Asam kareng is traditional cuisine in Aceh. It's natural ingridients makes this cuisine loveable indeed by Acehnese.
The song of Asam Kareng that I cover on this video is originally belong to a local indie band in Aceh, Jeulatang. This band is part of Komunitas KANOT BU where I also one of member or we call it, Jamaa'ah of this art community.
Asam Kareng is also the first Acehnese Folksong which used English as the lyrics. Actually this song combines both Acehnese and English as the lyrics.
Here is the lyrics of the song...
Nyo tuan Jak u Banda Aceh
Bek le neupreh singoh lusa
Pakat mandum rakan ngon wareh
Abeh ube abeh asai troh teuka
If you want to go to Banda Aceh
Don't need to wait till tomorrow
Get your friends and get your family
Get all the prices, just come get in here
Bileh Kareng, tapeh asam
Asam sunti, Campli cina
Peh tapeh tapeh tapeh tapeh
Asam Kareng
Cuba neuci cuba Cuba rasa
Mangat Kon le hana dua...
