Totally loving this Melayu cassette from Dorce Gamalama, especially the first song, Ku Suka with it's droning bass-line.... Knew her from tv but never really heard her music before, wow....

Gamalama was born in Solok, West Sumatra, Indonesia. She was raised by her grandmother after both parents died when she was a year old.

In her teens she began to appear on stage in women's clothes, and took the stage name Dorce Ashadi. She later underwent sex reassignment surgery in Surabaya. Her stage name derived from mount Gamalama in Ternate.
