Javasounds hopes to serve as the finest and most reliable introduction to the enchanting music of Java Indonesia. These new and high quality recordings are an ideal way to hear (and see!) many of Java’s most tantalizing performers. Some of these performers found here are internationally recognized, while others are virtually unknown, yet both play timeless Indonesian music. Hear hours of music by clicking any album to the left.
Your donation of $1 per album directly supports both our continuing development of world class recordings from around the globe and the musicians involved. Our goal is to provide a rich sampling of the music that has defined, and continues to define, Indonesia’s prolific and varied culture. We’re trying to raise money to get our non-profit under way, so every dollar makes a difference.
For just a $10 donation you’ll receive the entire Javasounds 12-Album Series! Whether you musically lean towards folk, pop, psychedelic, or experimental, there’s something here for you. See some album suggestions!
