JAKARTA (JP): After vanishing for two years from the
Indonesian music scene, Filipina singer Maribeth B. Pascua who
dazzled the nation with her Denpasar Moon song four years ago, is
back in Indonesia.

She will be performing at Poster Cafe on Jl. Gatot Subroto
tonight at 9 p.m. Besides including songs from her last three
albums, the winner of the 1991 Voice of Asia also has several
Indonesian pop songs in her repertoire such as Vina Panduwinata's
Aku Makin Cinta (I Am More in Love) and Ruth Sahanaya's Bawa Daku
Pergi (Carry Me Away).

Maribeth is now free from her contract with Sony Music Japan
and is preparing her fourth album with PT IndoSemar Sakti. The
album will consist of 10 songs, all in Indonesian.

Maribeth's Denpasar Moon created a sensation here in 1993 when
it became a blockbuster throughout the country. More than 60
illegal cover versions followed its success. At the time it was
suggested she be made an honorary citizen of Bali, but the idea
was rejected by the local government. (35)
