<i>Translation of lyrics from experimental Indonesian band Senyawa</i><br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
This project is intended to rectify that, translating Rully’s
lyrics for Senyawa into English for the first time. <br>
