After a year of intense historical and artistic research and development, Jiwa Jiwa and Peace Freedom are happy to announce that Soundwriters: The Incomplete Guide to Indonesian Diaspora Music (1969-1989) is finally seeing the light of day.
A series of essays that intertwine personal reflection, identity, colonial history, and the musical tapestry of diasporas from the archipelago. The journey culminates in a catalog of sixty-two titles that reveal the breadth and richness of the sounds these artists created.
