Les Disques bongo Joe release a brand new 7'' of Nusantara Beat featuring the previously-released-digital-only single Mang Becak and a new killer track! For their third collaboration with Bongo Joe, the Amsterdam-based band reinvents two gems of Indonesian music on this 7’’. Through these tracks, Nusantara Beat fuses traditional sounds with modernity, breathing new life into timeless classics.

On Side A, Sifat Manusia, inspired by Indonesian folklore, delves into the depth and richness of the human soul, delivered through a vibrant and captivating performance. On the B-side, Mang Becak pays tribute to 1970s Sunda Pop and the iconic track by One Dee Group, reimagined with a modern groove and irresistible energy. By blending psychedelic textures, folkloric rhythms, and boundless creativity, Nusantara Beat transports us into the unique atmosphere of Bandung, balancing respect for musical heritage with contemporary innovation. This new 7’’ is a complete immersion into the singular universe of the band, celebrating the diversity and richness of Indonesian culture.
