Indonesian folk songs

Thank you for the articles about Indonesian folk music in The
Jakarta Post on May 9, 1998. I found them extremely interesting.

As the Indonesian language is widely taught in Australian
primary and secondary schools, the majority of these language
students are able to sing many Indonesian songs. The most popular
are Burung Kakatua, Naik ke Puncak Gunung, Nona Manis, and Halo-
Halo Bandung. It would be sad indeed if these songs died out in
Indonesia while continuing to be part of Bahasa Indonesia in
Australia.
