J - Rocks 10th Anniversary Concert Opening Sequence

- Sik Sik Sibatumanikam (North Sumatera)
- Cik Cik Periook (West Kalimantan)
- Yamko Rambe Yamko (Papua)

Ethnic & Pop Medley (w/ Vocal Guide)

Composed by : Mercy Tampubolon - Tobing, 1998

This track was rearranged in the "Zapin Melayu" music genre. I added some Echa Soemantri-esque drum solo and Barry Likumahuwa-ish bass solo, I hope they don't mind LOL. The brass section isn't a typical Zapin Melayu instrument, it's just there for fun :D All sounds are from the KORG PA900 Arranger Keyboard. Free Download!

Apalah Arti Ibadahmu (PKJ 264)

Composed by : Michael A. Perry, 1969

This relatively new Christmas tune was rearranged in the "Pop Bali" music genre. Features a blend of modern instruments and traditional Balinese sounds like the Rindik, Balinese Gamelan and 'Kecak' chants. The intro and coda sections are in the style of "Kul-Kul", an Indonesian ethnic-jazz band. All sounds are from the KORG PA900 Arranger Keyboard. Free Download! 

Kandang Domba Itu RumahNya/See Him Lying on a Bed of Straw (KJ 127)

Composed by : Gary Oliver, 1978

This contemporary gospel song, made popular by Don Moen, was rearranged in the "Classic Dangdut" music genre. I made a conscious effort to eliminate the trademark synth brass riff because I thought it was overused, but ended up putting it in the interlude section. Oh well :D All sounds are from the KORG PA900 Arranger Keyboard. Free Download!

Rayakan Yesus Rayakan / Celebrate Jesus Celebrate

Composed by : Eva-Lena Hellmark, 1985. Lyrics by : Terry McAlmon

This contemporary gospel song was rearranged in the "Pop Borneo" music genre. The soundset includes a Middle-Eastern wind instrument not typical to the genre but was fun to tinker with. Inserted a snippet of the traditional "Hallelujah", inspired by Jakarta Tabernacle Choir's rendition of this tune. All sounds are from the KORG PA900 Arranger Keyboard. Free Download!
