Banda Neira

Banda Neira is an Indonesian indie folk duo that's been crafting warm, heartfelt tunes since emerging in the early 2010s. Formed by real-life partners Ananda Badudu and Irfan Apriyanto, their music blends cozy acoustic arrangements with poetic lyrics exploring growth, resilience, and quiet emotional truths—themes echoed in recent releases like "Tumbuh dan Menjadi" (Grow and Become) and "Yang Patah Tumbuh, Yang Hilang Berganti" (What Breaks Grows, What's Lost Replaces). With their signature mix of ukulele, guitar, and soothing harmonies, they've become darlings of Indonesia's indie scene, often compared to cozy late-night conversations between close friends. Their stripped-down, storytelling approach has earned them a devoted following who connect deeply with their honest reflections on life's gentle struggles and silver linings.
