Show Notes
On the show this time, it’s the Indonesian funk of Ali.
Ali formed in 2021, playing 70s soul, disco, and afrobeat with elements of Arabic and middle eastern music. They released their first single “Dance, Habibi” that same year. They followed up with their debut album Malaka in 2023 on Anukara records. Embracing the connection between Indonesian and Arabic culture, they explored the overlapping music, fashion, and textiles, which led to the name of their latest self-released EP, Patterns.
