Here’s a little more bout KunoKini

—–

 started way back in 2003, when there
was an offer to go and play for “Folklore Festival” in Germany. Without
any hesitation we as students from University of Paramadina, which later
on decided to take the chance and so we went. Afterwards after we got
back home, what was supposed to be incidental became a habit. Then a
habit became a passion and finally became music with passion.Nowadays,
people play music with the standard of the west culture, using common
band instruments. In the other hand, we like to try something different,
something that people wouldn’t think about, with the roots of the
Indonesian music, we used traditional instruments to foreign traditional
instruments blend it all with the modern instruments and somehow we make
the music out of it. Combining traditional instruments with the music of
today, we create something that even more interesting, so that people can
enjoy, and at the same time feel the aroma of natural ethnic sound that
come out from the Indonesian percussion.Then came the name KunoKini which
we thought represents our music and our philosophy. The name itself
stands solid which literately Kuno means traditional and Kini means now.
With our vision and hope is to bring to surface a one of kind music,
introduce traditional instruments into a music, that traditional
instruments can also be used to make modern music, to remind people what
they have forgot which is ethnical music, to give a performance that
would stun and always be remembered.
