Candra Darusman Releases Physical Album 'Detik Waktu #2', Features Vocals from Dian Sastro to Ardhito

Kapanlagi.com - Senior musician Candra Darusman presents his best work again through the release of the album Detik Waktu #2 – The Journey of Candra Darusman's Works. This compilation album is a continuation of Detik Waktu (2018) and is now available in physical format (CD) distributed through hundreds of KFC outlets across Indonesia.

This collaboration is realized through the partnership of Signature Music Indonesia with Jagonya Musik & Sport Indonesia (JMSI), featuring a total of 13 songs created by Candra, performed by various musicians across generations.

Executive Producer of Signature Music Indonesia, Panji Prasetyo, emphasizes that physical format remains important amidst the streaming trend. According to him, CDs provide a more complete and profound music experience.

1. Worked on Since 2020

"Currently, Generation Z and also Generation Alpha... are used to enjoying music through streaming. But this habit skips an important aspect of enjoying music, which is holding the physical music, the cover design, the song lyrics, and the information about the music," said Panji at the launch in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (25/6/2025).

This album has been in the works since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, involving big names such as Nikita Dompas, Dipha Barus, Sri Hanuraga, and Rino Darusman, Candra's own child. They rearranged old songs and introduced two new works: Waktuku Hampa and Perjumpaan Kita.

"Because fundamentally, Mas Candra Darusman is a jazz musician. Therefore, we interpret jazz music in its various colors in this album," said Nikita Dompas.

2. A Nostalgia Event

The lineup of vocalists involved in this project is also astonishing. There are Ardhito Pramono, Dian Sastrowardoyo, Sandhy Sondoro, Efek Rumah Kaca, and Bilal Indrajaya. They all bring a new flavor to Candra's legendary songs.

Detik Waktu #2 is not only a nostalgia event for the 80s generation, but also a musical bridge for the younger generation to get to know the maestro's works through contemporary arrangements and cross-genre collaborations.
