Heroic songs

Heroic songs

From Media Indonesia

I am having difficulty obtaining such heroic songs as Maju Tak Gentar (Fearless Advance), Halo-Halo Bandung (Hi, heroic city of Bandung), Padamu Negeri (Dedication to You, Country!) etc. I have visited all music shops, but have failed to find any of them. Maybe the recording companies are reluctant to produce such song because they are not very profitable. But, with the 50th anniversary of Indonesian independence fast approaching, these songs are, I believe, in great demand.

I suggest that the Ministry of Education and Culture produce the cassettes containing the heroic songs, and sell them to schools at a reasonable price.
