MINANG SONGS

1. “Badindin” by Tiar Ramon and Elly Kasim

This song reminds me somehow to the way people of Minangkabau treat their culture.

2. “Jaso Mandeh” by Nuskan Syarif

This songs tells that “mandeh” or mother in raising her children is never repayable.

3. “Tanti batanti” by Ria

When I stay in the United States for two years, pursuing my master’s degree, I enjoy this music so much. There is “western” music style in this song, too.
