ch. Budiman, Arief's wife, fell in love with Iwan called "good girl."One side issue they discussed was the aggravation Rendra and his friends against the tobacco industry. They are angry at the industry-which often become the main sponsor concerts-as casually pressed sponsored links on the stage. Cigarette logo mounted in the center of the stage. They abused the tobacco industry because they interfere with aesthetics. They say it is difficult to not receive sponsorship for their great contribution but do not work that way.Ironically, they are less interested in discussing the impact of smoking on young fans. Perhaps because they themselves are heavy smokers. Iwan also smokers. Local newspapers proclaim this protest. Secretly, some students see the guests Jakarta, not only cigarettes, but also marijuana.I do not want to judge. Some of my friends are also using marijuana and mediocre. I think the issue of marijuana is not about right or wrong. Marijuana similar to cigarettes. He did not turn off. Ganja different kinds of chemical drugs narcotics, esctasy, or putauw which can be fatal if the excess.Iwan admitted using marijuana since Palembang. "Out of what? Cheap, can buy everywhere, good? "Jabo no comment about marijuana. In the Swami, smoked pot gets kind of legitimacy because it was considered normal. Djody and Rendra also tried cannabis I see a little rolled."I was going kayaking (reggae singer) Bob Marley, cannabis has its own garden. Singing, marijuana, singing, marijuana. But the law prohibited, (forbidden) religion. In life, people are not drunk more than a hangover, "said Iwan.Kresnowati, a student of Satya Discourse and acquaintances Endi, so join the committee. Wati not see marijuana but was shocked to see Swami crew, including Iwan, tease and menjahili student. "Yeah ... why this?" He thought.Wati amuse themselves by arguing Iwan ordinary men. "The ordinary man who has extraordinary talent."According to his friends, is pretty wild period for Iwan Fals. Josh decided to wear the hijab Rosana. "He said the call as a Muslim. She wanted to give an example to Iwan and children to better remember the religion, "said Fidiana, keyboard player Iwang Noorsaid wife, who was friends with a family partner Iwan. Josh is also a little concerned at the effect W.S. Rendra, who is considered by Iwan teacher, but got a little loose reputation in women's affairs. Rendra was married three times. Djody also newly married Aaron password. "Iwan's good looking!" Said Wati.Evening to look forward to was coming. Swami playing in the Field Pancasila Salatiga. That evening I attended to watch and sing along, "Bento, bento, bento." I feel the spirit of resistance there and thankful Indonesia had their kind of musician. Endi probably the happiest people Salatiga night.WELCOME warm makes Swami plus Setiawan Djody interested forward again. They set up a new group with the name Cantata Takwa. Differences personnel and Cantata Takwa Swami located at WS Rendra and Djody.Djody boss once the player. Rendra wear-his verse poetry, including the poem "Testimony" of the famous, for Cantata sung Takwa. "Rendra not just make the lyrics, but it's more than that. Sometimes he is as a means of control in our creative process. Renda also who gave the title of 'Cantata Takwa.' Rendra come to color and shape are definitely on the Cantata Takwa. Especially at the time of the play, "said Jabo Sawung.Djody spend money but rather offended if deemed existence solely because of money. In 1990, Djody never let me come to his house in the area Kebagusan, East Jakarta, see Takwa Cantata rehearsal. Djody past stories on Solo when it gets a rock band guitarist. The person is flamboyant, neatly combed hair, clean skin, nice clothes. His house is huge. Huge. The family room, which overlooks the pool, changed into the training band. There was a huge painting of Djody. I suspect the maestro's work Basuki Abdullah.Djody story Harjojudanto business with Sigit, Suharto's eldest son, and Eka Widjaja from Sinar Mas group. He is also the story of interaction with General Benny Murdani, probably the second most powerful man in Indonesia after Soeharto time. Moerdani judged smart and knows the art. There is no fear in Djody story. He told me a rather personal issue about Moerdani. Business is business. Art is art. Djody loved both.But not everyone is happy with this collaboration. Some fans Fals and music journalist Iwan keiwanfalsan assess this period decreased. There is a judge Iwan more vulgar. The theory of "third party" was again used. Some blame Sawung Jabo. Iwan more poetic lyrics first. "After joining the harder Jabo, Jabo hit it like to play?" Says photographer Idon Haryana, imitating U.S. heartbeat analysis of tabloid journalists Like. Many also suspect the W.S. Rendra. Many more suspicious of Djody.Muhammad Ma'mun said, "I have to say explicitly, 'I do not like it at Mas Djody.' I convey to Iwan. Until a few years, I still say do not like. I've never once met Djody. Invited Djody but do not want to see you. "According Sawung Jabo, when Djody doubtful integrity, Iwan did not want to defend or explain, because he "did not know. '" Essentially we have to do something together, just the vote itself. What do we do with it is any good or not? "Ma'mun consider music Cantata Takwa, wearing choir, synthesizers, and other sophistication, not suitable for Iwan. "This is not progress. Known people in the aisles, in the markets, so the songs were used. Works great does not have to be that hard to merit. "Ma'mun refers Koes Plus songs and The Beatles. He called the song Imagine by John Lennon. Aransemennya simple but high value. Ma'mun found aransemennya timeless works is simple and easy to play people.Cantata album Piety Street Recording smoothly. According Jabo, Rendra involved from the initial idea. "I was involved in at the middle of the process of making the song material, prior to the start of the recording process in the studio Gin." Their signature song titled Cantata Takwa opened with dhikr. Her album was released early 1990. The cover picture Djody, Rendra, Iwan, Jabo, and Jockie Suryoprayogo. There is one sentence reads, "Setiawan dedicate Djody Takwa Cantata." It gave the impression this album "only" offerings-not Djody Rendra, not Iwan, not Jabo, not Suryoprayogo. I think this option is unwise.Takwa Cantata performances in Senayan stadium on June 23, 1990 included one the biggest music concerts ever held in Jakarta. Media gave different estimates. There is an estimated audience of 100 thousand people but there is also a 150 thousand. It's hard to know which is more accurate because the calculation method is not clear. Capacity Senayan stadium itself is around 90 thousand.But whatever the number, the audience is a lot. They use laser lights, smoke bombs, giant sound system, stage spectacular. Atmakusumah Astraatmadja, a former managing editor of the daily Indonesia Raya and now chairman of the Press Council, including one of the spectators. Eldest son of a rock climber, who joined the team in charge of saving the player Cantata Takwa when a riot. They attach ropes and could slide into center stage when there is commotion.Astraatmadja anxious look that much mass. The old man, who accompanied the four teens, go to Senayan with the help of the police. "It's a cultural resistance, not only by Iwan and his friends, but also the audience," said Astraatmadja. He assessed needs enormous courage to sing Bento.

Djody Setiawan, the businessman tankers, appear to play an electric guitar, while squealing. "I'm shocked that dare Djody Setiawan," said Astraatmadja.Endi Aras says it all financed Djody $ 1 billion more. Ma'mun responded with more caution. Iwan considered to mingle with people who are too liberal for the size of his family. Done Cantata Takwa, Iwan continued outstanding Swami II 1991. The album was less successful. Much smaller than welcome Swami. "I already told Iwan, 'Do not you say it again,'" said Mamun.Endi Aras began to enter the small circle Iwan FALS in 1994 when he was asked to become manager Iwan. Endi responsibility and essentially casual friendship. If there is a demand for concerts, Endi related to the committee, care of payments, rent equipment, and so on. Honor Iwan once the show Rp 6 million. Endi not paid regularly. If there was a job he had been given "money transport."Endi also a production manager for the Green album. Here Iwan use two keyboard players: Iwang Noorsaid and Bagoes AA They're a lot of discussion that this album is artistically good. The songs are not given the title. Only tracks 1, Song 2, Song 3, Song 4. Endi and other musicians disagree but all lost an argument with Iwan. "Let a little different," said Iwan.Endi Handoko added stress because of the harp Record producer and Adi Nugroho from buying competing Prosound master the album Green. They are a bargain. Endi report to Iwan about this bargain. Iwan even offended album bargained. "Well Ndi, master burned," said Iwan. Andy turns to the annoyance because they feel under-appreciated. Endi other day to see Iwan, who had moved to Cipanas, two hours drive from Jakarta. They finally received Prosound price of Rp 365 million, including the cover and the video clip. Endi received Rp 10 million from the budget of USD 65 million to the cost of production.Cover tapes designer Dick contrived dominant Doang green by using photographs of some young children playing jump-jump. Iwan did not want his name highlighted. He did not want the cover was a picture. According to Andy, Iwan found them equal status, eight musicians. Iwan want Iwang Noorsaid name, Bagoes AA, Cok Rampal, Jalu, Ari Ayunir, Heiri Buchaeri, Jerry Soedianto, and Iwan FALS everything printed on the cover. Doang Dick, also a fan of Iwan, agreed to the proposal. Consequently, the names of musicians printed in a small font. Endi disagree and worry less cassettes sold.I asked Andy, if you want equal Iwan, how to divide their honorarium? Andy smiled and said Iwan "cheating" because the fees musician Rp 300 million divided in two: 40 percent and 60 percent Iwan remaining seven musicians. That is, Iwan to USD 120 million while others may average USD 25 million.During the work on the Green, Iwan stop mengganja, stop smoking, and start praying. The days in Cipanas used for "rehabilitation." Iwan knew him could "long song." Body bump-bump, labile emotions. Andy says this period of "clean community" for several players, including Noorsaid and Heiri Buchaeri, diligent prayer and simple life. Kresnowati Green said there was also a musician who "heavy cannabis users."Iwan changes also alter Karno, a loyal assistant, who used to help Iwan for private affairs, began to organize a musical instrument to prepare hand-rolled marijuana. "Karno more artists from Iwan. He's not married, probably because it did not can-can, and a fans Iwan, "said Wati.Green was launched in 1992. Not too exploded in the market. Endi disappointed, feeling under-appreciated. Andy quit his job. "Andy had a very admiration at Iwan. But it was also a disappointment. Ngatur he was involved, "said Kresnowati.WHEN Galang was born on January 1, 1982 the father, who mixed feelings for the first time felt himself to be a father-feel should be responsible, to feel loved, surprised, happy, proud to have offspring, and so on-to create a song titled Anarchy Signs Galang. The song is quite famous and enter the album Opinion (1982).Galang grew so intelligent boy. Endi Aras play a lot of shooting with Galang. Muhammad Ma'mun had a fictitious character that often she told Galang. His name is "Gringgrong"-a hero "like Tarzan" who can beat Tiger, horseback riding, and defeat the enemy. Each time Ma'mun came to stay, the story billed Gringgong Galang. In Condet there are only two rooms, "If I nginep, Galang sleep at his father," said Mamun.As teenagers, Ma'mun see Galang nice body, shaped. Galang not a rah-rah kind of kid. When asked for the most money paid for a taxi to go to school. "To buy buy he did not have any money," said Iwan. Galang also great determination. One time Galang, who can not drive and do not have a driver's license, be able to drive a car. The solution? Galang once drove from Jakarta to Bali!But violence Galang one day make Iwan hands. He came to Ma'mun, "Mas how ya, Galang not want to go back to school?""Keep wants what?""Embuh, play music or open a shop."Galang decided to get out of junior development in Bintaro Jaya, which is located near the house and includes one high school in Jakarta. Iwan often move house and then living in Bintaro. Leuwinanggung until he had moved 12 times. Galang 14 years of age and was producing the first recording with the group interest. Iwan could not do much and let Galang dropouts.Galang had also fled the house. On the run, according to Iwan, Galang see posters and photos daddy everywhere. "She was being watched," said Iwan. Galang was never able to escape and return home.One time Iwan suspicious. Iwan asked, "Lang, lu wear it?""What do you want to know Pa?" Said Galang, Iwan imitated.Iwan considers himself was repentant. Kok Galang wearing? Iwan was Galang imitating her daddy. At first cigarette and drugs. Endi Aras said Iwan somewhat careless when storing or smoking marijuana.Galang explains he only tried. It felt dizzy and stoned. "Fine, if you already know ya already," said Iwan.Incidentally Galang has a girlfriend, a girl named Inne Febrianti slang, which also objected Galang use drugs. Inne encourage Galang not use drugs."He's not a user. He was so in love with her family. Self-control is very strong, "said Iwan.Thursday 24 April 1997 at approximately 11:00 pm Galang return home, after the exercise band. He ate and then said goodbye to her daddy to bed. Mama is not feeling well again. Iwan still hear the phone-teleponan Galang.Dawn Kelly around 4:30 Bayu Saputra, Galang cousin who lives there, willing to take the comb in the room Galang. Galang but Kelly did not wake up call. Kelly approached Galang and her body shook. Limp. Kelly surprised. He knocked Josh rooms. Josh woke up and found his body cold Galang. "I fell down, called Iwan," said Josh.Family excited. Iwan was hit once. That morning his brothers came. They contacted all the relatives and friends. Leo Listianto, brother Iwan, called Ma'mun in Karawaci. "I'm still sleeping, the trust, do not trust," said Mamun.Ten minutes later, a call Ma'mun Dyah Retno Wulan, brother Leo, commonly called Lala, also told Galang died. "I'm stunned," said Mamun. He was rushed to the Bintaro.Fidiana received a call from Ari Ayunir. Fidiana wake Iwang Noorsaid, her husband, "Wang, this was sad news ... Galang died." They kinda do not believe for a few days before a visit to the couple and saw Galang Bintaro pacing. They tried to phone to Bintaro but a busy signal. They called Herri Buchaeri, Endi Aras, and several other colleagues before driving to Bintaro.Endi Aras said, "In the morning I was able to touch. Iwang Noorsaid the phone. "Andy arrived at about 5:30 Bintaro. "I'm wash (body Galang)," said Endi.When Iwan bathing her body, he said many times, "Galang, you're done, Papa who has not ... Lang, you're done, Papa was not ..... "The words were spoken Iwan many times.Ma'mun embraced Iwan. "Jagain Mas, Mas jagain children," said Iwan, as if to say he is less well looked after him."Yos hysterical, crying when I hug. 'Oh, my child is dead ahead of me,' "said Fidiana. Iwan was talkative, down, cry, and just say "thank you" to guests. "To us he was not talking at all," said Fidiana.Galang buried where? There is a proposal cemetery near Bintaro Land coachman. Iwan emotional, like Galang buried in his home. What about the rules? Iwan decided to call cleric Abdurrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur from NU. At that Gus Dur has not become the president of Indonesia. Iwan considers Gus Dur "tutor" the open, where people ask. Gus Dur understanding of Islamic law and the rule of law.Gus Dur in the phone explaining the rules of Islam are allowed to bury their dead in the house. Burial will depend deceased or the family's wishes. But in Jakarta can not bury people in their own homes because of limited land. "In Jakarta, Bogor ... that should not be."The word "Bogor" reminded Iwan on Leuwinanggung. Galang family decided Leuwinanggung buried.According to Harun Zakaria, a neighbor in Leuwinanggung Iwan, Iwan who also maintain the garden, she contacted Lies Suudiyah, Iwan's mother. "Mom Lies come here. He said, 'Cucunda died. Please here his grave, "said Aaron.The body was buried first at the mosque Bintaro. About 2,000 worshipers at the mosque for Friday prayers joined menyembahyangkan Galang. Many artists, neighbors, acquaintances Iwan, and Josh came convey grief. Setiawan Djody, W.S. Rendra, Ayu Ayunir, Jalu, Totok Tewel, Jockie Suryoprayogo, also appear there. Speculation journalists and visitors Galang led to gossip that the chest looks blue. Galang rumored overdose. It spread everywhere because the body Galang gaunt.People actually do not know the exact cause of death Galang because no autopsy on his remains. Comrades Iwan chose silence. They feel uncomfortable checking speculation overdose to the grieving parents. Kresnowati been told Josh that the cause of death Galang asthma. Fidiana said a few days before death, Josh said Galang more sickly. Iwan told me, physically Galang "rather weak" and "Galang weak digestion."But Iwan and Ma'mun deny speculation overdose. Galang is trying drugs but not seriously. Iwan said that two months before he died, Galang "was clean." Iwan believe his self-control.According to her friends, Josh Galang adventure assess a protest against Iwan. Galang daddy needs attention but Iwan too busy. Josh in their eyes are more resilient to face death Galang. Iwan more shocked and sorry. "After Galang died, he was not nggelek-nggelek. Salatnya been diligent, "said Endi Aras.September in silence Leuwinanggung, Iwan I ask how she feels now, five years after the death of Galang.He shifted in his seat and said, "Right now we have ngimpi, especially the sweet-sweet era when Galang was a kid."Iwan said that reflecting on the days when Galang is still there, he saw shortcomings as a husband and father. "(Death Galang) made me appreciate the function of the father, the husband functions. If I used to be more friendly, so his teacher, so his opponent, may be a different story. ""But all this can not be reversed."Be learned, Iwan said that death Galang so "fire" for himself in music."He chose the music, he even dropped out of school. She wants to get married at that time. He believed music could support his wife. I do not dare dishes ... it was here senep (tightness) ... hoooaah ... from here senep ... especially when the memories come, "said Iwan. He suddenly shouted, "Hoooooooaaaaah ...."I turned my eyes from eye Iwan. He threw his hands in the chest. We were silent for a moment. I apologize for reminding Galang death. Iwan says it's okay. "Sometimes if another sad ... senep. But if more glad ya forgot to mention. "Rolly Muarif including one of those people who often accompany post-death Iwan FALS Galang. Rolly is a musician born in Gorontalo, never entertain passengers Kambuna majors Manado-Jakarta. If unemployed, Rolly maintain spare part shop in Kranggan, near Leuwinanggung.Iwan often invited to Leuwinanggung Rolly. Iwan likes to paint and chatted near the tomb Galang. "Often I vent about the same because there's only my Galang doang," said Rolly. He also accompanied Iwan playing chess and talking until dawn. One time Iwan says, "If the child (loss) to parents, understandably, but if the parents to the child, it's hard.""I understand," said Rolly on me.Iwan lot of paint, sometimes at home Leuwinanggung, paintings on display, visible from afar. Recording new album was postponed since the death of Galang. "I was told to look at, sometimes behind," said Aaron Zakaria, Iwan neighbor, who also used to talk of post-death Galang. Iwan also at the invitation of the Leuwinanggung, jaipongan events, death, recitals, receptions, wedding, salawatan. "Anywhere I am invited," said Aaron.Iwan also played football and pay a trainer to train children Leuwinanggung. Aaron Iwan contributed stories mosque near their home renovations, "Sister Iwan donated carpet." Iwan also trains karate. He opened a dojo and participants to 200. "I train myself," he said.When the economic crisis hit Indonesia, Iwan Fals had tried to make a song to inspire the spirit of the endeavor. The work was halted when the demonstrations of anti-Suharto louder. In May 1998, Suharto's resignation from power, and Indonesia entered the era of democratization. Massive changes in the doorway. Iwan also see the time it takes a new step.Iwan FALS see a lot of fans had less strong economic base. Iwan wanted to "empower" them. Iwan also founded the Foundation for People Indonesia and ask Ma'mun be vice chairman, Endi secretary, treasurer Josh, and himself chairman.It was not enough. Iwan wanted to involve his fans directly. The idea was discussed by Ma'mun, Josh, and Endi. As a result, they agreed to invite the fans Fals, passing to Leuwinanggung for three days in mid-August 1999.Kresnowati asked to organize the meeting. Field behind the house Iwan closed sand, built 600 square meters large tents to sleep in, buy lunch pack, and look for corporate sponsors mineral water. Iwan asked builders build 20 bathrooms.It turned out great speech. Iwan fans of many groups coming. There is a thief, no drug dealers, regular employees, the father of the elderly, women tomboy, also veiled woman. There is also an appearance "punk rock abis" and make Wati excited. "Outside the fence too much of a wait would enter. I wish to meet Iwan, pictured with, "said Wati.When discussions, their quality varied look. There's fiery origin but a lot of talking. This enthusiasm is not surprising because the old Iwan appears to the public. Her last album came out in 1993.Wati also amused to see a tattoo on a fan Fals. Many are drawn back Iwan. There is also a forehead tattoo, the area between the eyebrows, tattooed the word "Fals." From Bandung group of fans tattooing the word "FALS" between thumb and forefinger. "If FALS definitely Iwan Fals. If Iwan's a lot, "said Ainun Rofiq, McDonald's fast food restaurant manager who became treasurer Oi.Last night before the meeting, Iwan, Josh, Ma'mun, Endi, and Wati discussion. In essence, they want to leave the management of Oi to new people or they hold themselves? They agreed to hold themselves first. If it were left to the people."I do not want her head. Consequently weight. Andy also did not want to. Until the home is not clear. Ma'mun did not want too. Iwan Ma'mun wanted to be president. Andy did not want to (reason) is khan fan club. Endi keukeuh (should) Wati, "said Kresnowati.The next day Kresnowati elected chairman of Oi. According to Zulkifli Digo, fans from Bandung, the three-day meeting they discuss: want to be a fan club or mass organizations. "If a fan club, his idol himself, the boss (Iwan FALS) really bad." They decided to become a mass organization.Wati in the first year more laid administration. They make a membership card, open a branch, and archive. "It's not easy to set up 10,000-plus members across Indonesia." Now Oi chaired Yunarsa Heri, a civil servant from the Attack.Barriers lot. Wati FALS fans still look orientation blurred between mass organizations and clubs. Many incoming Oi to "kiss hands" Iwan. "Kayak met the king ... let alone know the area ... ngeliatnya we are so confused, "said Wati. Problem funds are also obstacles. Iwan may be rich but organizations need money to fund huge.I wonder what would happen if Iwan someday become less popular or further loosen the music? What if Iwan died? The extent to which Oi could survive the emotional bond that is based on old songs Iwan FALS? How to change the loyalty of an individual so loyalty organization? How Oi can "empower" its members?I remember Elvis Presley, American pop music star 1960's, who said, "Music is like religion: when you experience them both, it should move you." According to Sun Records, Presley album sold more than one billion during his lifetime (Love Me Tender, It's Now Or Never Are You Lonesome Tonight or).Music FALS also move a lot of people in Indonesia. FALS be able to record the spirit of resistance of the marginalized people in the New Order. When Presley died, his songs even become immortal. Tomb and visited his people. The songs were re-recorded and continue to be a gold mine for his heir. Will FALS followed Presley? Does music have similar FALS religious experience?Iwan had never thought of this. "There's me or no, I was present at Oi," said Zulkifli mimicked Digo Fals.Oi now has representatives in various cities in Indonesia. This unique organization without precedent. Representative offices are also unique. In Cilegon he was hanging out at the office of the district administration. In Tangerang office at the butcher. Many also were in the narrow alleys. Agus Suprapto of Oi Yogyakarta said they got help from the lane X.Gema FALS also penetrate up to East Timor. Hugo Fernandes, editor of the magazine TaliTakum, informed me that the committee invite the independence of East Timor to Dili Iwan FALS when the country was about to declare independence May 20. "Everyone Dili wait Iwan FALS coming. People are disappointed because Iwan not come. In Dili, he was like a god. "It seems that a small country has its own injury because of Indonesia's occupation-often said to be one-third of the population was killed or died from starvation caused by 22 years of Indonesian military occupation-had a lot of people who should feel represented and voiced their oppression Iwan Fals.AFTER a long time did not work, Iwan Fals experiencing barriers to make a new album. Effendy Widjaja, a director at Musica, helping FALS overcome. "A Pen is breaking. I had to make a song he said. 'Do not be sluggish dong!' He mrepet (mumble), "said Iwan."Finally I got up, borrow money. She was selected from 300 songs, her mark. He was smart, I see the choice is still in my frame. "A Pen, nicknames Effendy, talks with her sister, or A Ciu Sendjaja Widjaja, president director of Musica, and Iwan was given a loan of money. They do not mention how the loan. Musica is only willing to answer my questions in writing.I estimate these loans required Iwan and Josh, as the leader of Management Iwan Fals, to finance "schedules" use the studio for rehearsal, recording, and so on. If the studio rental fee is calculated Rp 500 thousand disposable, Iwan told me, he used 720 times schedule to make an album called Voice of the Heart. That is, Iwan require approximately USD 360 million to finance the recording schedule. Iwan Management FALS wear Musica loan to build a studio. Iwan then rent the studios to the Management Iwan Fals. Rather complicated indeed. Iwan counting business with his wife.How to pay Musica? Iwan explained that royalties a tape Rp 2,000. If Conscience sell, say 150 thousand, meaning he received Rp 300 million. Is used to pay royalties receivable Musica. "From an economic point I lose. I do not get anything from Musica. I only expect from royalty ... tapes for life, yes, "he said.Iwan utilizing old friends-Inisisri, Nanoe, Iwang Noorsaid, and Maman Piul (violinist)-to work Conscience. The greatest difficulty arises from the computer. Iwan using advanced computer Apple Macintosh G4 in his new studio. "I do not use the service because they can not pay," said Iwan. "I also want to learn computers." Iwan do not understand the working Macintosh neatly. In effect, there are records missing.Specifically chose different guitar players process. One day Andy Aras took Digo Zulkifli, guitarist from Bandung who is also a fan Fals, visit Leuwinanggung. Digo help Endi in Matamata Communications after formation known as Oi. That day in the studio Digo met Iwan. Incidentally Iwan again need someone to fill the electric guitar. In the studio, according to Digo, he asked Iwan, "Digo you play electric?""Yes""Try it in the new album.""I asked for time and space," said Digo.Iwan invited but reminded Digo Digo that the proposal is not necessarily accepted. Digo willing. Digo suspect Iwan Management FALS still considering veteran guitarist Ian Antono, I Dewa Gede Bujana and Totok Tewel to fill the guitar. The three guitarists were knew Iwan. Ian Antono also arrange the album's music god. Option was dropped on Digo Zulkifli.Digo, too, recording with Inisisri, Nanoe, Noorsaid, and Iwan. When the record is broken, Iwan felt uncomfortable asking again Nanoe, Noorsaid, and Inisisri. "No good," he said. Asked Digo easily join a re-recording. Iwan also formed a new band to fill some missing footage. Iwan took Edi EDOT (bass), Job Suparman (keyboards), and Danny Kurniawan (drums).Later it turns out there is old footage found again. In the album Voice of the Heart, Only to Face song appears twice. Two songs, two bands, one singer, one album. Contributions Noorsaid for five of the 12 songs on there.Endi Aras see the band's two critically. "Iwan easy to leave his friends. Groups present from her fans all. It was from Oi all, "said Endi, as if to say FALS now surrounded by people who are relatively less equal ability with Iwan. No more Sawung Jabo, Inisisri, Ian Antono or Jalu, Cok Rampal, Ari Ayunir, Heiri Buchaeri, Iwang Noorsaid. Nanoe even died while Conscience have not been released.Though Iwan greater challenge. Climb to the top of the stairs is very difficult but even more difficult to defend. Age also increases. Iwan also have to follow the tastes of the younger fans. "If you want a long Iwan, the people have to be professional. Manager position there could be weakened by his own wife. Iwan can not be managed because his ego is huge. Josh confused too, "said Endi.Voice of the Heart was launched earlier this year. Tempo call this album the songs are good but aransemennya weak. Hai praised to the skies. Public speech is quite good. The presence Oi seemed to help marketing tapes Fals. The members of the Oi are fans Iwan. Iwan Management FALS connect it with the release of the concert album One Heart One taste around 40 cities, between March and August.Indonesia is very different atmosphere between concerts One Heart One Taste and Eye Gods. In 1989 Lord's resistance lies to the police. Concerts banned in Palembang. Now democratization began to be felt in various state institutions, including the police, so the tour One Heart One taste of this year goes smoothly. There are no restrictions although Iwan Management FALS could reverse some concert schedule because the People's Consultative Assembly last August. The reason, police personnel were deployed to overcome the political mass.Iwan FALS appear not only in the big city of Jakarta and Surabaya sorts, but also middle range of Cilegon city, Sukabumi, Brass, Bandar Lampung, Magelang, Mataram, and so on. From newspaper reports, the number of spectators ranging 5,000 to 15,000 people. Not for Takwa Cantata concert with 100 thousand spectators but it must be remembered that the concert this time the amount thereof is not really much.According Sendjaja Widjaja, until August 25 Conscience cassette sold 160 thousand. It's not bad for the size Musica although not selaris teen band Sheila on 7 of PT Sony Music Indonesia's solo album sales pass through a million pieces.According Sendjaja, the best-selling album sales FALS is Tembang Love (1993) as many as 535 thousand and the Best of the Best Iwan FALS many as 466 thousand. Both compilation albums or mixes. Best of the Best was released in 2000 and still includes the best-selling albums Musica.Endi Aras said the song Face Only Iwan preferred. This album reminds listeners to death Anarchy Signs Galang. It also reminds me of Eric Clapton's tribute to his son, Conor, with the song Tears in Heaven. Conor was only 4.5 years old when it fell from the 56th floor of an apartment in New York Clapton in 1991. Clapton also depressed due to the death of Conor.Face Arrangement Only meyayat heart. Playing violin playing. The lyrics are also strong. I think the death of their child be a great encouragement for Clapton and FALS to create expressive works.

On July 15, 1996 Andy accompany Iwan FALS go to Megawati, chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party, whose position is being shaken goons and thugs Suharto. Iwan not meet Megawati, just look from afar, but sympathy appears. Two weeks after the arrival of Iwan, the thugs stormed the headquarters of Megawati, Megawati supporters evicted by force, triggering turmoil Jakarta remembered as the 27 July 1996.But criticism of the cigarette problem still appears. This criticism is not coming this time of Rendra, but from Santi WE Soekanto, journalist of The Jakarta Post, who wrote that the main sponsor is Iwan FALS of Sampoerna A Mild cigarette. "These things are completely unnecessary Indonesia: the hero who introduced the 'entrance' use of drugs and hard drugs."Soekanto citing data from the World Health Organization says there are 1.1 billion smokers in the world. This number will increase to 1.6 billion by 2025. In rich countries, the number of smokers decreased, but the number increased in poor countries. Indonesia is not a poor country?Health Department reports 6.5 million people affected by the disease Indonesia each year due to smoking and 57 thousand of them died (mostly men). Smoking habits make the government lose a lot of resources for financing the damage caused by smoking.In rich countries antismoking campaigns running fast. Federation of Football Association (FIFA) last November signed an agreement with WHO banning tobacco sponsorship on the football field. FIFA deliberately equate opening 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan 31 May, with the global anti-smoking day. MTV supports antismoking campaigns with advertising that encourages teen singers do not smoke. In the United States the great singer supports anti-smoking campaign.This campaign against the tobacco industry through advertising and promotion of large-scale, especially in developing countries, either through a sponsor sports and music. Ad they deceive the youth with the false impression that smoking makes them look manly and mature. Cigarette identified with famous athletes and musicians.It resisted. WHO in Indonesia chose tennis champion Angelique Widjaja, bodybuilder Ade Rai, and model Tracy Trinita to support anti-smoking campaigns. "Unfortunately, not too many young people who saw Angie, Ade, or Tracy. The antismoking activists need bigger guns. Someone with the caliber of Iwan Fals, "said Santi Soekanto.This column reminds me of the discussion Salatiga 12 years ago. In 12 years Iwan see Galang daddy smoking bandwagon then try drugs until he died. Iwan private life is changing a lot. Titin Fatimah, Management secretary Iwan Fals, told me when he started working three years ago, Iwan Fals is not permitted."A fact is only a cigarette can release substantial funds for musical performances. First if indoor performances, many viewers can not watch. We decided outdoor and huge production costs. Only cigarettes that can afford it, "said Josh Rosana.FALS had said he might be able to smoke cigarettes again with a tour sponsor. Josh said better not tour when Iwan FALS relapse. "'d Better do not have to play," said Josh. "I also do not like the cigarette. I know it well nope. This fruit simalakama, "said Josh.Henny Susanto of Sampoerna, explained to me that the A Mild honor that contract. They sponsor Iwan FALS FALS because fans "fits" with the market share of A Mild.Explanation Titin, Josh, and Henny Susanto Salatiga matching the subject of discussion. Smoking is considered disturbing the aesthetic but not health. I find it hard to blame Iwan that he has not dared to refuse sponsorship because his contribution is enormous. Without cigarettes may be no concert.What is gained Sampoerna? Henny Susanto said, "The opportunity to communicate with the target market, both of which came to the show and who just saw the publication of what we do."If I may translate the words Henny Susanto, A Mild was delighted with this cooperation. The fans Iwan Fals, say people like Dawn Wijaya, the singers red hat, is the market share of A Mild. Sad too knowing Iwan FALS urges youth smoking.Life is not something simple. Life is often full of compromises. September twilight, when I left Leuwinanggung, my mind filled with turmoil about Iwan Fals. She adored, liked, and considered superhuman, but it also may be difficult to meet the expectations of the people who consider it to represent and help them.
