I have to promote this Indonesian teen movie because my sister is acting in it hahaha… She didn’t play the leading role, only a small part, but I guess it’s quite ok since I haven’t seen the movie myself hahaha… She’s getting there… aren’t you sis?? She acted already in some movies, and her role is getting bigger all the time… hahaha… Ok, her name is Ruth Damaihati Pakpahan, preferred to be called Iyuth. I think, my family is getting into this art thingy…. hahaha… First it was my sister, then my dad also launched his own Batak songs album… Here’s a piece of the story…
Muchtar Pakpahan Launch Album Batak
Jumat. Adalah seorang Muchtar Pakpahan, aktivis kaum buruh dan rakyat kecil yang sempat dijebloskan ke penjara karena perjuangannya membela kaum buruh dan rakyat kecil. Setelah sebulan berada di LP Semarang, tahun 1994 ia dipindahkan ke LP Tanjung Gusta, Medan. Terpaan hidup selama di hotel prodeo serta mirisnya kehidupan semasa orde baru, membangkitkan tekad Muchtar untuk menuangkan seluruh pengalamannya masa itu dalam bait-bait lagu.
Bait-bait lagu tersebut terangkum dalam album Penjara Tanjung Gusta dan Paborhat Boru yang dirilis tahun 1996. Namun album yang masih dalam format kaset dan berbahasa Indonesia itu dicekal sebelum sampai ke pasaran. Jaksa Agung mengumumkan bahwa album tersebut dilarang beredar dengan tuduhan subversive. Alasan lainnya, syair-syair di album tersebut terlalu menyinggung pemerintahan orde baru kala itu.
Tak kurang semangat, Muchtar kembali merilis album yang sama hanya saja dalam Bahasa Batak. Album yang launch pada 23 Oktober 2007 di Auditorium RRI, Jakarta ini memperoleh sambutan yang luar biasa. Bahkan album tersebut memiliki izin edar resmi, meski kalau ditelaah syair di album teranyar ini tak jauh beda dengan pendahulunya.
Album yang berisi 9 lagu berbahasa Batak dan sebuah lagu dengan Bahasa Indonesia ini juga didukung beberapa musisi seperti Trio Ambisi, Trio Walfare dan Tagor Tampubolon. Kesepuluh lagu di album ini adalah Penjara Tanjung Gusta, Untukmu Buruh, Ucok Res, Dalihan Na Tolu, Penganggur, Paborhat Boru, Anak Hasian, Poda, Tu Ngolum Buruh dan Boru Panggoaran. Sebagian besar syair di album ini merupakan ciptaan Muchtar sendiri selama di LP Tanjung Gusta.
Hadir dalam launching album Penjara Tanjung Gusta dan Paborhat Boru ini di antaranya Menteri Pariwisata, Jero Wacik, Akbar Tanjung, Dubes Belanda Nikolous Van Dam, Letjen Cornel Simbolon, Bupati dari wilayah kabupaten di sekitar Danau Toba dan perwakilan beberapa partai politik. Muchtar sendiri berharap agar pesan yang ada di setiap syair di albumnya tersebut bisa sampai ke masyarakat.
Bersamaan dengan peluncuran albumnya, Yayasan Muchtar Pakpahan Center (YMPC) yang didirikan pada 25 Juni 2007 juga mendeklarasikan kegiatan besarnya untuk menyelenggarakan Pesta Seni Rakyat Batak Kawasan Danau Toba pada 5 Januari 2008 mendatang.
Menurut Mahadi Manik selaku Ketua Umum YMPC, lewat program-program YMPC diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangsih positif dalam meningkatkan kepariwisataan di kawasan sekitar Danau Toba, Sumatera Utara.
