Hive Open Mic 116 : Trumpet Sound." Tipe-X - Salam Rindu cover by @donirosayandi

Hi Hivers, how are you all? I'm sure we're all fine. By the way, my name is @donirosayandi, I'm a guitarist. On this occasion I will sing again for the 116th week of the Hive Open Mic #openmic contest with theme: "Trumpet Sound." This theme is chosen by recent Spotlight Artist: @ovey10.

For this week's theme I have prepared a good song, a song related to the theme, namely the song called "salam rindu" which was popularized by "Type-X".

Type-X is a ska band that won the Favorite band title at the Alternative Music Festival. The band formed in September 1995 (under the name Head Master) is now fronted by Tresno Riadi (vocals), Micky (bass), Yoss (guitar), Aditya Pratama (drums), Billy (guitar), Anto (trombone), and Andi Toha (saxophone).

When formed, Head Master only consisted of Tresno (vocals), Micky (bass), Yoss (guitar), and Hendro (drums) who often performed songs belonging to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers (RHCP). After Irul entered for the rhythm guitar position, they began to play a new genre which at that time was still foreign and less well known in Indonesia, ska. They often perform songs belonging to foreign ska bands, namely Voodoo Glow Skull and Operation Ivy.

To add to the ska feel, they added personnel for the Brass Section position, namely Andi on the trumpet and an additional player for the trombone, namely Edhot.
Type-X is one of the pioneers of ska music in Indonesia which has survived until now.

Tresno Riadi et al even decided to record their own album because they felt there was no hope for shelter in a big label.

"At that time people thought, 'this is music that cannot exist in the Indonesian music industry'," said Tresno as the vocalist of Type-X.

Luckily Type-X was reunited with record label Pops.
They were finally given the opportunity to release their debut album Ska Phobia which eventually exploded with the single "Flirty".

The Philosophy Behind the name Type-X

Many people think the Type-X and is the brand of the Type X ink eraser.

Tresno straightened that the name Type-X was taken with the philosophy of wanting to be different from other bands.

However, Tresno also admitted that he was grateful because the presence of Type X helped the band's popularity.
But that's our strategy to make people more familiar, yes, Type X eraser. Even though the philosophy is that Type-X is a different type from the others. We want to be a different band," said Tresno.

As the name implies, Type-X did bring a different genre in the music industry when it first appeared.

"Salam Rindu" is a Type-X song that was released in 2001. It became one of the singles from Type-X from his album entitled "They Never Understand."

The lyrics of the song Salam Rindu Type-X have a meaning about someone who is longing for his lover and continues to reminisce about their togetherness. As in the lyrics below:

When the full moon shines
Light up the night I remember you
And I send greetings about my longing
With the night wind I faithfully wait

I chose this song because the band is very thick with trumpets and a brass section. At the beginning of the intro song, this song is filled with ska-style trumpet, and I play with my guitar in the same tone.
This fits perfectly with this week's theme, "Trumpet Sound" which was chosen by our friend @ovey10.
