Dewi Sastaviyana Panduwinata, better known by her stage name Vina Panduwinata, is an Indonesian singer and songwriter. The song "Kumpul Bocah" is cited as her signature song. Her song "Burung Camar" was listed by Rolling Stone Indonesia as the 28th-best Indonesian song of all time.
Panduwinata was born in Bogor, West Java, on 6 August 1959 to Raden Panduwinata and Albertine Supit; she was the eighth of ten children. Her father was a diplomat who was first stationed in India, but later went to West Germany from 1975 to 1979. While in Germany, she recorded an album for RCA Records entitled Java, which included four tracks; it was released in 1978.
After returning to Indonesia from Germany in 1981, Panduwinata made her debut Indonesian album, Citra Biru (Blue Image). The album was produced by Addie MS and featured songs written by numerous songwriters, including James F. Sundah and Dodo Zakaria; it was released on Jackson Records and Tapes. This was followed by Citra Pesona (Enchanting Image). In 1982 Panduwinata went to Thailand to perform at the Bangkok International Film Festival together with Roy Marten, Melky Goeslaw, and Dewi Yull.
In 1983 Panduwinata was invited by Chrisye to perform "Kisah Insani" ("Humans' Tale"), a duet on Chrisye's album Sendiri (Alone). In Chrisye's biography, Panduwinata said that she was surprised and shocked by the invitation. The following year she released her third studio album, Citra Ceria (Bright Image), which included the single "Di Dadaku Ada Kamu" ("In My Chest There is You").
Two years later, Panduwinata sung "Burung Camar" ("Seagull") at the 1985 Indonesian Pop Song Festival; she went on to sing it at the World Popular Song Festival in Japan. Panduwinata released several further albums, including Cinta (Love; 1985), Cium Pipiku (Kiss My Cheek; 1987), Wow! (1989), and Rasa Sayang Itu Ada (That Loving Feeling is There; 1992).
On 8 November 2001, Panduwinata performed at the Divas of Southeast Asia concert held in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta together with Indonesian singers Krisdayanti and Titi DJ, Filipino singer Kuh Ledesma, and Malaysian singers Siti Nurhaliza, Fauziah Latiff, and Sheila Majid.
