Debut And Dul Jaelani Collaborate In Full Water Swimming, Drunk Again

Dust and Dul Jaelani (Ist)

JAKARTA - The gambus Debu group collaborated with Dul Jaelani in a single entitled 'Mabuk Lagi'. This song is an interpretation of feelings that are difficult to express, translated as a form of deep and spiritual love.

The syair of this song is rooted in Mustafa Debu's personal experience, which since childhood has been introduced to music by his father, Shaykh Fattaah. This song has become a metamorphosis of the melody he had heard of in his childhood, until now it has grown into a more mature work.

The collaboration process between Debu and Dul Jaelani began four years ago, when Mustafa expressed his admiration for Ahmad Dhani who was able to convey a message of divine love in the form that was widely accepted by the community. Kagum with how Ahmad Dhani forwarded the message to his children, Mustafa was honored to be working with Dul, who understood the essence of the message he wanted to convey in this song.

On the other hand, Dul also feels honored to be collaborating with the family of Dust, which has a long history in Sufi culture.

Single 'Mabuk Lagi' continues the message that Dust has brought since their first album. With a consistent theme, this song wants to continue to invite listeners to feel love in a deeper spiritual meaning. The hope is that this song can be an inspiration to every human heart. In addition, Dul also added that this collaboration brings gambus art and traditional music that must continue to be preserved as part of the rich culture of the archipelago.

Dust and Dul Jaelani also collaborated with director Deriel Sudiro to work on the music video. It is said that someone was confused, offered a drink until he looked drunk, but at the end of the story, it turned out that he only drank water. The message he wanted to convey was that the drunk he experienced actually came from within, not because of external factors.

In addition to the production team from Deriel Sudiro, this music video also involves several talents from family and friends, such as Burhan Al Daood, Yusuf Al Daood, Dezan Abimanyu, and the Sufi Dance Community from North Jakarta.

In terms of music production, this single was worked on by Mustafa Debu and Dul Jaelani as Music Producer, with Mustafa Debu as Composer and lyricist. Heldy Mahardika acts as Music Director and Arranger, while Mixing and Mastering processes are handled by Dj Sumantri alias Sumobeat at Livingroom Studio Jakarta.

With the release 'Mabuk Again', Debu and Dul Jaelani hope this song can touch the listeners' hearts and become a reminder that true love is something more than just an ordinary feeling.
