There are some very interesting similar...Thanks!!!<br /><br />There are some very interesting similarities between Fuji music and Jaipong music from West-Java... Both are super swinging percussion driven genres and both are steeped in huge discussions about the origins of the genres, I was reading a bit about how King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal made some remarks not that long ago, about how the genre came to be, where the name Fuji came from and there were loads of (often angry) reactions to that..... Like Barrister is seen as the one who developed the Fuji genre so is Gugum Gumbira looked upon as the one who developed the Jaipong genre and there are also big discussions going on about this here in West-Java....<br /><br />I first heared Fuji music around 1982 on a radio program called Moondogs in Holland. Kollington and his Fuji '87 Organistion... I started searching for it but where ever I went nobody had heard about it, "Fuji??" "Is that from Japan???". Even the best record shops in Rotterdam and beyond in Holland couldn't help me and in all those years of searching all I ever found was a cd from Barrister, Fuji Garbage recorded in London and one vinyl record from Barrister that got lost in a fire....<br /><br />It's only now, thanks to guys like you and Moos and a few others that I finally, after 35 years, can get my hands on this amazing music....<br /><br />Thanks again!!!<br />Henk Madrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733745439852366674noreply@blogger.com
