Anyway, so apart from indomee goreng, they have another export which is probably one of their best, and pretty well known too. Yes people, i am talking about their music and no, not dangdut (ok so maybe dangdut had a little contribution in introducing Indon music earlier) i mean the Indonesian rock bands, popstars and music artists!
Sheila On 7
Let me tell you a story of my first time listening to Indonesia's musical talent. When i was young, my uncle always had me listening to dangdut because he was into it but i wasn't. and when we were all younger, i'm pretty sure you all had parabolas didn't you? Those big dishes behind your houses where you would receive a lot of Indonesia's satelite channels. Yep so i had one of those as well, and as i was flipping through the channels, and just like love at first sight..it happened, i saw Sheila on 7's video clip 'sephia'. and from that moment on, i was forever in love with Indon music.
Peterpan
Okay.. so as time passed by and i grew older, more and more Indonesian bands came through, a lot of them really good. Peterpan, Ada band etc to name a few and other less well known but equally talented groups such as Flanella, Nidji, Tiket and so on. With that in mind, so let us pay a tribute now to all these wonderful artists who have redefined the music scene in Indonesia as well as Brunei (these bands have a huge following in our country if you didn't know as you can see and hear from our radios and successful concerts)
"THANK YOU INDONESIA! WE LOVE YOUR MUSIC!"
