Episode 74: Classic Rock Special and Jason sign-off

The genre that has the greatest staying power in Indonesia isn't gamelan or keroncong, it is Classic Rock. In this episode we feature three artists that keep it alive and kicking: The Wheels with "Gadis Malam", Orphan with "Romeo and Julie", and Betrayer with "Cinta Yang Kembali".

This episode marks the end of Season Three of New Music from Indonesia, and also is the last one hosted by Jason Tedjasukmana. All of us here at Equinox DMD give Jason a big shout out for all of his hard work promoting artists and music from Indonesia. Tune in next week for a new season, a new format, a new logo, a new host and a new audio engineer. 11:52, 5.6MB.

This week Jason travels to Bali to attend the album launch of one of Bali's hottest bands, Navicula. Lead singer Robbie talks about the scene in Kuta amidst the all-night rock concert. We feature two songs performed live from their album "Beautiful Rebel": "Like a Motorbike" and "Mawar & Melati".
