Seakan was lost in the era, so a name Lokananta, the less knowing, let alone know the first Indonesian music record company belonging to the country located in Solo City. Lokananta was pioneered two Radio employees of the Republic of Indonesia (RRI) Surakarta, Oetojo Soemowidjojojo and Raden Ngabehi Soegoto Soerjodipoero in 1950. However, the first black platean factory was officially established under the name of the Black Plate Factory of Lokananta, the Javanese Radio Ministry of Lighting RI in Surakarta on October 29, 1956.
Around the forty thousand pieces of black dishes are now stored in shelves in one of the sized rooms in the Lokananta complex from the regional songs, entertainment songs (pop), keroncong, wayang, Javanese gending, to state speech. It has not included thousands of undataual and unshakable black dishes.
Now Lokananta is the condition between life and death, no longer receives adequate fund support from the Government. Despite the inauguration of recording activities, tape and remastering multipliers (transfer recording content in the reel tape that is still in the form of analog to digital data on the computer) is still routinely done.

Iron is indeed. The history of Lokanantalah is a great place of artists such as Gesang and Waldjinah theym his work. And there was already Lokananta’s concern as one of Indonesia’s music history assets that are observed and conserved;br/>
