Radio Is A Foreign Country 14 – To The People

Retro Minangkabau folk & electronic pop music, Sundanese psychedelic pop & beat music, Malay pop & dangdut classics, and more!

Special thanks to Luigi Monteanni (Artetetra) for contributing a killer electronic kalason/Pop Minang cassette, Uda Sjam (aka Samsom Pho) for first treating my ears to that Lies Embarsari record, superhuman digger Henk dem Toon (Madrotter), Laurent Jeanneau (Kink Gong) for sharing that beautiful saluang cassette, Palmer Keen (Aural Archipelago) for the great instrumental dangdut recorded off Radio Jawa just for us, chOOn!! for the mixtape (more on that to come), Alan Bishop/Sublime Frequencies and Sham Palace for the amazing radio recordings and compilations.

“To the People Far Away, So They Will Come Home Soon” is from the Minang song “Rabad.”
