"In addition, as an art space, ruangrupa also opened its arms to support the musicians / bands / performers in organizing music concert with artistic approach. RRREC FEST - ruangrupa Record Music Festival is a continuation of the activities adjacent to the world of music, celbrating it as a form of art and part of contemporary culture of Indonesia and neighboring countries" ( quoted from RREC Fest #2)

This event wants to celebrate and capturing the energy of a generation within the music culture. RRREC FEST #2 also intends to showcase local independent musicians and bands with particular things that been curated by The Secret Agents, to more people; as well as other Asian and international bands.


RREC FEST 32 is held in three days, where in the third day all the band performances will be divided in 5 locations. We, some of the sketchers in Jakarta (and lucky us, we have guest from Nunukan) went to the third day and were sketching in 3 locations; Kedai Tjikini, 2nd floor and rooftop of Tan Ek Tjoan and TIM (Taman Ismail Marzuki).

KERONCONG, MUSIC OF PEACE

Do you know what "Keroncong" is? If you don't...please find it in wikipedia. Mr. Wiki will give you much more information, better and more accurate than mine hahaha...

It's an Indonesian music style that was developed from Portuguese music. A lot of young people at my age considered it as an old fashioned kind of music. But I really like it. So peaceful....and relaxing.

Please...just try to listen, and you will find that I was telling you the truth.
