20 years Purwacaraka Music Studio

Yesterday, on the 23 Nov 08, I happened to be home, flicking channels on TV and at 4 pm, there was this Concert to celebrate 20 years of Purwacaraka Music Studio at Indosiar (TV Channel)
The event was actually held on the 15 Nov 08, but it went on air on the 23 Nov.

So... it's a concert of Purwacaraka's talented students, plus Purwa Caraka Light Orchestra, n there was also Marcell , Trie Utami, with Choky Sitohang as the host.

Guess what..... They were playing the song "The Final Countdown", and then the camera zoomed to this drummer who was a little boy !!! His name is Naufal and he's merely 3.5 years old, Imagine that !!!

Here (youtube) you can see a clip of Naufal and other talented kids being interviewed.
n there, Naufal said "Let's play dum (drum).... Metal !!!"
Sooo cuteeeeeeee .... hohohohohoho

There was also a clip on drum ensemble, here (youtube again), kinda like percussion.

Ugghh...I didn't get a chance to record the event from TV, so I was looking for clips on youtube, but all I can come up with are these two huhuhuhu.

It was a really great event, it just goes to show that there are a lot of talented kids in Indonesia :)

There was also a brief interview with Purwacaraka, I forgot his exact words, but it goes something like this "I get to do what I like, which is my hobby and it's fun and it get to do it for a living"
How cool is that :)



And Trie Utami, his sister who's a talented singer said that 99.99% of Professors/Scientists abroad can play music. Dat's amazing right...

Then we've come to the end of the show where Trie Utami sang one of Indonesian National songs "Tanah Airku" by Ibu Sud,

For those of you who vaguely remember the lyric, Here goes :

"Tanah Airku"
By : Ibu Sud
Tanah airku tidak kulupakan
Kan terkenang selama hidupku
Biarpun saya pergi jauh
Tidak kan hilang dari kalbu
Tanah ku yang kucintai
Engkau kuhargai

and Marcell continues with,

" Indonesia Tanah Pusaka"
By : Izmail Marzuki.
Indonesia tanah air beta, pusaka abadi nan jaya.
Indonesia sejak dulu kala tetap dipuja-puja bangsa.
Disana tempat lahir beta, dibuai dibesarkan bunda.
Tempat berlindung di hari tua, sampai akhir menutup mata

and for the Finale, "Aku suka Musik" , by whom ????
by Titiek Puspa :)

Perfect ending.... :)

and like Naufal said :
"Let's play dum (drum).... Metal !!!"
