Of course, the Singapore music scene also had its own stars and starlets, which few of us have ever heard of:

And what does the modern music scene in Singapore sound like today? It’s all there, pop, cozy rock, metal. Very western style.

This song was recorded in 1999 by the band Aphelion in Singapore. Unfortunately, I have found very little information about the band.

A beautiful round trip to the sights of Singapore. One day is certainly very short if you want to see everything at your leisure. As an alternative to the subway route described below, there is a hop-on hop-off bus route. A double-decker bus whose upper level has no roof. A nice and relaxed way to get to know the city.

Jakarta
The metropolis Jakarta, located on the island of Java, is the capital of Indonesia and has around 10 million inhabitants. This makes Jakarta the largest city in Southeast Asia. Due to various problems in Jakarta, a new capital called Nusantara is being built on the island of Borneo, which is scheduled to be inaugurated in 2024.
Indonesia itself is largely part of the Asian continent, but its part on the island of New Guinea belongs to the Australian continent. The country is spread over a total of 17,508 islands with the main islands of Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and New Guinea. More than half of the population lives in Java. So there is a lot to discover.

A band that impressed me deeply is “Voice of Baceprot”. The group was founded in 2014 by singer and guitarist Firda Marsya Kurnia, bassist Widi Rahmawati and drummer Euis Siti Aisyah, initially as a cover band (Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers and other). Because of the contradiction between their music and their religious attitudes – all three members of the band wear a hijab when performing – the musicians were criticized by several conservative Muslims in their hometown, but received a lot of support from other circles. The musicians’ parents also initially forbade the girls to make music. Their desire to play music has helped them break traditional chains. Very remarkable.
