Lagu Rasa Sayange Pertama Kali Direkam di Lokananta

Published on October 09 2007, 11:39:06 by Antara from : http://id.newspeg.com/actualite/Hiburan/Lagu%20Rasa%20Sayange%20Pertama%20Kali%20Direkam%20di%20Lokananta-24009.news

Solo (ANTARA News)- Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata mengumpulkan bukti-bukti otentik tentang lagu Rasa Sayange yang pertama kali direkam di Lokananta, SOlo, Jawa Tengah (Jateng), yang saat ini juga digunakan Malaysia untuk promosi pariwisatanya. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan adalah dengan mendatangi perusahaan rekaman Lokananta di Solo yang masih menyimpan bukti-bukti tersebut, kata Kepala Bidang (Kabid) Informasi dan Publikasi Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata, Jordi Paliama, pada wartawan di Solo, Selasa. Salah satu bukti kuat bahwa lagu itu merupakan milik Indonesia adalah adanya piringan hitam yang berisi lagu-lagu tersebut yang pertama kali direkam di perusahaan rekaman Lokananta di Solo. Bahkan, Lokananta juga masih menyimpan pita "reel" atau rekaman suara sebelum akhirnya dicetak menjadi piringan hitam yang direkam tahun 1962."Kedatangan kita ke sini untuk mencari bukti autentik bahwa lagu itu miliki Indonesia. Hal ini juga menunjukkan sikap pemerintah terkait penggunaan lagu Rasa Sayange oleh Malaysia," katanya.Lokananta saat ini masih menyimpan sebanyak tujuh piringan hitam berisi lagu Rasa Sayange. Lagu itu direkam dan diperbanyak hingga 100 piringan hitam dan dijadikan cindera mata saat Asian Games IV.Menurut Jordi, dengan adanya rekaman lagu yang pertama kali dibuat itu, maka hal ini menjadi bukti kuat bahwa Malaysia memang mencontek lagu Rasa Sayange."Kami juga sudah melakukan kontak dengan publik Maluku dan pengarang lagu derat seniman Maluku untuk menbuktikan bahwa lagu itu dari Maluku. Dan, menurut publik Maluku, lagu itu sudah dinyanyikan sejak tahun '20-an oleh warga Maluku," jelasnya.Pada tahun 1951, lagu itu juga sudah dinyanyikan dihadapan Presiden RI saat itu, Soekarno, saat meresmikan pembangunan Gereja Maranata di Maluku, dan saat tersebut Malaysia belum merdeka. Jordi mengemukakan, meskipun pihaknya memiliki bukti otentik berupa rekaman asli, tetapi pihaknya mengakui bahwa bukti itu masih belum kuat, pasalnya lagu tersebut tidak diketahui siapa yang menciptanya dan hanya mencantumkan NN (No Name) dalam nama pencipta. "Tetapi, menurut James F. Sundah, jika ada perselisihan di antara dua negara mengenai klaim sebuah lagu, maka negara yang menang adalah mereka yang memiliki rekaman lagu itu pertama kali dibuat. Kita patut bersyukur, sebab di Lokananta masih menyimpan rekaman lagu ini yang dibuat tahun 1962," ujarnya.James F. Sundah yang dimaksudnya adalah pencipta lagu dan penyanyi senior di Indonesia, dan selama ini banyak berkecimpung dalam kegiatan hak cipta musik nasional. Ia juga pencipta lagu Lilin-lilin Kecil, yang terkenal melalui lantunan suara Chrisye (kini almarhum).Selain mencari bukti di Lokananta, pihak Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata juga mengumpulkan bukti-bukti dari Minoru Endo Music Fundation di Jepang. Diharapkan di Minoru Endo dapat ditemukan kumpulan lagu-lagu asli Indonesia yang diserahkan kepada mereka dari Indonesia untuk dibuat buku berisikan lagu-lagu dari berbagai negara."Mungkin lagu itu masuk dalam daftar yang kita serahkan kepada mereka, dan karena keterbatasan kuota, maka hanya ada 20 lagu saja yang dicantumkan sebagai lagu asli dari Indonesia tanpa mencantumkan lagu Rasa Sayange di dalamnya," katanya.Sementara itu, Kepala Cabang Perum Percetakan Negara Lokananta Solo, Ruktiningsih, mengatakan bahwa piringan hitam berisi lagu-lagu daerah termasuk Rasa Sayange direkam di Lokananta pada tanggal 15 Agustus 1962, dan diperbanyak hingga 100 keping piringan hitam. Hal ini dilakukan atas perintah dari Presiden Soekarno kepada Menteri Penerangan waktu itu, R. Maladi."Saat ini kami masih punya tujuh keping piringan hitam berisi lagu itu," ujarnya menambahkan.

AM Fatwa Nilai Malaysia Tidak Etis Manfaatkan Lagu "Rasa Sayange"

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Wakil Ketua MPR, AM Fatwa, menilai bahwa Pemerintah Malaysia telah bertindak tidak etis dengan memanfaatkan lagu "Rasa Sayange" sebagai "jingle" pariwisata negerinya."Malaysia tak etislah lakukan itu. Kalau hal-hal yang sudah jadi milik masyarakat, penciptaannya dan sudah jadi lagu wajib Pramuka, kok mudah saja mencaplok untuk `jingle`," katanya seusai bertemu Wakil Presiden (Wapres) di Jakarta, Kamis.AM Fatwa menyampaikan pernyataan tersebut berkaitan dengan lagu "Rasa Sayange" yang digunakan Kementerian Pariwisata Malaysia untuk "jingle" iklan pariwisata negeri jiran tersebut.Oleh Karena itu, Fatwa mendesak Pemerintah Indonesia segera mengirimkan Nota Diplomatik protes kepada negara Malaysia. Menurut Fatwa penggunaan lagu tersebut telah membuat masyarakat Indonesia tidak senang."Saya tidak tahu apakah pemerintah sudah kirimkan Nota Diplomatik tetapi kalau belum harus segera dilakukan," kata Fatwa.Pemerintah Indonesia, menurut Fatwa, harus mendengar aspirasi masyarakat yang merasa tidak senang dengan tindakan Malaysia tersebut."Selama ini Malaysia telah `mencubit-cubit` kita, mulai dari kasus besar Sipadan-Ligitan, kasus TKI hingga lagu ini," kata Fatwa.Sebelumnya, Menteri Pariwisata Malaysia Adnan Tengku Mansor mengatakan lagu "Rasa Sayange" yang dijadikan "jingle" kampanye pariwisata Malaysia akan terus digunakan, sedangkan Menteri Kebudayaan, Kesenian, dan Warisan Rais Yatim meminta Indonesia membuktikan lagu itu sebagai miliknya.Kepada harian The Star, Adnan mengatakan, Indonesia tidak bisa mengklaim sebagai pemilik lagu itu karena lagu itu merupakan lagu rakyat Malaysia.

The Jakarta Presidential Palace Complex stands majestically at the heart of the national capital, adjacent to the National Monument Gardens (Monas), on Medan Merdeka Utara Avenue. It is erected over a 6,5-hectare land at an altitude of approximately 5 meters above the sea level.
The Jakarta Presidential Palace consists of two palace buildings: the Independence Palace, which faces the Monas; and the State Palace, which lies across the Ciliwung River on Veteran Street. The grounds of the Jakarta Presidential Palace also comprise other buildings: the Presidential Office, the State Residence, the Baiturrahman Mosque, and the Museum of the Presidential Palace. Located on a setting of large, old, and leafy trees with dangling roots, and carpet-like, lush, green lawn, the Jakarta Presidential Palace exudes an air of dignity and serenity.The function of the Jakarta Presidential Palace is more focused towards serving as the venue for official presidential activities. In addition to serving as the office of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, the palace is also used as the center of governmental activities, the venue for holding state ceremonies, inaugurating high-ranking state officials, (inaugurating cadet officers of the Indonesian National Army (TNI),) hosting state guests, inaugurating Indonesian Ambassadors, receiving the Letters of Credence from Ambassadors of friendly countries, inaugurating national deliberations and working meetings, inaugurating national and international conferences, and also serve as the venue for commemorating the Independence Day on every seventeenth of August.

Following the independence of the Republic of Indonesia, this building was also the venue for the signing of the Linggardjati Agreement, on 25 March 1947, between Indonesia, represented by Mr. Sutan Sjahrir, and the Netherlands, represented by Dr. Van Mook.

The news about that ceremony were broadcasted spontaneously.At the same time the Red and White flag flapped in Merdeka Palace, the song of Indonesia Raya reverberated and the yell ‘merdeka, merdeka, merdeka’ echoed in every corner of the country. That is why the palace were named Merdeka Palace.The first celebration of the Republic of Indonesia independence day were held in 1950 on 17 August at Merdeka Palace.

Unilever Donates About 5000 of Its Products for Bengkulu and West Sumatera Quake Victims

28/09/2007 : PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. in collaboration with Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT), Republika, Radio Delta and Yayasan Nurani Dunia provided aid in the form of 5,000 packages of Unilever products.

To help alleviate the suffering of earthquake victims in Bengkulu and West Sumatera, PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. in collaboration with Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT), Republika, Radio Delta and Yayasan Nurani Dunia provided aid in the form of 5,000 packages of Unilever products allocated for about 25,000 persons. The aid donated is in the form of daily needs very much needed by the public, among them are bath soap, toothpaste, tooth brush, shampoo and anti mosquito, and sarung and blankets.
“Unilever Indonesia’s vision is to become the main choice for consumers, customers and the public. As one of the realizations of this vision, we have an official agenda to support community development and to help those in need through corporate social responsibility / CSR. As a company that has grown and developed in Indonesia, it is only fitting that this public assistance and development becomes a matter that obtains huge attention,“ said Sinta Kaniawati, General Manager of Yayasan Unilever Peduli which is a nonprofit foundation under PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk.
”The quake disaster that occurred in early fasting (month) is very touching, at breaking fast time they had nothing to break their fast. Therefore, Unilever also donated 10,000 kilograms of dates and biscuits, and 10,000 bottles of mineral water,” added Sinta.
Maya Tamimi, Program Manager of Yayasan Unilever Peduli said, “The earthquake that occurred in Bengkulu had destroyed various public facilities such as masjid, schools, pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), and other public facilities. When we visited Bengkulu (17/9), we also channeled aid to residents in Pesantren Darunnaja. With the assistance we channeled, we expect to slightly alleviate the suffering of those hit by the disaster.”
In accord with Maya, Andhika Purbo S, Partnership Officer of ACT said, “Based on our observation in the field, there are still many areas yet to receive aid, among them Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatera. The assistance they very much need now are: blankets, tents, genset (mobile power generators for lighting), mats, clean water, ready to serve food, the nine basic commodities (sembako), and medicines.“
Sinta said that the distribution or channeling of Unilever’s donations to the Bengkulu and West Sumatera residents is made possible owing to cooperation with partners, namely ACT, Republika, Radio Delta, and Yayasan Nurani Dunia. The donations have been handed over to the quake victims in stages since 16 September. ‘We appreciate very much the cooperation with the partners experienced in handling the distribution of assistance for quake victims. With such cooperation the aid can directly be quickly received by the Bengkulu and West Sumatera people/communities. Without the cooperation with experienced partners, it would be difficult for us to realize this aid. We are fully aware that the efforts conducted jointly would provide a greater impact for Bengkulu and West Sumatera residents,” said Sinta.
“For Jambi and Padang, Unilever Area Sales Managers (ASM) in both areas also lent a hand to coordinate with Yayasan Unilever Peduli in terms of product provisioning. In addition, we also obtain the full support of our local distributors for aid distribution,” added Sinta.
