Andy Tielman (30 May 1936 – 10 November 2011)〔( NOS.nl National news website. ) Retrieved 11 November 2011.〕〔(NRC.nl newspaper website. ) Retrieved 11 November 2011.〕 was an influential Indo (Eurasian) artist, recognised as the "godfather" of Indorock, the style of rock and roll played by Indo artists in the 1950s and 1960s.〔 Anto, Arief ''Konser Terakhir Duta Indorock: Andy Tielman.'' Roling Stone Magazine Indonesia article dated 4 July 2011. Online: ( Article in Rolling Stone Indonesia. ) Retrieved 24 May 2012.〕 He is considered one of the most important figures in Dutch popular music,〔 and "defied the notion that early rock and roll was a phenomenon of white and black musicians from America". He was known for his wide vocal range (5 octaves) and virtuoso guitar playing as well as his showmanship. Many Dutch musicians, including Jan Akkerman, Barry Hay, and Herman Brood have cited him as major influences.〔 Tielman is credited with releasing the first Dutch rock and roll single, in 1958, and led the first Dutch rock band with international appeal, the Tielman Brothers, in a career that spanned seven decades, from the mid 1950s to his death in 2011. During Tielman's heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, the Tielman Brothers were hailed as the best live act in Europe and received the highest fees. In 2005 he was awarded a Royal decoration in the Order of Orange Nassau. In 2011 Tielman died of gastric cancer. ==Dutch East Indies== Andy Tielman was born in Makassar, Celebes, Dutch East Indies on 30 May 1936. Both his father, a KNIL captain named Herman Tielman, and his mother, Flora Laurentine Hess, were Indo-European. Aside from Andy, the couple had 5 children: Reggy, Phonton, Loulou (Lawrence), and Jane (Janette Loraine). When the Japanese invaded the Indies, the elder Tielman was imprisoned; Andy and his siblings were taken care of by his mother. He later recalled "When war came the world was broken. My whole world just fell apart."〔Original Dutch text: ''"...toen de oorlog kwam ging de wereld kapot. Mijn hele wereld viel in duigen."'' Rufi, Max ''De muziek heeft ons op de been gehouden'' (Weekly magazine: "Hallo", dated 25 February 2010.) See online transcript: () Retrieved 11 November 2011.〕 After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the family was reunited. By that time, Andy and his siblings were performing jazz standards at private functions using the musical training their father had given them. Within half a year they were performing throughout nascent Indonesia, which had proclaimed its independence after the Japanese surrender. The siblings' repertoire included both American and traditional Indonesian music. By the time the Netherlands formally recognised Indonesia's independence in 1949, the Tielman siblings had become a household name; they even performed for President Sukarno at his palace in Jakarta. In 1951 they were introduced to the song "Guitar Boogie" by Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. In an interview Tielman recalled: "This was the first song which my brothers and I converted into rock ‘n roll by adding drums to it." The band began playing rock and roll music by Les Paul, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bill Haley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Gene Vincent. Aside from the family band, Andy also played with Dolf de Vries' band The Starlights in Jakarta, as well as Freddy Wehner's Hawaiian band in Sumatra.〔( Tielman Brothers webpage. )〕 In the late 1950s anti-Dutch rules and regulations increased, leading up to an escalation of the Dutch New Guinea conflict; it was feared that the Bersiap violence would be repeated. Dutch businesses and other properties were seized, Dutch social services were stopped, Dutch schools were banned and the last Dutch nationals were expelled.〔Meijer, Hans ''In Indië geworteld. De 20ste eeuw.'' (Publisher Bert Bakker, Amsterdam, 2004) P.331-371 ISBN 90-351-2617-3〕 Anti-Dutch sentiments also affected Indo celebrities, including the Tielman siblings, and when they were pressured into forgoing their Dutch nationality the family repatriated to the Netherlands.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Tielman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
