Bingkai Karya-Indonesian music legend Iwan Fals has collaborated with Irfan Hakim to present their latest album, “Genjrengan Iwan & Irfan – Aviary Live Session.” This album is a reinterpretation of Iwan Fals’ iconic songs with a deep, live session feel, offering a more intimate and personal listening experience.
The latest single from Iwan Fals and Irfan Hakim, titled “Hmmm,” tells a musical journey that vividly captures the essence of an experience within an aviary. The song is not just about music but also reflects the calm and complex beauty of nature found in aviaries. Through “Hmmm,” Iwan Fals and Irfan Hakim aim to remind us of the importance of protecting the nature.
Iwan Fals and Irfan Hakim have been friends for a long time, meeting often at TV events. Their collaboration on this project started with a conversation two years ago when Irfan shared his idea about the Aviary project. This led to a special afternoon where Iwan visited Irfan, and their families also played a big role in making the album happen.
The album features reworked versions of Iwan Fals’ well-loved songs. Tracks like “Isi Rimba Tak Ada Tempat Berpijak Lagi” reflect on deforestation and the loss of wildlife habitats, while “Ujung Aspal Pondok Gede” reminisces about how development has changed suburban landscapes. “Yang Terlupakan” expresses nostalgia for the past, and “Sore Tugu Pancoran” paints a picture of urban life around a historical monument. “Pesawat Tempurku” blends love with social critique, and “Kemesraan” celebrates friendship and togetherness.
Overall, the “Aviary Live Session” album offers a new and emotionally rich experience of Iwan Fals’ timeless music, now available on digital platforms for fans to enjoy in a more personal way.
