About This Album
The full-length album emerges from Indonesia’s vast, interconnected archipelago, a landmass spanning thousands of distinct islands that have nurtured centuries of cross-pollinating cultural and artistic traditions, creating one of the most dynamic creative landscapes for music makers anywhere in the world. Communities across every island have carried forward indigenous creative practices, while opening themselves up to external influences that arrived through trade, migration, and sustained cultural exchange, building a space where makers are free to pull from any number of reference points to craft work that feels entirely their own, unshackled from the rigid rules that govern more codified musical forms in other parts of the globe.
