Mazef's Collection

Whole big bunches of vintage Indonesian pop music to be found here, from vinyl and cassette, with their lovely splashy covers.

Tabah Dan Cobalah

Madrotter has the last album from famed Indonesian girl group Dara Puspita. Despite being weighted down by all that female plumbing, they still managed to perform on their own musical instruments, imagine that.

Indonesian pop from Orkes Medenasz including the groovy little Nona Nona.
