Nationalistic and patriotic songs and songs that praise the ideology of Indonesia's first president Sukarno. The songs Re-So-Pim (Revolusi, Socialisme, Pimpinan Nasional) and Nasakom Bersatu were banned and the writer of the songs Subranto K Atmodjo spent time on the prison island Buru. He had also written the PKI's theme song Pujaan Kepada Partai. Atmodjo later converted to Christianity and wrote a number of spiritual songs which were allowed to be recorded....
