Jakarta, Indonesia plays host to people of various races, ethnic groups, countries, backgrounds, cultures, religions and political views, all who gather in the name of jazz. The language that unites them is jazz.
Dwiki Dharmawan started to learn piano at age 6. When Dwiki was 13 years old, he studying jazz piano practice from Elfa Secioria. In 1985, he formed Krakatau who has been most influential jazz group in late 80’s and 90’s. In 2000, . He has been known as the brilliant artist who geniously know how to blend the delightful color of various ethnical Indonesian musics from different tribes with the modern jazz. He knows exactly how to combine the traditional eastern with modern western instruments in exact amount. In 2007, Dwiki established a group, a phenomenal mega project may describe it better, consists of hundreds of the best musicians around the world by the name of World Peace Orchestra. He released one album and plenty of performances. Combining the world’s best talents in one ship presenting the beauty of art in music taking on some cultural music herritage in jazz fusion, the result is fantastic.
Still keeping his calling to preserve our traditional culture and heritage through music, for Java Jazz Festival 2011 Dwiki presented a new project with having Angklung (an Indonesian traditional instrument made out of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame) Jazz Ensemble. We should praise his consistent effort in preserving our ethnics to be heard out loud throughout the world.
Angklung of Indonesia confirmed by the UNESCO as world cultural heritage native to Indonesia. Angklung is a musical instrument made out of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have …a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held with one hand while the other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. Thus each of three or more angklung performers in an ensemble will play just one note and together complete melodies are produced. Angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but originated from Indonesia and it has been used and played by the Sundanese since the ancient times. “I will be presented my new “Multi-Cultural Jazz” amomg others : Mentawai Waves, Cublak Suweng, Jali-jali/Kicir-kicie, Dark Eyes, and Lamalera’s Dreams, the compositions with merges musical cultures and tradtions of Angklung and Jazz performed by prominent musicians from both sides ” said Dwiki Dharmawan.
