Malacca Strait Jazz Festival- 7/6/08



I remember leaving quite a harsh review on my website the last time I saw Tompi, I was wondering maybe he wasn’t THAT bad?! Oh my God, he is. His popularity and fame are an absolute enigma to me. And he sounds like a chipmunk when he scat sings with his pretend air trumpet. Intensely irritating.







Rieka Roslan… the absolute highlight of the festival. Wonderful soul singer, and lots and lots of fun.


Andien… apparently was a child star. A little plastic for my taste.


Geliga… founders of the festival and combine jazz with local Sumatra ethnic music.


Hendri Lamiri, a wonderful soulful violinist. Loved the set.

U’re right on the money with Tompi. Never met anyone who hates him, apparently it’s you and me. haha
