Iwan Fals - Ngalor Ngidulnya, Volume 4 (2021)

Indonesian singer-songwriter Iwan Fals is one of my favorite musicians, so I'm going to keep posting some of his music here, even though there may only be a handful of people who appreciate it. It really helps to be able to speak Indonesian to understand his excellent lyrics (something I kind of used to be able to speak... now, not so much).

This is the fourth of five volumes of home recordings Fals posted on YouTube during the peak months of the Covid pandemic. Like all the music in this series, it's just him and his acoustic guitar, singing only in Indonesian, drawing from his deep catalog of original material. If you liked the previous ones, you'll like this one too.

This album is one hour long.

  1. "used to be able to speak..." Indonesian... ?
    There must be a story behind that. Please share.
    Please?

    1. I lived in Indonesia for two years in the 1990s, and learned the language then. That was a long time ago, so my language skills have gotten very rusty. I still know the lyrics of my favorite Iwan Fals songs though.
