girl from Bandung



Sandra Reemer might be better known as a Dutch singer (representing Holland several times in the Eurovision Song Contest), but she was born in Bandung, Indonesia. She even recorded some songs in Malay when she was first launched as a child singer, such as this top seller of 1964.

Sandra never really had a charted hit in Holland until 1968 when duetting with Andres. Before 1968 she was well known but no real big seller.

Another "Indo girl" that did score various gold records in Holland around 1962-64 was Anneke Gronloh, originally born in Celebes. She also recorded in Malay.
