Episode 50: World Music Special [enhanced]

"World music" is quite a complicated musical genre in that nearly everything from non-Western countries is lumped into it regardless of how the music actually sounds. We have put together our own World music special this week to demonstrate how we classify the genre. Jason features three separate artists: the up-and-coming dangdut singer Rere, the funky bamboo-playing West Java group Sambasunda and the famous Ubiet performing one of her haunting solos. 13:01, 6.6 MB

Further to our competition last week, we are pleased to report that 22-year old Eugenio Jaenada from Barcelona, Spain won the iTunes gift voucher for correctly naming all the lovely ladies from Bandung we have had on the show. Eugenio works in an ad agency on The Diagonal and has been listening to the New Music from Indonesia podcast for the past six months. Nice work Eugenio and enjoy the music.
