Through Facebook, I just found out that Anto Praboe, one of the founding members of the eminent Indonesian band Discus, passed away last May.

Those who know Discus's albums will be aware of Praboe's masterly playing on various wind instruments.

I dearly hope the band will carry on and treat us to a new album sooner rather than later.

Terrible news. Definitely didn't hear about this.
 
I share in your hopes for a new album soon!
 
RIP AP.

 Oh this is really sad news...Cry

I have been recently wondering what happened to Discus after the fabulous Tot licht album.
If Discus continues to release music and palying concerts they won't be same band without Anto Praboe.
