Bhaskara 86 (Indonesia) at the North Sea Jazz Festival • 13-07-1986 • World of Jazz

Bhaskara is the name of a music group from Indonesia that plays musicin the Jazz-fusion genre. Formed in 1985, with the name Bhaskara 85, this group was listed as the first Indonesian music group that appeared at the prestigious arena of the North Sea Jazz Festival.

From Wikipedia Indonesia:
This music group appeared for the first time in Taman Ismail Marzuki, on July 2 - 3, 1985 with the initial formation: Kiboud Maulana (guitar), Udin Zach saxophonist, Bambang Nugroho and Didi Hadju as keyboard players, Karim Suweileh (drums), Perry Pattiselanno on bass, Luluk Purwanto (violin and voice), Dullah Suweileh (percussion), and the main vocalist is Nunung Wardiman who happened to study in France at the time.
They performed 12 songs, including "Live is too short to worry", "Japanese child", "Daughter", "Samba in Bali" and "Es Lilin" with a re-arrangement. Bhaskara's presence in the middle of 1985 was inextricably linked to the role of Black Maulana, who acted as the show and supervisor producer of the group.

In 1985 they left for the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague, the Netherlands under the responsibility of Peter F. Gontha of PT. Bhaskara music production. It turned out that the performance of Bhaskara '85 was reasonably successful until the chairman of the North Sea Jazz Festival, Paul Acket, asked the group to return to the festival next year. For the second time, the Bhaskara 86 formation has undergone a slight change. Fortunately, Bhaskara 86 got a broader stage than the previous year. Luluk is again the star of their performance. The compositions are considered the color of personality music that is typical of its elements in Indonesia. After the North Sea Jazz Festival Bhaskara went again to the recording studio, followed by shows in various cities in the country.
