Dear Murid2 Mr. Jon
The Legend of the Mountain of Tangkuban
Perahu
Once upon a time in Pasundan land, west java, there was beautiful woman who was
actually a beautiful heavenly goddess. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She lived in
a hut at the forest with her faithful dog, Tumang.
One day while weaving cloth, she lost one of the tools. Being tired of looking for it everywhere. Dayang Sumbi said to herself, “Anyone who can find my lost tool and give it back to me, if he is a male, I’ll make him a husband and if she is female, I’ll make her a sister.”
To her shock, Tumang found the tool and returned it to her. Unavoidably, Dayang Sumbi had to fulfill her own promise to marry Tumang, who was once a man who had been cursed by an evil witch into a dog.
It so happened that Dayang Sumbi bore a baby son and named him Sangkuriang. Sangkuriang grew in to healthy teenager who liked hunting animals in the forest. Dayang Sumbi never told Sangkuriang that Tumang was his father.
One day, Sangkuriang and tumang hunted for a deer in the forest. Soon they met a bor. Sangkuriang wondered, “why isn’t there are any deer today? But, I think a boar will not make any difference. “Sangkuriang shouted at Tumang.”Go and fight the boar. Kill it for me!”
To his surprise, Tumang didn’t kill the boar because the boar was actually Dayang Sumbi’s mother. The boar went away safely. This made Sangkuriang so furious that he kills Tumang. Then, he took out the dog’s heart and gave it to Dayang Sumbi.
Having eaten the heart, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang, “By the way, where is Tumang? I haven’t seen him since you came back from hunting.”
“Mother,” replied Sangkuriang softly. “I killed Tumang for his disobedience. The heart that you ate was really Tumang’s Heart.”
“You! You are an ungrateful child” cried Dayang Sumbi, hitting a soup ladle onto Sangkuriang’s head violently until his head was bleeding. “Get out of my face, you murderer. How dare you kill your own father? You are a useless son!”
Bleeding on the head, Sangkuriang run away into the deep Forest and up to hill. Years passed by, Sangkuriang turned into a handsome and skillful hunter. He had forgotten all his better past because he had lost his memory. He even forgot about his name.
One day, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman in the forest with whom he fell in love. The woman was Dayang Sumbi, who could not grow old as she was goddess. Sangkuriang did not recognize her own mother, but Dayang Sumbi recognizes Sangkuriang from the old scar on his head.
Deeply in love, Sangkuriang proposed her to marry. To avoid the for bidden marriage between a mother and a son, Dayang Sumbi asked him to make a man- made lake and a boat in one night as a wedding gift for her. With the help of the unseen creatures from the forest, Sangkuriang built the lake and the boat. Dayang Sumbi knows about it and she outwitted Sangkuriang so that the work was not completely done. Knowing this, Sangkuriang was so angry that he kicked the boat and the boat turned upside down. It became the mountain of Tangkuban Perahu in West Java.

Text 2
The Ost (Original Soundtrack) of Brownies
Bisa Saja was chosen as the first single of the album and the theme song of
Brownies because the lyrics reflect the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI
demonstrates his skill in playing an accoustic guitar in Cinta Terakhir. Three
other brand new songs, Dilema, Jangan Bilang Pacarku, and Semua Orang Berhak
Mendapat Rasa Bahagia, give supporting nuances to the flow of the movie. GIGI
composed them by imagining how the scenes would look like based on the
screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo (the director) and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chatted, Budjana
expressed his interest in making a soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few
GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they created
with the movie.
Since GIGI could provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical
nuances to enrich the movie, the producers deemed it unnecessary to find other
musicians to complete the original soundtrack of Brownies.
Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramadhan
(bass player), and Gusti Erhandy (drums-stand-in player for Budhi Haryono) put
a lot of effort into this album. As a result, they're created a perfect blend of
movie and songs that make Brownies tastier.
It’s always fun to have a piece of brownies in your mouth but having it on your
stereo is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without a musical score and
Ost. of Brownies has proved it excellently.
