Gadis Ingusan

Gadis Ingusan (also released under the alternative title Untuk Sahabatku) is the debut studio album by Indonesian singer Rossa, released in 1988 by Pro-Sound. Recorded during her childhood, and released when she was ten years old, the album represents the earliest phase of Rossa’s professional recording career and has been discussed in multiple independent retrospective sources as a formative work preceding her later commercial breakthrough in the 1990s.

Initially, Rossa only accompanied her mother Eni Kusmiani for a vocal test at the Pro-Sound studio in Jelambar, West Jakarta. However, her playful singing using headphones caught the attention of Pro-Sound producer Budhy Paramita, who decided to create an album for her. Although the album did not achieve significant commercial success at the time of release, music journalists and biographical profiles published after Rossa’s rise to prominence frequently cite Gadis Ingusan as an important reference point in assessing her artistic development and early positioning within the Indonesian music industry.
