About this Song
Wali, the Indonesian creative entity behind the sound Harga Diriku, creates work that falls under the umbrella classification of Music/Other, a categorization within intentional catalogue frameworks built to hold space for all sonic creations that do not fit neatly within the more rigid, commercially codified genre buckets that dominate most mainstream music organizing systems. Too often, the genre labels that structure global music catalogues are constructed around the norms and histories of Western popular and traditional music, leaving little room for the vast array of regional creative practices that emerge from communities across the global south, including Indonesia’s archipelagic network of creative cultures that have nurtured distinct sonic lineages spanning thousands of years.
