Annie Landouw (also Landauw, 1913 – 17 August 1982) was an Indonesian ''keroncong'' singer and film actress. ==Biography== Landouw was born in Surakarta, Central Java, in 1913. She lost her sight following an extended illness as a child, and was not long afterwards adopted by her aunt and uncle. In 1927 she competed in – and won – her first singing competition, a Concours concert at a night fair in Surakarta. As a result, she was approached by Beka, a recording company, which signed her. She moved to Batavia (now Jakarta), the capital of the Dutch East Indies, soon afterwards and quickly rose in popularity. By 1938 Landouw had joined the NIROM radio troupe, singing ''keroncong''. The following year she joined Hugo Dumas' troupe Lief Java. During this period she became active in film. In 1938 she provided vocals for ''Fatima'', a production by Tan's Film; she provided vocals again for Tan's 1939 film ''Gagak Item'' (''Black Raven''). She made her onscreen debut later that year, with ''Siti Akbari''. In 1940 she appeared in two further films, ''Sorga Ka Toedjoe'' (''Seventh Heaven'') and ''Roekihati''. Landouw's prowess singing ''keroncong'' rendered her immensely popular. In 1940, the blind singer was scheduled for eye surgery. Her fans organised a fundraising campaign to help her pay for it, although ultimately Landouw refused the charity. After Indonesia's independence, Landouw continued singing; however, she acted in no further films. She died on 17 August 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annie Landouw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
