Kasih Kedua Ibu emerges as a sound work rooted in the Indonesian creative landscape, classified within world music, a category that has long centered creative output from regions across the globe that carries distinct cultural specificity tied to the places and communities that shape it. To frame this work within its core context means recognizing that Indonesian creative practices stretch across thousands of islands, each with their own longstanding traditions of sound making that feed into the broader body of work that falls under the world music umbrella, carrying forward creative lineages that are passed between generations, adapted and reimagined to fit the evolving needs of the communities that create and engage with them.
