Song in the Sumatran Highlands

Repertoire: Radio Republik Indonesia, January 26, 2004

I recorded this performance but there were major technical difficulties (possibly interference with the radio signal) that makes the recording unusable and unlistenable. The timings presented here are purely hypothetical, except to indicate the start of sets, which I did note down. I suspect there were more songs performed than these titles (somewhat akin to the Repertoire: Radio Republik Indonesia, September 27, 2004), but I do not have record of them. 

  1. Introductory Material: Imbauan Saluang
  2. Introductory Material: Imbauan Singgalang
  3. Song: "Singgalang Alai [New]"
  4. Song: "Ratok Pak Bawang"
  5. Song: "Cancang Kambiang" 
  6. Song: "Pariaman Lamo"
  7. Song: "Lubuak Sao"
  8. Song: "Suntiang Patah Batikam" 
  9. Song: "Ramalah Hanyuik" 
  10. Song: "Tanjuang Balik" 
  11. Song: "Guguak Manitik Ameh" 
  12. Song: "Ratok Koto Tuo" 
  13. Song: "Ratok Bonjo" 
  14. Song: "Lawang Lamo"
This material involved an introduction to the program, reading a series of request, and three sets of dendang. I imagine the set-up was similar to the Bagurau di Udaro I witnessed some months later, where a series of request slips would be read, a set of dendang were delivered, more slips were read before the delivery of the next set.
