  2. hi henk! i know you probably get quite a few reup requests, but i've been itching for some more music from sumatra. any chance you can reupload this one when you get the chance?

    also, have you heard this tape?

    it's similar to the hasan pardede and gondang sahata saoloan tape. very intense!

    the various haba haba group videos on youtube are beautiful, in case you have not heard of them.

    the tracks that sublime frequencies decided to share with us from their collection are very nice as well. would love to find some more samsimar!

  3. Hey, Henk. I strongly apologize if you dislike requests, but would you mind reuploading this cassette whenever you can or would like to, please? I am very intrigued by Batak music, and this tape in particular is one that I have been searching for years. Thank you very much!

  4. yes i really hate requests because i have to try and find stuff and there's thousands of tapes, thousands of vinyl but that ain't even it with this tape... see... i bought this along with a whole bunch of these tapes, turns out that most of them were the wrong tapes inside, and this one was one of those wrong tapes, if it wasn't i would've re-posted it ages ago because i also very much like this stuff,,,,,

  5. Ah, too bad, Henk. I hope you find this - or another - cassette tape from Lake Toba one day, because there's definitely a demand for them among people who visit your blog frequently, like me. Hehe.

    Best wishes~
