[Gesang Martohartono at the JVC Studio (1994) Age76]
Quite some time ago I wrote in this blog on the topic of keroncong. The most famous song is "Bengawan Solo" by Gesang.
Sadly, Gesang passed away at a ripe old age of 92, yesterday, Thursday 20 May 2010.
May he rest in peace.
As a tribute to Gesang, below is probably one of his final impromptu renditions of the greatest evergreen "Bengawan Solo":

Takziah..kehilangan insan seni yang hebat. Salam dari Malaysia
He still live on, as far as I am concerned, as the song Bengawan Solo and Bengawan River are forever there.
Humanity will be grateful to Gesang for his contribution during his lifetime.
