Dwiki Dharmawan Talks About The Main Problem Of Genre World Music In Indonesia

JAKARTA - Dwiki Dharmawan also highlighted the phenomenon of Indonesian music which is said to have a cultural wealth that cannot be used as inspiration.

As a musician who carries the world music genre, Dwiki sees many developments in various regions. Many local musicians began to make combinations between traditional music and modern music.

However, the main problem encountered by local musicians is the lack of ability to produce musical works in the form of good recordings.

"What needs to be lifted is that in those areas the obstacles that I see, if they record it, they don't know how the recording is good, how about the good mastering, to be feasible on digital platforms," said Dwiki Dharmawan in Gambir, Central Jakarta recently.

Dwiki said the need for regional musicians to receive training is not only about musical technicalities, but also how to make good music. That way, musicians can be more independent in music.

Furthermore, the frontman of the Krakatau music group also mentioned the need for a system capable of distributing music produced by regional musicians.

"Next is how to get into the aggregator so they can enter platforms like Spotify. You can't sporadic on one by one, you have to go through the platform," he said.

For Dwiki, music production in Indonesia will be much better if each region is able to run independently. Currently, he sees that the national music industry is still too focused on Jakarta.

"That way, their creativity will increase, so that this music is not centered in Jakarta, the industry. What needs to be done is that they can do these industrial standards in their respective regions," concluded Dwiki Dharmawan.
