Burung Kakak Tua (The Cockatoo) ~An Indonesian Folk Song

Burung Kakak Tua (also known as The Cockatoo) is a fun and beautiful folk song from Indonesia that compares a beloved old parrot to grandma. The song has been recorded numerous times by children and adult singers throughout Malaysia and Indonesia, and is both a wonderful children's song for today's kids and cool addition to any singer's repertoire looking for awesome older Indonesian songs.

What I love best about this song are the giant leaps in the melody that show off both the high and low ranges of the voice. The melody is very catchy, and you'll find yourself singing along too long before you learn the words.

This video is dedicated to Izzy in South Florida. Izzy is a young musician and a fan of our videos, so I want to thank you for watching and I hope you like this video and learn to sing and play along!
