The Tragic Life of the "Poco – poco" Songwriter
Arie Sapulette, 58, the composer of "Poco-poco" song.
The loud voice of Arie Sapulette, 58, the composer of "Poco-poco" song, was heard clearly from the first floor even though he was alone in his dark room on the second floor. He was not singing. Arie was raving and angry. It was unknown who he spoke to, because he was alone in his room measuring 3 by 4 meters.
Arie has been suffering from schizophrenia for the last 18 years. When his song was used to accompany the massive “Poco-poco” dances joined by about 65,000 people to break the official Guinness World Record for Largest Line Dance (multiple venues) in Jakarta on Sunday (05/08/2018), Arie just locked himself in his room.
