Inul Daratista (born Ainur Rokhimah on 21 January 1979) is a dangdut singer and performance artist from Pasuruan , East Java , Indonesia . She became nationally famous in 2003, and is known for her suggestive style of dancing that caused major controversy in Indonesia. Inul is a corrupted version of Ainur, and the singer's childhood pet name. As she began her musical career singing in a rock band, she adopted the stage name Daratista.

Inul Daratista rose to national prominence after a televised January 2003 concert in Jakarta . Her dance moves, which she calls Goyang Inul , goyang-gerudi , or ngebor (lit. 'drilling'), quickly became the source of controversy due to her gyrating hip motions. Some conservative Muslim organizations such as the Indonesian Muslim Council ( Indonesian : Majelis Muslimin Indonesia, abbreviated MMI) called for a ban on her concerts. [1] She was cited as a reason to pass a national anti- pornography bill that was drafted during the height of the controversy in mid-2003 and became a law in October 2008. [2] Inul's dance style was also criticised by other dangdut singers, most vocally Rhoma Irama , for "corrupting" the genre, though these criticisms did little to dent her popularity.
