Genjer-genjer is an Osing language folk song from East Java about a plant called genjer (Limnocharis flava). Genjer grows abundantly in Java and is known as a food that peasants can rely on in times of hardship. The song was first recorded during the Japanese Occupation in 1942 by Muhammad Arief, arranged for angklung; the Japanese Military Occupation Government used the song as propaganda to encourage Indonesians to live austerely during wartime as crops were diverted to feed soldiers on the frontlines, leading to widespread famine and starvation. [1] The propaganda campaign introduced Indonesians throughout Java to the song. In the late 1950s and early 60s, Genjer-genjer gained popularity throughout Indonesia, and the country’s political left began to take interest in the song. The song’s themes of peasant hardship and perseverance resonated with the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) in particular. In the 60s, the song gained more familiarity and popularity with Indonesians as it had air time on television through TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia) and radio through RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia). Well-known musicians also came to record Genjer-genjer, most notably Bing Slamet and Lilis Suryani.[2] In 1965, Genjer-genjer became entangled in the New Order’s mythology of the September 30th Movement, an abortive left-wing coup that took place on October 1st, 1965 that Suharto used as a pretext to launch a counter-coup and bring his own authoritarian government to power, which he called the New Order. During the coup, seven generals were abducted by the September 30th movement and then killed at a site called Lubang Buaya. In order to bolster its own legitimacy and further discredit the Indonesian Left, the New Order fabricated a story about how during the killings members of the PKI youth organization and Gerwani (The PKI women’s organization - Gerakan Wanita Indonesia) danced and took part in orgies as they mutilated the generals while singing songs, including Genjer-genjer.[3] [4] The only evidence that the New Order presented for the song’s use during the killings is unreliable and fabricated, however, stemming from confessions extracted through torture and a book of Indonesian folk songs that included lyrics for Genjer-genjer found left behind at Halim Airforce Base (the coup headquarters). [5] [6] Given Genjer-genjer’s connection to the politics and culture of the left and its alleged connection to the September 30th Movement, the New Order quickly banned the song. The ban on the song ended in 1998 with Suharto’s resignation and the end of the New Order. Since 1998, more and more Indonesian musicians have begun to perform the song, though the stigma that became attached to it during the days of the New Order has not yet dissipated fully from Indonesian society. The American rock band Dengue Fever also recorded a version of Genjer-genjer in 2016, though with lyrics in Khmer.[7] LyricsGenjer-genjer (Osing Language) Genjer-genjer nong kedokan pating keleler Emake thulik teka-teka mbubuti genjer Emake thulik teka-teka mbubuti genjer Ulih sak tenong mungkur sedhot sing tulih-tulih Genjer-genjer saiki wis digawa mulih Genjer-genjer isuk-isuk didol ning pasar Dijejer-jejer diuntingi padha didhasar Dijejer-jejer diuntingi padha didhasar Emake jebeng padha tuku nggawa welasah Genjer-genjer saiki wis arep diolah Genjer-genjer mlebu kendhil wedang gemulak Setengah mateng dientas ya dienggo iwak Setengah mateng dientas ya dienggo iwak Sego sak piring sambel jeruk ring pelanca Genjer-genjer dipangan musuhe sega Genjer-genjer (Rough English translation) Genjer laying all through the rice fields The mother of the boy comes to pick genjer The mother of the boy comes to pick genjer Taking a bunch she turns away without looking Now genjer has been brought back home Every morning genjer is sold at the market Laid out in rows tied up to be sold Laid out in rows tied up to be sold The mother of the girl buys genjer while carrying a woven bamboo basket Genjer now can be cooked Genjer enters a pot of boiling water Half-cooked it is drained as a side dish Half-cooked it is drained as a side dish A plate of rice and orange sambal in front Genjer is eaten with rice References1. ^ Hersri Setiawan, Aku Eks-Tapol [8][9][10][11]2. ^ Hersri Setiawan, Aku Eks-Tapol 3. ^ John Roosa, Pretext for Mass Murder 4. ^ Shadow Play 5. ^ Hersri Setiawan, Aku Eks-Tapol 6. ^ Shadow Play 7. ^ KEXP 8. ^{{cite book|last = Setiawan|first = Hersri|authorlink = |title = Aku Eks-tapol|publisher = Galang Press|series = |year = 2003|doi = |isbn = 9799341809}} 9. ^{{cite book|last = Roosa|first = John|authorlink = |title = Pretext for Mass Murder: The September 30th Movement and Suharto’s Coup d’Etat in Indonesia|publisher = University of Wisconsin Press|series = New Perspectives in Southeast Asian Studies|year = 2006|doi = |isbn = 9780299220341}} 10. ^{{cite film| last = Hilton| first = Chris| authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Shadow Play| trans_title = | url = | accessdate = | edition = | series = | volume = | date = | year = 2002| publisher = Thirteen/Wnet| location = New York| isbn = | doi = | page = | pages = | chapter = }} 11. ^{{cite book| last = KEXP| first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | editor = | title = | trans_title = | url = | accessdate = | edition = | series = | volume = | date = | year = 03/08/2016| publisher = KEXP| location = Seattle, WA| isbn = | doi = | page = | pages = | chapter = }} Genjer-genjer 2 : Indonesian songs|Political songs |
