Teh Vina Rules!

I just found out that this radio station is organizing Vina Panduwinata's solo concert in celebrating their fourth anniversary.

Huhuhu.

Forget the much hyped, way more publicized, and definitely glamorous Java Jazz -- I'd go for Vina anytime. She has the character, in all terms: voice, stage performance, personality. She was all over the '80s, the 90's and her magical charm still works on the younger generation of the 21st century. Her songs have been rearranged, resung and she clearly inspires many leading Indonesian songstresses. During her golden (or platinum?:p) years, every female singer -- top charters and wannabes -- were so Vina-ish.

And I practically grew up to her songs. Since the days of Di Dadaku Ada Kamu until Aku Makin Cinta, they'd marked the stages of my life.

As a tribute to her, here's one of her hits that I usually sing *ehm* whenever I get the chance, hehehe..

Genggamlah tanganku ini
Dan peluklah daku sekali lagi
Kuingin kau s'lalu dekat denganku

Lihatlah mataku ini
Agar kau mengerti betapa diri ini
Sangat mengagumi dan menyayangimu

Katakanlah, Sayang, bahwa kau hanya milikku
Dan diriku ini selalu menjadi milikmu

Kau s'lalu di hatiku, 'ku ada di hatimu
Oh kau dambaan hidup, 'ku s'lalu di hatimu
Satu di dalam nada cinta

Dua cahaya bersemi
Dan menjadi satu di dalam cinta
Semoga 'kan abadi 'tuk selamanya...

(Satu Dalam Nada Cinta)

I know, the lyrics are helpless *sigh*, but the tunes are still awesome and get you taken!

Way to go, Teh Vina!
