Place affiliations: This song is affiliated with Payokumbuah, because it was created there, but also the place, the city Pariaman and kabupaten Padang Pariaman because the song is affiliated with the genre Indang Pariaman. I consider the second the stronger place affiliation because it was inspired by the musical content of that region. It sounds like a song from Pariaman.
