Adrianna TanIndonesia has so many excellent female music groups that it seems pointless to even call them a female music group

The Indonesian music scene is huge. One of my faves.
The Rolling Stone's former producer did a bunch of projects producing Indonesian music on CDs for KFC (yes!) and he said they sold half a mil copies.. every month.
Anyway he's been there long term and doing some pretty interesting work with local acts. He's found it to be a very innovative and vibrant scene, and I agree.

Weltbilder: Jung, laut, Frau – Mit Metal und Hijab nach Wacken - hier anschauen
Sie sind muslimisch, weiblich und verdammt laut: Voice of Baceprot! Firda, Widi und Siti aus einem kleinen Dorf in Westjava, Indonesien, spielen Heavy-Metal vom Feinsten. Und sind längst weltweit erfolgreich. Millionen klicken ihre Videos im Netz, sie traten 2022 in Wacken auf, touren durch Europa und die USA. Wie haben sie das geschafft? Was bewegt sie? Wie lebt man seinen Traum? Filmemacher Philipp Abresch, lange Zeit Korrespondent im ARD-Studio Singapur, kennt die drei jungen Frauen seit Teenagerzeiten und hat ihren sensationellen Aufstieg verfolgt und begleitet.
Leo Schuldiner🤘🏼@skinnylatte :O a good friend of mine haa this grindcore-extreme metal band and he works with a visual artist from Indonesia for develop their album covers. He tells me that in Indonesia there is a huge extreme metal scene, lots of bands and a lot of other professional artists who work in the music industry!!!
@leoschuldiner23 yeah there is such a range. they also do amazing jazz and folksy stuff
JP@skinnylatte Oh that’s gonna be pretty interesting to check out, ty for highlighting it :D
johan@skinnylatte it’s fascinating. There’s also a huge cover scene where they sing popular songs in Bahasa. I’m sure you know. My ex knew all my 70’s songs, just not the original version 😂
Todd Miller@skinnylatte What? Wow that is weird.
@tmiller i mean they produced good, indie-ish music. but it was distributed through kfc.
