Ariel Peterpan in live performance at SABUGA (Sasana Budaya Ganesha ITB). This picture was shot by my friend Dhesman using his camera phone. It was the last tour before Peterpan will change its name.
More about Peterpan Band I Quoted from Wikipedia:
Peterpan is a multi-award winning Indonesian pop rock band currently consisting of Ariel, Ukie, Loekman and Reza. They are well known for their simple lyrics and catchy beats and Ariel's voice.
The band's popular song Tak Bisakah was allegedly plagiarised by the Indian music director Pritam for the movie Woh Lamhe to be used in the song Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai. The song went on to become a major hit in 2006 in India, and it soon surfaced that the tune of the song was partly copied from Peterpan's original Tak Bisakah. Although there have been many claims of plagiarism by many musicians and fans of Peterpan, and that Peterpan had made the original version, the controversy did not become a headline-grabber, and it is still not clear whether Peterpan was compensated, or whether Pritam bought the song off. Both songs was eventually sung by Peterpan and Abhijeet sequentially in the first Asian Idol in 2007.
Another popular song Di Belakangku was also plagiarised by the same Indian music director Pritam for the movie Jab We Met to be used in the song Aao Milo Chale. It's uncertain whether legal action has been taken by the group against the Indian composer.
