Aural Archipelago / Dijf Sanders

Indonesian elektro pop

Dive into an evening with two sides of Indonesian music: traditional masters and a current take with samples and beats.

Aural Archipelago

Aural Archipelago is a multi-media ethnography project by Palmer Keen, an American ethnomusicologist based out of Bandung in West Java, Indonesia. For Europalia Palmer choose three of his favorite artists he encountered.

These Indonesian masters bring together their traditions for a concert full of etnic lutes, heart-whole voices and eternal drums.
