This is one of Massada's greatest electric 'guitar songs' written by lead
guitarist Chris Latul back in 1979. The intrumental song Arumbai reflects,
albeit, in a greatly simplified manner, Massada's trade mark: principally
the characteristic instruments, such as congas, timbales, bongos drums and
numerous other percussion instruments. The very rythmic, swinging music of
Massada is also known as 'Latin Rock' or 'Percussion Rock'.
Try it and experience the restful inspiration of the rythm. Great song!

"...Sioh, air matah tumpa,
kalau kami bersama-sama,
ingat Tanah-air ku tjinta..."
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MASSADA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
