About This Album
World Music as a critical and creative category serves to center the diverse, culturally rooted sonic traditions that emerge from communities across the globe, framing work that grows out of specific regional identities for audiences that might otherwise never encounter the depth of creativity that thrives outside of dominant global mainstream music spheres. The genre’s scope is intentionally broad enough to hold the full range of creative expressions that originate from any nation’s unique cultural landscape, and no region brings as much varied, layered depth to the genre as Indonesia, an archipelago nation whose vast geographic and cultural breadth creates a rich foundation for the body of work that represents the country’s contributions to the global World Music space.
