Folk songs

Correction: In our translated article on folk songs by Remy Sylado which appeared on this page last week, the translation for the song title Tete da Tidor should have read Grandfather Has Gone to Sleep; the correct reference to Sunan Kalijaga was "one of the nine wali, the early propagators of Islam in Java"; and according to the writer, Sing Sing So was first sung in China 700 years ago, not 200 years ago. We regret the errors.
