The Amboina Serenaders were a successful and popular group that did well in the Netherlands in the 1950s. Its members included Ming Luhulima, Rudi Wairata and Joyce Aubrey, the ex-wife of George de Fretes. They had a top ten hit in the Netherlands with "Klappermelk Met Suiker".
History
The Amboina Serenaders evolved out of the Mena Muria Minstrels, a group founded by Rudi Wairata in 1950.[1][2]
Line ups
The line up included George de Fretes's ex-wife Joyce Aubrey.[3][4] Another member of the group was Miing Luhulima.[5] In addition to Wairata, Luhulima and Aubrey, their 1953 line up also included Jack Salakory and Joop Sahanaya.[6] In that year, there was a disagreement of sorts within the group which caused founder Wairata to leave. From then onwards, the group was led by Luhulima.[7] In 1958, Aubrey left the band to join the Royal Hawaiian Minstrels which was a band led by her former husband George.[8][9] The group broke up some time after that.
Recordings
In 1955, they did well with "Goro Goro Né’".[10] The following year their single "Klappermelk Met Suiker" which was composed by Pierre Wijnnobel peaked at #9, spending 5 weeks in the charts.[11] The title of the song translates as "I want coconut milk with sugar.[12]
Later years
In 1981, founding member Rudi Wairata died.[13]
