Work on Rock Campursari Songs, Hendra Ang U9 Collaborates with Artist Nur Bayan

Kapanlagi.com - Vocalist of the music group U9, Hendra Ang had the opportunity to collaborate with traditional Javanese artist whose song has become worldwide, namely Nur Bayan. They have worked together on a single titled Milih Dalan Liyene (Choosing Another Path). This song was chosen by Hendra Ang and Nur Bayan as the flagship song from the album Titik Terang.

This song has an oriental Mandarin flavor with the distinctive rock vocal range of Hendra Ang. The appeal and strength of the song Milih Dalan Liyene by Nur Bayan lies in its musical style.

"The music industry in the homeland needs to be presented with something new, something that has never been seen before. Especially in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the term 'stay-at-home' society needs musical entertainment," said Hendra Ang.

1. Pioneer of a New Genre

It can be said that Hendra Ang and Nur Bayan pioneered the genre of campursarock music (a combination of campur sari and rock). Overall, this album, consisting of 7 songs, is conceptually called "Jawa Oriental Campursarock". The synergy between Hendra Ang and Nur Bayan is inseparable from the role of Yudi, the owner of the production house LUV Over Kreasi, whose vision is to globalize the works of musicians from Kediri.

"That's why the first single 'Milih Dalan Liyene' is present in society through mobile phones (YouTube and other platforms as well as streaming). Hopefully, in the future, this released music work will be able to grasp the world, of course through digital applications worldwide," he said.

Regarding the project of the album Titik Terang, Hendra Ang explained that he and Nur Bayan are long-time friends as fellow musicians. The difference is that Hendra Ang is active in rock music, while Nur Bayan is famous in traditional music.

"Then there is another friend named Yudi who has been active in the entertainment industry in Kediri, and finally the three of us synergized, resulting in this album," he said.

Nur Bayan certainly has hopes for the release of his collaboration project with Hendra Ang. "Yes, hopefully this work will become a One Stop Entertainment for the Indonesian and international music industry that loves and appreciates Javanese culture, of course from Kediri, one of the music creator cities in Indonesia," said Nur Bayan.

Hendra Ang is known as a national rocker after he and his band, U9, became the champion of the Festival Rock se-Indonesia IX according to Log Zhelebour. The music video for the song Milih Dalan Liyene can already be enjoyed through the YouTube channel of LUV Over Kreasi.
