Dedicate to Gombloh
Maybe you've never heard of the name of Gombloh, but I have. Nowadays, his name is not very familiar to many people. But as I remember when I was 10 ish, I heard his songs on the radio or TV.As I clicked on youtube, I found his songs by accident!
Gombloh was born in Indonesia on July 14, 1948 to Slamet and Tataoekah, a chicken-seller family. Slamet always his children to pursue high education so they can live better. After having finished his high school, Gombloh studied at Institute Technology Sepuluh November in Surabaya majoring Architecture, but too bad he didn't finish it. And he ended in music industry.
Gombloh died on January 9, 1988 because of complex illness. But do you know that most of Gombloh's songs were used as a research by Martin Hatch from Cornell University entitled "Social Criticism in Songs of 1980's Indonesian Pop Country Singers" in Toronto, Canada in 2000.
Too bad, Indonesian government paid attention to his creation after his death, especially for his song "Gebyar Gebyar". As he was still alive, this song was totally ignored.
