Yuyun Nabiela (January 15, 1964–July 13, 2025), also known as Jujun Nabiela or Yunita Ababiel, was an Indonesian dangdut singer. She became known for her 1999 song "Trauma."[1][2]
Career
Yunita began her professional music career in the late 1970s under the stage name Jujun N as a pop singer. Between 1979 and 1990, she released 12 pop albums and was also known during this period as Yuyun Nabiela. After shifting to the dangdut genre, she performed under the names Sriwahyuni and Yunita Irani.[1][3]
In 1997, she adopted the name Yunita Ababiel for the album Pertengkaran, with “Ababiel” taken from her husband's name. Her most commercially successful release was the 1999 album Trauma, which became a national hit.[1][2]

Yunita, the fourth of nine children, got engaged to Alik Ababiel, songwriter and leader of the 1970s rock band "Mountain Boys" (1974–1983), on June 29, 1979. The couple had six children together.[1]
Yunita died at her home in Depok, West Java, on July 13, 2025, at the age of 61,[4] from breast cancer[5] and a brain stem tumor.[1]
