I used to listen to my late dad sing this song but the "alternate version" however never knew the origin came from this! Hope I don't get banned Here i go Banggali want so longg~ Melayu want Potonggg India want so black and Strong! and Chinese want like Sotongg~ 😂😂😂

never heard any of these

面白かった、勉強になった。😮このきょくなつかしい、またその歴史を知る機会があって嬉しい

I first heard it on the Compilation album The Rough Guide to the Music of Indonesia. It was intriguing. Thanks for the history.

and then there is West Papua and South Maluku , 2 non Indonesian nations occupied by Indonesia . they will never allow another Timor type independence referendum , Papua only gets the so called act of free choice or as known by Papuans = the act of no free choice.

Thank you for teaching me a valuable musical/human lesson. The Japanese expression, 物の哀れ, says it all.

Fascinating - I've seen all the movies you mention but I missed never connected that it was the same song. I'm more familiar with Kopi Dangdut.

Love Indonesia <3

As an Indonesian, the best sentence i can give you is that bengawan solo is basically the asian version of my way by frank sinatra. It's just one of those cult classic that is unanimously loved by people no matter what generation you're from. It's the type of song that even though you may not be alive yet when the song first release but when you listen to it you can experience that era

a song that tells about the philosophy of a river in Solo that carries love along its journey from upstream to downstream, and in the end all rivers will end in the ocean. A song favored by Japanese Imperial soldiers guarding European prison camps in Indonesia. This song reminds them of the river and their family in Japan. This song was also liked by European prisoners in the camp, reminding them of the glory of Europe when they were still the rulers of the Indonesian nation and its rivers and their families in the Netherlands. And for Indonesia itself, this song gives hope that one day its people can be humanized as humans...in their own country. The song Gesang Bengawan Solo is truly extraordinary, loved by Japan, the Netherlands and Indonesia at the same time, in the 1940s when they were at war with each other.

The song is popular thanks to Japanese and Chinese Malaysian that spread the song to other parts of Asia. Indonasia didn't have nearly the same cultural influence as Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong to spread the song

not me waiting for momo latiff's version 😭

On one hand, I would like to clarify that playing "Bengawan Solo" wasn't the prelude of Indonesian Nationalism. Indonesian nationalism officially started on October 28, 1928. On the other hand, thank you for acknowledging that Indonesia Independence Day is on August 17, 1945 and not what the Dutch and many other countries claimed, 1949.

In fact, a lot of Indonesian classical music has been changed and rearranged by other countries secretly without the knowledge of Indonesian classical music creators. When World War II ended, classical music accompanied by keroncong musical instruments became the listener's favorite musical instrument in the evening before resting. Several colonial soldiers & generals brought the cassettes back to their country and distributed them to commemorate the atmosphere in Indonesia. every beat and rhythm of the singer's music will bring peace to the listener's heart at that time. There are several Indonesian classical songs that were arranged without the composer's permission & there is also the President of Indonesia who gave cassettes of Indonesian classical songs to other countries as a sign of friendship. Even though it is in Indonesian, music is universal and the melodic rhythm of the traditional keroncong musical instrument will make the heart happy & peaceful. Examples I remember: 1) The song Terang Bulan from Indonesia was a very hit song and was eventually changed to the Malaysian national anthem (but the information I got was that Malaysia had paid the copyright to the owner of the song) 2) Ayo Mama, a hit song that young people liked at that time. The President of Indonesia visited Czech Republic and gave him a souvenir in the form of a cassette of the song Ayo Mama. Turns out they liked it and it was performed by a Czech band and arranged with Hawaiian musical instruments, dancing & Hawaiian costumes. as an attraction/promotion and apparently liked it, but many Europeans didn't know that it was a song from Indonesia. (unless Dutch definitely know the song from Indonesia) 3) Teresa Tang, legendary singer from China. Indonesian youth at that time really idolized and invited Teresa Tang to a concert in Indonesia. It turned out that Teresa Tang was becoming more and more famous and Teresa Tang started to like Indonesia and went on holiday to Indonesia while listening to several Indonesian classical songs and finally Teresa Tang covered a lot of Indonesian songs & used Indonesia leanguge. - Then Teresa Tang really likes Indonesian song entitled Dayung Sampan. - The text of the song Dayung Sampan was changed to Mandarin and became the song TIAN MI-MI and finally Teresa became increasingly famous throughout the world. In fact, there were lots of Indonesian songs that were hits and popular at that time, even though they were popular in other country, but unfortunately music lovers didn't know that the creators of these classic songs actually came from Indonesia.

Who made this video, did a white guy dumped you back in college? This reeks of resentment and I’m Malaysian, this sounds like typical Asian-American leftist take, colonization, fetishization etc. Seriously, who’s the white guy who pumped and dumped you?

To anyone who come across this comment, just skipped to @9:34. You’re welcome. You don’t need the filler at the start

Beuhhh ada di filmnya direktor legendaris jepang Akira Kurosawa dan direktor hebat Hongkong Wong Kar Wai. Untuk film Wong Kar Wai mungkin ga se famous California Dream nya The mamas and The Papas(Chungking Express) tp bisa ada di film yg direktornya dkenal bisa membangun mood film lewat lagu brrti menurut Kar Wai ini lagu pasti ada "sesuatu" nya. Mantab mbah Gesang. Rest In Peace ya mbah 🙏

This song reminds me a lot about my grandpa, his kindness, his story about the Japanese occupation era

Ini sangat keren! 😮

It's sad to see this song has been translated into many languages and yet the Indonesian writer and composer of this song lived in poverty until the end of his life.

Saludos🗿

❤ 🎉 🙏..

aku nontonin in the mood for love ga nyadar samsek ada bengawan solo 😂

I was in Singapore this summer and saw the Bengawan Solo bakery chain. I wondered if it may have been owned/founded by an Indonesian-Singaporean. It makes so much sense now. I too wasn’t aware that Bengawan Solo had been embraced across Asia and the world. So proud that a song aided in our national and pan-Asian identity-building. Thank you for raising our awareness and appreciation! ❤️🇮🇩

so coolest content🌻

Full org indo 😅

The only good things coming out from Solo is indeed the song Bengawan Solo, the other 'thing' is bring destruction to the whole nation. lmao.

I remember in 80's, some Japanese collectively put some money and sent to Gesang, the composer of this song. That's before any law suit against the corporation who use this song. It's at least a good gesture by Japanese people who valued the artwork in the era when art work was not valued highly in Indonesia.

viral at that time

You know that during World War II, Japan controlled Indonesia for several years, and when Japan was defeated in Hiroshima, Japan withdrew its forces, and after the withdrawal, Then the Nusantara archipelago (now Indonesia) declared itself an independent country, Several years later Japan paid compensation for the damage they caused in Indonesia (this is a political matter, so I will limit it here). And the parents (elders in the village) once told a story, that the song Bengawan Solo was also a way of diplomacy, introducing the sovereignty of the Indonesian state, later on it also became famous in the Netherlands. That is one of the many stories circulating among the people, whatever it is, the song Bengawan Solo once again became a legend on the face of Asia in that era.

Thank you for this beautiful video! In these messed up times for us Indonesian, knowing the song reach many outside does warm my heart 🥺

Terimakasih.... luar biasa

I missed the memories about my mom when i hear this song

I've heard this song since I was a child. In the atmosphere of a half-Thai-Chinese family, And I know it's a song that originally came from the Philippines-Malay-Indonesia - somewhere. But I don't know the real history. And I believe that the melody of this song aroused my interest again from the movie In The mood for love 2000 and your explanation was very helpful. Recently, while I was lulling a child, I accidentally hummed this song even though I was still I don't even know the name of the song. Thank you for this good clip.

Bengawan Solo is not only song were popularised in the 60's....Rasa Sayang is one of them too.

It's one of my favorite song ever.

In the Philippines, Bengawan Solo was the first Indonesian song to played in Calabarzon including myself, although there is no Filipino version of this song, the song became popular in Calamba City, because I played that on RUclips since 2018 I started as Indonesian culture enthusiast way back in 2022 when President Bongbong Marcos’ state visit to Indonesia and since then, Indonesia is always on my mind even I’m a Filipino myself, live in Calamba City so I updated news about Indonesia, watching anything Indonesia on documentary and listening Indonesian songs including this one, so that I dreamed to visit Indonesia someday, plus I learned Bahasa Indonesia on my own on Language App, Duolingo and Indonesianpod101 With all my heart, I hope to see you in Indonesia soon and I will be waiting for you 😊😊 Love, Mr. Darwin Penaflorida from Calamba City, Laguna in the Philippines 🇵🇭💕🇮🇩
