We will present Keroncong song sung by Indonesian talented singers Bram Aceh and Safitri. A song “Hanya Engkau”, sung by Bram Aceh is a love-themed song which tells about a man who is adoring his lover. He feels always happy when the beloved woman is close to him. That’s a glimpse of the song “Hanya Engkau” dedicated by Bram Titaley or better known as Bram Aceh. His ability to present keroncong songs has brought the man who was born in Banda Aceh a nickname of “the Father of Keroncong Indonesia”. Bram then gave birth to generation of singers who develop Indonesian music world. They are Harvey Malaiholo, Irma June and Glenn Fredly, his grandchildren. Bram’s career began when he won the competition of Keroncong Jakarta Raya in 1955 as the first winner. Ismail Marzuki is a talented music composer of Indonesia in the era of Indonesian independence struggle. The song is still enjoyable to listen and always inspires patriotism and nationalism spirit. The song was dedicated by Noor Agni Safitri or better known as Safitri with modern keroncong music. To present keroncong songs Safitri was usually accompanied by okulele, flute and violin. Thanks to the encouragement of her parents, Safitri was finally interested in kroncong music, and focused on the music. Moreover, singing keroncong is an irreplaceable pride during her life.
