Annie Landouw

Annie Landouw (also Landauw, 1913 – 17 August 1982) was an Indonesian keroncong singer and film actress.

In 1927 she competed in – and won – her first singing competition, a Concours concert at a night fair in Surakarta.

She moved to Batavia (now Jakarta), the capital of the Dutch East Indies, soon afterwards and quickly rose in popularity.

[5] Her fans organised a fundraising campaign to help her pay for it, although ultimately Landouw refused the charity.

[1] Music scholar Peter Keppy suggests that, because of her popularity as a keroncong singer, Landouw may have influenced the character of Yah in Armijn Pane's 1940 novel Belenggu;[6] in the novel, Yah is famous as a keroncong singer under the stage name Siti Hayati.
