I remember (but just barely) a trip to Japan a bunch of years ago, and
a very long evening in the bar at the top
of the Tokyo Bay Hilton. There was much drinking that evening. And
there was also a Singaporean country/western band that did a credible
impression of the real thing, only, you know, good. Then again, maybe
it was the whiskey talking. As it turns out, it had a lot to say.
Which is relevant only because I was surprised to discover that
Mocca hails from Indonesia, which isn't (or at least wasn't
to me) obvious from a casual listen. I discovered this fact by a
diligent search of Google, which revealed little but did lead me to
MTV Asia and eventually to the truth. (But not
to their website, which for
whatever reason refuses me entry.)
Not knowing anything about Indonesian pop, I can only say that I enjoy
the soft and low key stylings on display here. And if I ever make it
back to that part of the world, I'm gonna have to check out the music
scene.
