There’s a word in Malay and Indonesian to describe the kind of emo power ballad we love in that part of the world: ‘jiwang’ in Malay and ‘galau’ in Indonesian.

It’s the kind of music that makes emo kids everywhere seem like teenybopper pop music people, because it sticks a thing in your guts and twists it. With lyrics like: ‘my own heartbeat wounds my soul’

Or ‘throw away all the poetry between us, let God destroy me’

I love this video "Setia Perpaduan"! This song is sung in the various languages spoken in Malaysia, which included the Malay, Tamil, Mandarin, bahasa Iban, Dusun, Semai, Punjabi and even Thai, apparently.

My favorite hashtag is #PlaylistSEA, where folks from Southeast Asia share our music (mostly with each other). I know a lot of Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai music but almost nothing about Filipino or Vietnamese, so it’s nice to learn

My very first entry for #PlaylistSEA : 'Sampai Rembulan dan Kembali' by #RezaAvanluna .

In English, the song title can be translated as 'To the Moon and Back'. The melody is very calming, the vocals are top notch too! The lyrics are deep as well...

Not a song but a classic comedy recording.

The band Keubitbit hails from #Indonesia and is known for Aceh Ethnic Music. In 2020, Keubitbit won the Ami Awards as the best world music production work for the song "Saban Sabee."

This song, Malahayati, is about Aceh’s Laksamana Keumalahayati, the first female admiral in the (modern) world, who led the Inong Balee, an all-women army of widows (also a #HERstoryseapod episode!)

My #PlaylistSEA entry for today is from the LA-based purveyors of "Khmer Gamelan Goth Rave." (This music video also delivers every word in that phrase!)

This is Indradevi — founders Barong and Rangda intertwine Cambodian songwriting sensibilities with influences such as 1980’s action movie scores, industrial rock, drum & bass, and Indonesian gamelan music.

This standard party music for #filipinos in the provinces alongside the famous, Budots song.

Who knew Siakol could be used as dance music, right?

@amerika Oddly specific and yet! I do happen to be acquainted with some...

Linking here Punebre's homage to the "Manananggal" segment of the Filipino horror film, "Shake, Rattle & Roll" (1984).

Translating the song titles:
- Harana (serenade)
- Patay na ang Diyos (God is dead)
- Anita (the name of the titular Manananggal played by Irma Alegre)

I discovered Siti Sarah, sadly, too late. She was a Malaysian singer but passed away from #Covid19 during the earlier waves. It broke my heart that her family never got to say goodbye to her. Her husband shared a video of her hugging her kids before being wheeled to the hospital. This is a song she sang with her husband. A sad loss.

@rieaglenest hi and welcome! I used to watch a lot of nijisanji (mostly shu and kagami haha) but now I've fallen way behind and just watch clips orz I enjoy Honkai star rail and genshin impact too!

As you're from Indonesia, we have a growing SEA population on fedi! Besides the usual country tags, there's also #TootSEA, #PlaylistSEA and #MakanApaToday to find SEA folks~
