Barasuara

Barasuara is an Indonesian musical project that has steadily risen in popularity with its unique sound that embraces a fusion of rock, alternative, and a plethora of traditional Indonesian music elements. The brainchild of Iga Massardi, Barasuara was formed in 2015 and quickly captured the attention of music enthusiasts with its debut album "Taifun," establishing the band's reputation for thought-provoking lyrics and complex, layered instrumentals. Iga, formerly of the band The Trees and The Wild, brings his penchant for intricate guitar work and a passion for innovative soundscapes to the group, which includes notable talents such as Asteriska as a backing vocalist and Puti Chitara, who also provides vocal support.

The band's name, Barasuara, reflects their diverse influences and the rich tapestry of sounds they produce. "Bara" means ember, symbolizing passion and energy, while "Suara" means voice in Indonesian, together representing the band's fiery spirit and expressive musicality. Over the years, Barasuara has delivered a number of critically praised releases that include "Terbuang Dalam Waktu," "Memainkan Fana," and "Merayakan Fana," showcasing their ability to evolve and experiment while keeping their core musical identity intact. Their lyrical content frequently explores introspective themes, societal critiques, and philosophical musings, resonating with a broad audience that seeks deeper meaning in music. With an inclusive approach to creation, Barasuara's projects like "Pikiran dan Perjalanan" have been reinterpreted by various members—in this case by Iga Massardi, Asteriska, Puti Chitara, and Gerald Situmorang—each lending their unique perspective to the track, enriching the band's kaleidoscopic sound.
