If the Tokèh…
“If the Tokèh…” is a lively musical piece recorded by Rudi Wairata and his band, the Amboina Serenaders, under RCA Records. The song features lyrics and music by Pierre Wijnnobel and was published between 1950 and 1954 by Nagel Editions. The title refers to the distinctive sound of the tokèh, a tropical gecko, adding a playful, local flair to the composition. The sheet music also visually reflects the musical and cultural identity of Indonesia through its depiction of musicians and traditional instruments.
