The history and meaning of the song Ibu Kita Kartini by WR SupratmanRA Kartini was declared a national hero on May 2, 1964. Even so, this Jepara-born woman has often been talked about for years before.
The story goes back to the Indonesian Women's Congress on December 22, 1929. In the event, one of the attendees was a young man named Wage Rudolf Supratman (WR Supratman).
The forum discussed a Javanese woman named Raden Ajeng (RA) Kartini who was said to be a great person. In his only 25 years of life, Kartini's correspondence was successful in inspiring a Dutch scholar named Mr. Jacques Henri Abendanon.
Abendanon is a law graduate who was the Director of the Ministry of Teaching and Crafts in the Dutch East Indies. He also compiled a book entitled Door Duisternis tot Licht in 1911 from RA Kartini's letters.
At that time Supratman wanted to know more about Kartini. He then studied the book by Abendanon.
In the song he composed, Supratman looked so impressed and raised Kartini's figure. He considered RA Kartini as a person who has a very important role for all women in his nation.
