One of the Indonesian Composer, Gesang passed away Thursday shortly after 6 p.m. May 20, 2010 in Surakarta, Central Java, after being hospitalized since last week. He was admitted to  PKU Muhammdiyah Hospital on May 12 with a digestive problem, and had eventually  died of asphyxiation and heart failure. He is the composer of beautiful song, Bengawan Solo (Solo River) that had been a famous song until translated to a lot of foreign language. In Asia, Bengawan Solo accepted in China and Japan. More over in Japan, Japan build a reading place for children named Gesang that placed on near of Bengawan River.
