À propos de Ebiet G. Ade

Ebiet G. Ade is Indonesia's most beloved singer-songwriter, a solitary guitar-and-voice troubadour whose 1979 debut Camellia 1 made him a national figure overnight. His 1979 ballad Berita Kepada Kawan, sung as a letter to a friend lost to disaster, remains the country's go-to song after natural catastrophes and is its closest equivalent to Don McLean's American Pie. He has released more than thirty albums and still tours, mostly solo.
