Other comments: One website selling this coffee, mentions this song and the opening lyrics.

".... The song entitled "Randang Kopi" was created by Ajis Sutan Sati and sung by Elly Kasim [a famous Minangkabau pop singer]. Maybe the lyrics of the song were once familiar to the generation born in the 70s, but now they are rarely heard."

Lyrics
Minangkabau
Rang Bukik Apik oi marandang kopi
Tampak nan dari lereang pandakian
Alah mamak oi di pandakian, ondeh kanduang oi

English
The people of Bukik Apik roast coffee
It's visible from the side of the slope
Already mamak on the slope....

Repertoire: Sariak Laweh July 25, 2016 20 List of repertoire at Malam Bagurau, Sariak Laweh plain 2021-05-12T19:19:38+00:00
This performance was unique in that of all the malam bagurau attached to weddings that I attended in 2016, it alone involved a mix of musical styles: saluang klasik, the reason I attended, saluang orgen (songs, many of which are from dendang repertoire, accompanied by saluang and synethsizer), and orgen (just a vocalist and synethsizer). If a dendang is performed on saluang orgen or orgen, it is from the gembira category, the synthesizer providing a consistent rhythmic backdrop. The timeline for this performance, therefore, has a few more categories. It represents style first and foremost so the user can appreciate the relative amounts of time in each style. Within the saluang klasik style, dendang are represented by their type. When the songs are performed in the style of saluang orgen or orgen, then the type of song is specified in the description. See the following page for analysis on relative amounts of time on each style and each type of song.
1. Musical Item: Imbauan Saluang
2. Musical Item: Imbauan Singgalang
3. Song: "Singgalang Induak"/ "Singgalang Alai [new"]: nobody identified the title for me so I don't know for sure what to call it, but as Sri was one of the performers and she used the title "Singgalang Induak" for the same tune a few days before, I expect that she would identify the tune that way.
