Busy recording these Bimbo albums, and I have to say... I really had forgotten how good these guys were actually.... Bimbo were the three brothers from Bandung, Sam Bimbo, Acil Bimbo and Jaka Bimbo and on most of their albums they are joined by their sister Iin Parlina. They worked with many, many artists over the years but those four are basically Bimbo and here's a dangdut/pop Melayu album from them....
GET IT HERE
Enjoy!
Thumbs up
ReplyDeleteI ended up not making it to Jakara for the reunion show (alas) but I saw many videos on Instagram, and "Relax" was the song that everybody rushed to film on their phones -- seems like it was maybe their biggest hit? Everyone there seemed to know it, and it was almost all kids in their 20s/30s
ReplyDeleteWell I wouldn't know what their big song was, way before my time, but doesn't surprise me. We get a lot of 80's and 90's bands doing concerts here, often old boy bands, often pretty sad to see.... I went to a level 42 concert many years ago here, they were already a forgotten band by that time but lots of youngsters in the crowd that knew every song, word for word....
