/Translation of lyrics from experimental Indonesian band Senyawa/

Senyawa, the experimental Indonesian band formed by Rully Shabara and 
Wukir Suryadi, does not sound like anyone else… the combination of 
Wukir’s handmade instruments and Rully’s other-worldly vocals, 
channeling Javanese melodies with the intensity of punk and metal, with 
an avant-garde / DIY approach to constant experimentation and boundary 
pushing.

Over the past ten years Senyawa have continually developed their sound, 
shifting in relation with the instruments Wukir builds. Unfortunately 
for people who do not understand the various Indonesian dialects used, 
while you can appreciate their music and performances, you can 
appreciate the aurality of Senyawa – the sheer force and wonder of their 
music – but not the lyrical content.

This project is intended to rectify that, translating Rully’s lyrics for 
Senyawa into English for the first time.
