Inul Daratista Indonesia

Biography

Inul Daratista (born Ainur Rokhimah, 21 January 1979 in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia) is a dangdut singer and performance artist. 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. She became nationally famous after a televised concert in Jakarta in 2003. Her dance moves, which she calls Goyang Inul or Ngebor (lit. 'drilling'), quickly became the source of controversy due to her gyrating hip motions.
