`Butet' song composer

`Butet' song composer

From Kompas

On Aug.9 on TPI (Televisi Pendidikan Indonesia) I happened to be watching the singer Grace Simon sing the song Butet.

It is most regrettable that the composer of the song was announced as being anonymous (NN) while in fact it was my father, S. Dis Sitompul.

I suggest that television stations intending to broadcast songs check the composer's identity with YKCI (Yayasan Karya Cipta Indonesia -- the Indonesian Authors Foundation). This is to avoid confusion, especially when the songs are well known in Indonesia.
