First song on DKJ 012 is in Portuguese, whilst the rest is mostly in Dutch.Side A consists of a long, spoken introduction, including the types of Kroncong (Tugu, Oud Batavia, etc.), the language used for some songs (Bahasa Kristang) and information on the individual players (age range 20s-70s, etc.).Lots of loud barking dogs sometimes disrupts the recording. Due to original recording inconsistencies, there are some imbalances in instrumentation and spoken introductions to individual songs are very soft.Some details heard on the recording:· Side A #3 – Nina Bobo· Side A #6 – Terang Bulan [from Kornhauser’s notes]· Side B #1 – Stambul Jampang· End of DKJ 013 – Kroncong Kemayoran· Start of DKJ 014 – Jali Jali
