Found two pre-1966 (The Suharto Years) track by prime 1960s Indonesian crooner Bing Slamet with the first one being a calypso-tastic, bongo-licious and conga-delic track which unfortunately can't be embedded. Fear not, click here for a quick access YouTube link.
The only other track of his on YouTube seems to be this 1965 Javaneese slow jazz-folk track. More interestingly, legend has it that this track was the (un)official anthem for the Indonesian Communist Party which will always mean controversy in that(this) part of the world .
Great track to sample though, and check out the still picture used for the video:
