It is no stranger to us to hear Dahsyat, one of the music programs on TV that has been accompanying you every morning in the morning. But did you know that the Dahsyat program has been stopped for a long time, precisely on January 19, 2018. You know, surely Raffi Ahmad, one of the main hosts from the beginning of this music program. Then, how about the news of Raffi Ahmad after the absence of this program?

So, apparently Raffi Ahmad now has his own music program. Not on television anymore, but on one of the more hits platforms, YouTube. Well, those who do not know yet, Raffi Ahmad has a YouTube channel called Rans Entertainment. Among the many content available on the Rans Entertainment channel, there is content that resembles a music program on television, they named it RANS MUSIC.

In this Music Rans they invited real singers then duet with Nagita Slavina, the wife of Raffi Ahmad who was familiarly called Gigi. Of course Rans Music has a very simple concept compared to music shows on television, because indeed each session only invites one singer or one group. There were quite a number of guests who had attended Rans Music and invited guest stars from various backgrounds. Both from musicians who are legendary to today's musicians, both pop music, dangdut, Islami, etc. Like Element, Via Vallen, Nissa Sabyan, Rizky Febian, Bastian Steel, vocalist of Gigi band, Vidi Aldiano, and many more.

The good thing is that Rans Music is purely a music program without the element of the 'alay’. But of course there are still some drawbacks. When only the teeth accompanying the guest star when chatting, it feels like something is lacking. Different when there is a Raffi who accompanies a guest star. This is also due to the factors of Raffi whose basic as a music host is more able to compensate. So, if Raffi wants to improve the content of Rans Music, he should also attend more often in enlivening Rans Music.

Next, there is still a lack of promotion about Rans Music, so there are still many who do not know that there is such content. Actually, if there is a continuous promotion that will make people who might not be interested will become interested because of what the intended content really is. From 1 or 2 people who are interested in Rans Music, they could suggest other friends to see too. So, of course it is not impossible that in the future Rans Music will have a lot of audience. Especially from the millennial generation who currently watch YouTube more than television.

Besides that, there is no consistent schedule when Rans Music is uploaded on YouTube. For this, there may be many obstacles, such as adjusting the schedule with guest stars and team members, editing the video process, and other obstacles behind the scenes that we do not know. But actually it can all be overcome if Raffi and the team are serious about fixing it. Because of many youtubers can consistently upload their videos according to their schedules.

So, if from the host, a definite schedule and incessant promotions are improved, Rans Music will be even better. Moreover, the platform used to develop Rans Music is currently "in". For the duration you can adjust, whether long or short if the contents of the video are interesting, the watch will feel enjoy. In fact the audience will feel less and want more if the video is interesting. So, good luck always for Rans Music and Rans Entertainment!

Release the Second Single, Devano Accused of Plagiarism

Not long ago stepping up his career in the world of singing, Devano Danendra was hit by bad news. The son of Iis Dahlia was accused of plagiarism. His latest song, "Ini Aku" was mentioned similar to the song "April" owned by Fiersa Besari which was released in 2013 ago. Many netizens suspect that the song has many similarities, both lyrics and tone. Through its Instagram stories, Fiersa also recognizes the similarities between the two songs.

According to Fiersa, not Devano should be held accountable for this but the songwriter. And this incident becomes learning for the Devano before leveling up as a big star. Devano Danendra and Fiersa had communicated with each other. The son of Iis Dahlia also expressed his apology to Fiersa. It did not take long, the parties from Devano and Fiersa met each other. Until finally the youngest son of dangdut singer Iis Dahlia confirmed the problem with Fiersa was over. He also denied that there had been plagiarism in the single that was made as the original soundtrack of the Dear Nathan Hello Salma film and admitted that the creator of the song Aku Aku, Pika Iskandar was indeed inspired by Fiersa.

According to Devano, after a direct dialogue between the songwriter "Ini Aku", Pika Iskandar, with Fiersa, it was discovered that there were indeed similarities between the two songs. However, only in three bars. While a number of musicians and music observers argue that a new song can be said to imitate or copy another song if it has similarities to 8 bars.

In other hand, Robert C. Osterberg and Eric C. Osterberg in his book "Substantial Similarity in Copyright Law" stated that, "Substantial similarity in music can be found through examination of various large elements including melody, harmony, rhythm, pitch, tempo, phrases, timbre, tone, spatial organization, consonant, dissonance, accent, basslines, sound new technology and overall structure". From this description it is clear that to identify a song's plagiarism is not as easy as imagined and not as simple as just stating the size of 8 bars.

From this case, hopefully Devano in the future will be more careful in taking a project so that it does not happen again. Because in addition to being bullied by the other effects of this case is the reduced interest of music lovers to listen to the song, although it is not too significant. Also makes people become underestimate Devano in terms of music and that will have an impact on his career later.

Of course this case of plagiarism is still being debated until now, because music only has seven scales right? It is also not wrong if there are some people then consider it reasonable if there is a similarity in a musical arrangement. It is a problem, a classic problem that cannot be separated from the creative industry. Apart from the two problems, plagiarism is not justified. It is better if we include the name of the original owner of a work that we quoted or do not hesitate to provide clarification as done by Devano and Fiersa to avoid unwanted problems in the future.

Is Sule's New Song is Telling His Heartache?

Source: style.tribunnews.com

Entis Sutisna, better known as Sule, is an Indonesian comedian, host, singer, and actor. He is known for being able to make spontaneous, responsive and creative minds. After 20 years of wedding and having 4 children, both were decided by the Cimahi Religious Court to divorce. Issues of infidelity and the existemce of a third person are called to trigger a crackdown on Sule comedian households. The owner's full name, Entis Sutisna, was able to avoid the news of a third person in his marriage. Nevertheless, his legal counsel at the divorce verdict hearing submitted the video evidence of the affair between Lina and the man named Tedy.

After the divorce, Sule released his latest song. Does the song show the story of the Sule and Lina families? The single titled "Pati Lalaki" tells the sad story of a man's struggle to provide for his wife and childre. Despite having a cheerful upbeat jazz rhythm, this Sundanese song has heartbreaking lyrics.

In a 4-minute song, Sule recounts the heartbreaking struggel of a helpless man who was persectude by life. The man tried to make a living for his childrens and wife, but when the problem was near, no one cared about him. Nobody wants to save the man from torturing and presecuting the world to him. He was left alone without anyone willing to appreciate his efforts. And he tried to cure his pain alone.

The songs with a blend of traditional Sundanese music and modern music immediately attrected public attention. Many sympathize when they hear and read the meaning of the song's lyrics. Not a few netizens suspect that Sule implicitly tells about his suffering so far.

In my opinion, Sule is one of the artists who clearly uses her life story as something beneficial, like her new song "Pati lalaki". When the news of his divorce with Lina was rife, he made a song that told his heartache. suddenly the song became a busy song to discuss. in my opinion Sule is a smart artist in terms of popularity, because through the songs he made it can make money. and through the song Sule got a lot of defense from the community, because the public knew the contents of the song about heartache and created by the Sule itself. indirectly the people will side with Sule. and Sule's popularity will not go down because of this case. instead, Sule gets more profit through the song that he created.
