JAKARTA - Singer Rama Aiphama passed away today, March 11. Rama's relative, Sam Alatas, delivered this sad news to a number of media.

This singer who was born on September 17, 1956, died at the age of 63. The plan is that the body will be buried at the Al Muchdar Islamic Cemetery (TPI), Cimanggis, Jakarta.

This dangdut and keroncong wing of the Malay singer became popular in the 90s. At that time, Rama Aiphama appeared with an eccentric fashion choice. One of his characteristics is a hat with a unique shape that extends at the top. The choice of color also complements the style.

Regarding sound, don't doubt the singer whose real name is Mohammad Alaydrus in singing. A total of nine albums have been released during his musical career.

However, one thing that changed his career was when he re-sang the song Dinda Bestari which was released in 1995. The song made by Mus Mulyadi succeeded in bringing Rama Aiphama's career to soaring.

This Arab and Gorontalo mixed singer also often combines the disco genre in his songs, namely in the album Keroncong Disco Reggae and Keroncong Disco Reggae Vol. 2 in 1996.

The last album he released was Keroncong Jaipong Dangdut in 2003. Like his album, Rama changed his record production a lot since starting his career until his last with EMI Music Indonesia in 2001.
