This time to Bandung, the capital of Sunda, West Java. There he met up with some of the finest young players of the distinctive sounds of Sundanese music and had a jolly good time for five days. This CD contains seven tracks presenting an eclectic mix of musical influences distilled through a Sundanese filter plus the bonus track "Habibeh" which was recorded in Jakarta and adds a final touch of Dangdut to this unique : album / mess / masterpiece / thing.
