“Living legend” is a term that gets thrown around a lot for performers who manage to stick around long enough to see a gushing career tribute. Titik Puspa, the singer-song writer who started her career more than half a century ago as radio star, has earned the honor (her recently published authorized biography is titled A Legendary Diva). The Grande dame of Indonesian entertainment, which recently moved to a swank South Jakarta apartment, is a survivor who has come through the 15-minutes fame limitation to remain one of the country’s most popular performers.
This following below about several dialogues with Titik Puspa.
Childhood ambition?
I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, because there were a lot of children around and I wanted to help out my parents. I passed the test and had some classes, and the children were always laughing and happy. But I had been taking part in singing contests for a long time, and winning them, and I got to thinking it would be better to entertain more people than just a classroom.
You can find anymore on my next post. Just wait for it.
