Mbah Surip, the 70 something street reggae musician who shot to fame and ridiculous amount of fortune this past several months from obscurity thanks to his 20 year old song, “Tak Gendong,” passed away at 10:30 this morning before they could get him to the hospital after a possible heart attack. With thousands of Indonesians embracing Twitter this year, news of his death spread throughout the social networking service and by midday, Mbah Surip began trending on Twitter.
Love him or hate him, he will be missed.
