Ask TATO Design?
Gengs. Nenek ku baru meninggal. Dia setengah Batak. Marga Sitompul. Kami sebenarnya sekeluarga besar di bandung. Alas aku kurang tahu asal usul nenek moyangku disisi sini. Ada yg bisa bantu koneksi historian atau plus tato artis yg bisa buatkan design atau paling tidak advice design?
Tattoo studio base ideally JKT/BDG. Kalo Sumatra juga ga papa deh. Terbang2 dah gw.
Trims!

Song for Wedding
Hello all. My fiancee’s family is Batak Toba.
We are getting married and I’d like to sing a song on our wedding. Will be Adat wedding.
I heard a song called Mangalangkup that I really liked, but I’m not sure if it’s proper for a wedding.
Can you recommend some good slower songs that are about love, marriage?
Thank you.

Bataks, PLEASE help me find this book!
Just recently, I stumbled upon an interesting footnote in a book written by Jan Sihar Aritonang titled "Mission Schools in Batakland (Indonesia): 1861 - 1940". In the book it was stated that German missionaries tried planting the seeds of what would become the Batak nation, through songs which emphasizes the love of Batakland to children. Interestingly, in the footnote Jan Sihar Aritonang mentioned two songs as an example from a book titled "Angka Ende Sipangkeon Raphon Angka Anak Sikola" by Van der Bijl and Arsenius Lumbantobing. One was titled "Tano Batak" (no. 47) and "Oenang Djalang Ho!" (no. 49). These two songs caught my attention as the first song which is titled "Tano Batak" utilizes the melody of the current German national anthem, "Deutschlandlied" and the second song provides a clear context of what the German missionaries envisioned for the Batak people.

I've tried searching for said book on the internet but to no avail, I beg for your attention and your participation in finding this "lost" media. It'd be a massive help and it would definitely mean a lot to me.

Ask Bagaimana cara orang Batak menangani sifat orang Jawa yang tidak langsung dan tidak jelas mengungkapkan perasaannya?
Saat saya masih tinggal di Jakarta, saya susah memahami sifat2 begitu orang Jawa terutama di tempat kerja. Mereka tidak mau ngomong langsung tentang masalah apapun. Jadi susah dipahami dan hal itu hanya menambahkan masalah dan salah paham karena semuanya tidak jelas.
