Inul Daratista (born Ainur Rokhimah on 21 January 1979) is a
dancing that caused major controversy in Indonesia. Inul is a corrupted version of Ainur, and the singer's childhood pet name. As she began her musical career singing in a rock
band, she adopted the stage name Daratista.
Inul Daratista rose to national prominence after a televised January 2003 concert in
Muslim organizations such as the Indonesian Muslim Council (Indonesian: Majelis Muslimin Indonesia, abbreviated MMI) called for a ban on her concerts.[1] She was cited as a reason to pass a national anti-pornography bill that was drafted during the height of the controversy in mid-2003 and became a law in October 2008.[2] Inul's dance style was also criticised by other dangdut singers, most vocally Rhoma Irama
, for "corrupting" the genre, though these criticisms did little to dent her popularity.
Name
Inul's birth name, Ainur Rokhimah, means "eyes of blessed love".[3] Her stage name, Inul Daratista, is often mistranslated as "the girl with breasts".[4][5]: 390 (footnote #27)
Influences
Inul's idols include dangdut singer Rita Sugiarto and pop singers Paramitha Rusady, Shakira, and Jennifer Lopez.[5]: 370
Personal life
At 16 years old and a freshman in high school, Inul married Adam Suseno, then 21, on 29 May 1995.[6] The couple's first child, Yusuf Ivander Damares, was born on 19 May 2009.
