EVER THE SONGS: THAT WERE PLAYED IN A DANGDUT HALL

Papa has just recently acquired the ability to post songs from You Tube onto his blogspot but nearly deleting the entire web site in the process. He had to closely follow what was instructed on the dashboard albeit the numerous times doing so, yet to no avail. Quaintly it was upon the last before totally giving up attempt that he managed to complete the much frustrating task. For it was the quintessential right click that somehow put everything into perspective. However so and most importantly, there should really, be enough, of the preamble lest he digresses too much into the superfluous. It is only that he would like to highlight to the Honorable Visitors, of whom, have taken upon them their valuable time to reiteratively visit, this inconsequential, blog of his- being papalados quite of course.
Even though the genres- music wise remain much the same, should strict observance be anyone’s daunting task particularly during the hourly sessions inside a dangdut joint, the tunes would always be two or three slow numbers followed by quite the same in terms of Zapin songs, consecutively the insuppressible Cha-cha-cha melodies and ending with the infernal Dangdut vocalizations.
Inasmuch as papa would prefer the songs played regardless of genres, harmonized in their traditional configurations, much like the archetypes of ‘Sway’ for Cha-cha, wonted albeit everlasting Malay tones for Zapin and the much identifiable yet timeless ditties for Dangdut, the solos and duets have been vulgarized by only changing the tones to fit the newer songs. An example would be the song ‘Sway’ played Zapin, Cha-cha and Dangdut style. In that respect the most crucial of component, in a song i.e. the soul would be lost. Sad truly sad, but the singers being mostly young must have been the culprits.
Nevertheless, above and below this post would be the songs that papa, in all probabilities, savored, all, the more, should they, be, often played, in a Dangdut establishment. Do Enjoy.
