About this Song
Rooted in the rich tapestry of cultural expression that defines Indonesian creative life, Tiga Bencana sits within the global category of world music, a classification that brings regional sonic traditions from across the globe into broader circulation, while centering the specific cultural contexts that give each recording its unique meaning and purpose. Unlike mainstream music categories that often prioritize commercial appeal and broad cross-cultural accessibility at the expense of specific cultural context, world music was built on the core principle of honoring the origins of the work it amplifies, pushing back against a long history of the Western-dominated global music industry erasing, appropriating, or sidelining non-Western creative work that did not fit narrow ideas of what could resonate with mass audiences.
