Iwan Fals

Iwan Fals is an iconic Indonesian singer-songwriter born on September 3, 1961 in Jakarta. Known for his gritty ballads and political satire, Fals rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s with songs that often critiqued social and political issues in Indonesia. His music blends folk and rock styles, with lyrics that resonate strongly with working class Indonesians. Some of his most famous songs include "Oemar Bakri" about the struggles of teachers and "Bento" which criticized government corruption. Though his overtly political songs became less frequent after Indonesia's transition to democracy in the late 1990s, Fals remains a beloved figure in Indonesian music.
