Dwiki Dharmawan

Dwiki Dharmawan is an Indonesian jazz fusion maestro and cultural ambassador whose music blends intricate traditional Southeast Asian instrumentation with contemporary jazz, progressive rock, and global rhythms. Rising to fame as a founding member of the groundbreaking 1980s/90s band Krakatau, he pioneered *world music* before it became a genre tag, weaving Sundanese gamelan scales and rhythms into electrifying compositions. His solo career and collaborations (like the World Peace Orchestra track listed) highlight his knack for merging spiritual themes, social consciousness, and virtuosic keyboard work, often featuring collaborations with international artists.

Recent releases like *Ode Untuk Palestina* and *The Spirit of Peace* reflect his lifelong focus on unity and humanitarianism, while tracks like *Cari Pacar Lagi* showcase his playful, accessible side rooted in Indonesian pop traditions. Whether crafting peace anthems or experimenting with kolintang (Indonesian xylophone) duets, Dwiki remains a bridge between archipelago heritage and global jazz innovation, always with a warm, crowd-connecting energy.
