Today’s Doodle, illustrated by Yogyakarta-based guest artist Antares Hasanbasri, celebrates the progressive Indonesian pop singer and songwriter, Chrisye. Born Chrismansyah Rahadi in Jakarta on this day in 1949, Chrisye won many awards in his 40-year career and is widely considered one of the greatest Indonesian musicians of all time. Chrisye’s 70th Birthday, Google Doodle Celebrating Today.
Chrisye’s parents had hoped he became an engineer. To their surprise, he fell in love with music early, starting a band with his brother Joris and later playing bass with his neighbors, eventually forming a band named Gipsy. Chrisye's early recordings with Gipsy, as well as a number of other solo albums, solidified his place as one of Indonesia's most popular recording artists.
Gipsy's breakthrough occurred when they collaborated with Guruh Sukarnoputra in 1976 through the album Guruh Gipsy, blending contemporary rock and traditional music of Java and Bali, in a style called gamelan.
A 1977 film soundtrack, Badai Pasti Berlalu (The Storm Will Surely Pass), birthed two of his most critically acclaimed works, including "Lilin-Lilin Kecil" ("Little Candles") written by James F. Sundah. His smooth vocals on the song, emanating hope from an older generation, made the uplifting memorial song a favorite — and was also what inspired the art in referring Doodle. The success of the soundtrack album led to a solo career with Chrisye's first solo project, Sabda Alam, in 1978.
"Semangat ber Musik Saya tidak akan pernah mati," Chrisye once wrote. "My musical spirit will never die."
