Biography
Inul Daratista's hip-rolling Goyang Inul made her a national flashpoint in Indonesia. Born Ainur Rokhimah in Pasuruan, East Java on 21 January 1979, she adopted the stage name "Daratista" after beginning her musical career in a rock band. She rose to national prominence after a televised January 2003 concert in Jakarta, where her suggestive dancing style—which she calls Goyang Inul, goyang-gerudi, or ngebor ('drilling')—became instantly controversial. The gyrating hip motions sparked calls for concert bans from conservative Muslim organizations like the Indonesian Muslim Council (MMI) and were cited as a reason to draft a national anti-pornography bill in mid-2003, which became law in October 2008. Even other dangdut singers, most vocally Rhoma Irama, criticized her style for "corrupting" the genre, though the backlash barely slowed her popularity. Daratista works as a dangdut singer and performance artist, roles that demand sustained physical presence and public engagement. An Aquarius born in 1979, she carries life-path number 3, associated with creative expression and communication—fitting for an artist who turned bodily movement into a cultural statement.
