A poster in memory of Benjamin Sueb installed on the Internet. The poster was so right depicts the face of Benjamin, representing the aura as it is known: berombaknya black hair, his face that broke with the explosion of laughter, thin mustache ... Finger pointed at a woman dressed menor who was sitting holding a mirror; torn pieces of paper daily calendar hover around the woman.
The creator, who calls himself "bibibawbawbaw", described the poster as "visual poetry in his song [Benjamin] entitled 'Nanke Lande'". In one couplet of this song, Benjamin sang:
Lande Nangke hit the nail matengnyeEaten gajeh giginye pade painAde jande lame ga-behavior behaviorEvery day ngaca merely die.
Bluntly, ignorant, tickle ... and many more characters matching the typical of artists born in Jakarta, March 5, 1939, is in music - also later as a comedian and actor.
As a singer, who first practiced his career, he has been synonymous with the xylophone kromong. He may be called as a figure who plays lift kromong xylophone, musical "edge" that closely with the citizens of Batavia, to a broader level.
The popularity which he obtained from bergambang kromong was extremely gigantic until nearly cover his other activities that are not less compelling: that he also sang several songs in the rhythm of blues and rock. Even have a special project.
In the 1970s, when still a duet with Ida Royani, Benjamin sang "Stove Meleduk". Listening to the song that the words beginning with shouts of "Aaaah ... its' flood!" This, denied that the pattern is hard rock. Like most rock songs (which actually originated from the blues), his spine is a series of melodies that became the main theme, usually from the guitar. People call it riff, or ostinato in classical music.
Intro song, a riff tunes DCA (in the key D7), should have immediately spread a bluesy atmosphere. But it may be people who do not recognize it. Especially if the later is heard the lyrics in the Betawi dialect:
Jakarta is flooded, in Bogor ballistic windRuméh Ane-Gare Gare stove fire mledukAne so gemeteran wara-Wiri keserimpetAne flooded house Gare Gare-clogged drains
Since deciding jump xylophone kromong (since his first band, the Melody Boys, exposed to ban anti-song crush ngak ngik ngok or Western music in the mid-1960s), Benjamin does tend to be misunderstood. People consider it more funny jokes or just through the songs. When in fact he was recording and telling the event or events that take place in the community.
Of course, in his own way, which often represents spontaneous expression. Occasionally there is also criticism. Or, sentilanlah (without sentilun), if the word "criticism" unacceptable. For example in the "evicted" or "illegal".
The song "extortion" (1977) even received an award from Soedomo, Commander of the Security Restoration Operation Command and Order, because they help the Orderly Operation program at the time.
So, as something outside the lane, only natural elements deliberate blues and rock slid in between the songs xylophone kromong often considered not detectable radar. Or, at least, identified as one of the "strange" arrangements.
In fact, if traced back, the emergence of blues and rock, or other flow outside the xylophone kromong, not without basis. While still with the Melody Boys and usually appear at nightclubs and hotels, Benjamin already be familiar with the various rhythms. Band anywhere, in places of entertainment like that, indeed inevitably have to master many kinds of music.
Joined Mustika Naga, having had swerved in order to survive, not necessarily keep Benjamin from the modern atmosphere of the music. Xylophone orchestra led Suryahanda kromong this modern concept, at least among the instruments used to strengthen the groups found in contemporary music. For example, electric guitars, organ, and bass. Opportunity to become very open to experiment, therefore.
In the 1960s and the 1970s, when so many blues-based music, as well as soul, is becoming a trend, Benjamin also absorb it. Idiom and character expressive music that turned out to be paired with the character of Betawi culture. Understandable when Benjamin menyusupkannya into his works.
His interest in blues and rock had become the basis of the formation of Al-Haj in 1992. This is the band who gather famous musicians at the time: Harry Patience, Keenan Nasution, Odink Nasution, and Editya.
Harry Patience, as quoted by Theodore K.S. in "Benjamin Sueb, Legend Betawi" (Kompas, February 27, 2004), Benjamin says that time "want to sing rock songs as Ahmad Albar of God Bless". Al Haj released one album contains ten songs titled culprit.
So far, the album cover that is known to be a Benjamin discography, which for a music career has produced more than 70 albums. Three years before he died of a heart attack, Benjamin sing songs in the rhythm which according to history, rests on the sad song of the descendants of Africans in America.
