Mencetak Sawah

 

 

Iwan Fals’ poetic lyrics always remind us with images of Indonesia. To some of you who are not familiar with Iwan Fals but perhaps have heard of music legends like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, might find their way of singing rather comparable. Iwan Fals is a storyteller that represents the true voice of Indonesians. I found some of his songs on the net and I am enchanted by how real and abyss his emotions are towards the hardships of our fellow brothers and sisters. 

RIP Sho and Nick

 

Sho Ma, a promising young artist, was found dead on Wednesday in his Queens apartment from an apparent suicide. He was 24 years old. For many years, he coped with schizophrenia, and struggled to lift himself from its debilitating condition. It was a struggle that he consciously fought, imbuing it in his artwork.Tragically, it was a struggle that he lost.
