Penyanyi Dangdut Dipatok Ular

Dangdut is a popular genre of music in Indonesia, known for its catchy rhythms and lyrics that often reflect everyday life. Among the many singers in the genre, there are some who have earned a reputation for their unique styles and voices. One such singer is Inul Daratista, who has been dubbed the ‘queen of dangdut’ by her fans. However, she is also known for being subjected to an unusual superstition among some fans of the genre – the ‘ular’ or ‘snake’ curse.

According to the superstition, any dangdut singer who becomes too popular and earns too much money will be ‘dipatok ular’ or ‘bitten by a snake’. This is said to bring bad luck to the singer, causing their career to falter or even come to an end. Inul Daratista, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, was one of the singers who was believed to have been cursed by the ‘ular’.

Despite the curse, Inul continued to perform and release new music. She became known for her unique dance style, which involved shaking her hips in a way that some critics saw as suggestive. This led to controversy and even threats of violence against Inul, who was accused of promoting ‘immorality’ through her performances.

Despite the obstacles she faced, Inul continued to push the boundaries of the dangdut genre and became a beloved figure among many fans. She has won numerous awards for her music and performances, and has even ventured into acting and hosting television shows.

The ‘ular’ curse is just one of many superstitions that are common in Indonesia, where belief in the supernatural is still prevalent in many communities. While some may dismiss the curse as mere superstition, it is clear that it has had a real impact on the careers of some dangdut singers.

In the end, however, it is the talent and dedication of the artists themselves that ultimately determines their success in the music industry. Inul Daratista is just one example of a singer who has overcome superstition and adversity to become a true icon of the dangdut genre, beloved by fans all across Indonesia and beyond.
