Iwan Fals (born Virgiawan Listanto; 3 September 1961 in Jakarta) is an Indonesiansinger–songwriter. In 2002, Time magazine named him as a Great Asian Hero. His musical style has been said to be pop, rock, country, and folk pop and his lyrics tell a lot of dark times from the 1970s to 1980s in the political field.^[1]

Early life[edit]

Iwan was born Virgiawan Listanto in Jakarta, on 3 September 1961 to Harsoyo, a soldier,^[2] and Lies Suudijah. He studied at SMP Negeri 5 Bandung and SMAK BPK Bandung. He continued his studies at Sekolah Tinggi Publisistik and then Institut Kesenian Jakarta. At the age of thirteen, he appeared as a street musician in small wedding ceremonies and other social events.^[3]

Career[edit]

While he was 18, Iwan Fals, Toto Gunarto, Helmi, Bambang Bule and Kakek Jagonk formed a group named Amburadul. The group released the album 'Perjalanan' in 1979, which was not successful, but was re-released with the added track '3 Bulan' as '3 Bulan' (1980) in 1980. The group disbanded and played no further role in Iwan Fals' career.

As part of his early career, Iwan Fals also recorded some comedy albums, after winning a comedy country singing contest. He sang of comic situations and themes, and his first release was on 'Canda Dalam Nada' (the A-side featured five songs by Iwan: Generasi Frustrasi, Dongeng Tidur, Imitasi, Kisah Sepeda Motorku (aka. Kopral), and Joni Kesiangan while the B-side consisted of songs by Tom Slepe and Pusaka Jaya). The songs Dongeng Tidur, Joni Kesiangan and Kisah Sepeda Motorku were released, with one new song, Ambulance Zig Zag, on the Iwan Fals mini-album Canda Dalam Nada, while Generasi Frustrasi and Imitasi were also included on the 'Yang Muda Yang Bercanda II' multiartist comedy compilation.

During this time, Iwan supported himself by busking.

1981 saw Iwan Fals' breakthrough, when he signed to Musica Studio to record his first solo album, Sarjana Muda. This album shows Iwan Fals' signature country music style, with the protest song 'Guru Oemar Bakrie', which talks of how a teacher is poorly paid but still responsible for educating future well-paid and successful people. 'Guru Oemar Bakrie' became very well known and popular in Indonesia, and helped established Iwan's name. The album also contains several ballads. It benefited from considerable investment by Musica Studio, who used high-quality musicians and producer for the album.

1982's Opini, also on Musica Studio, cemented Iwan's reputation as a protest singer, but also as a balladeer. 'Galang Rambu Anarki', for his newborn son, combined both elements, commenting on both the happy event of the birth of his first child, but also commenting on rising prices, saying that perhaps his child would be malnourished if they could not afford to buy milk.

1983 saw the release of Sumbang, while 1984's album releases were Barang Antik and Sugali.

In April 1984, Iwan was arrested and questioned for two weeks after performing the songs 'Demokrasi Nasi' and Mbak Tini, both songs never recorded on album, in Pekanbaru. The song Mbak Tini was about a prostitute with a road-side coffee shop, married to 'Soeharyo' (Suharto).^[4] The events were retold on the song '14-4-84' on 1986's Ethiopia.

Iwan Fals continued to release albums throughout the 1980s, while in 1989 he formed the group Swami, which released two albums Swami I in 1989, and Swami II in 1991. A similar grouping was Kantata Takwa, which contained several Swami personnel. The musical style was 'rebana rock', a blend of Jimi Hendrix and Rick Wakeman, to a Betawi rebana.^[5] The album Kantata Takwa was released in 1990, featuring songs such as 'Bento' and 'Bongkar' ('Rip It Down'), two of several songs which they sang during a demonstration by college students.^[6]

Up to the release Orang Gila in 1994, Iwan had released approximately two new albums per year for 15 years. Since 1994, he has greatly reduced his release schedule, putting out only two singles in 1995, and one in 1996, while in 1998 Kantata Samsara, the second and final album by Kantata Takwa, was released.

To make up for the lack of new content, a number of Iwan Fals compilations were released in the 1990s and 2000s, including Best Of The Best, Akustik (3 volumes), and Salam Reformasi ('Greetings Reformation'), which sold more than 50,000 copies.^[7]

In 2002, Iwan Fals released his first new solo album since 1994, Suara Hati.^[8] In 2003 the album 'In Collaboration With' was released consisting of performances with other Indonesia artists. Manusia Setengah Dewa, in 2004, was a solo album.

In 2005, he released Iwan Fals In Love, essentially a compilation of existing Iwan Fals romantic recordings, but with the new song 'Ijinkan Aku Menyayangimu' ('Let Me Love You') as the main single, and five re-recordings of old songs.^[9] Two songs, in collaboration with Indra Lesmana, Haruskah Pergi, and Selancar, were released as digital download in 2006.

In 2007, 50:50 was released by Musica Studios. The album's themes were romance and social criticism. One single of the album, 'Pulanglah' ('Go Home'), tells about the death of Munir.^[10] Six singles were written by himself and other six singles were written by his fellow musicians.^[9] Two songs were released in 2009 as Untukmu Terkasih.

Album Koes Plus

In 2010, he released Keseimbangan, and in 2011 he released a new album titled 'Tergila-gila' with 4 new songs inside.

OI[edit]

He has a large fan club which is called OI (stylised as lowercase oi), he stated 'Oi is not [actually] Orang Indonesia, so there are many friends (fans) whose faces I recognise, but [I] can't remember their names.' He started calling his fans who often come to his house to listen his free acoustic live performance with 'Oi' which literally means 'Hey'.^[11] Thus, the fans derived OI as the name of the fan club and made it as an abbreviation from Orang Indonesia (Indonesian People) as the acronym must contain a meaning. The idea of naming Orang Indonesia came from Iwan Fals' foundation, Yayasan Orang Indonesia (Indonesian People Foundation). OI is now led by his wife and running under the management of PT. Tiga Rambu (limited liability company).^[12]

Oi was made as the reflection of his passed-away son, and to become the father of his fans.

Lyrical themes[edit]

Iwan Fals has been compared with Bob Dylan, who was one of his key influences, both on his early style, which made heavy use of the harmonica, and on his lyrics, which have frequently been in the protest song genre.

For instance, 'Kamu Sudah Gila' ('You've Gone Crazy') and 'Apa Kamu Sudah Jadi Tuhan?' ('Have You Become God?') criticised the New Order regime.

Other songs are more observational, but still could be seen as political. For instance, his song Galang Rambu Anarki, written for his newborn son, talks of being too poor to raise his son, while 'Kembang Pete' ('Stinkbean Flower') tells the story of the underestimated poor.^[2] 'Aku Bosan' ('I'm Bored') is about a child protesting to his parents because they left him alone at home. While 'Hura-Hura Huru-Hara' ('Fake Riot') compares moneylender to blood-sucking vampires.^[13]

The 1988 song (and album) '1910', which could be interpreted as referring to the year 1910, was actually a reference to the date 19 October, the date, in 1987, of the Bintaro train crash, a disaster the song documents in observational style. 'Celoteh Camar Tolol dan Cemar', on 1983's Sumbang, documented the sinking of the Tampomas II ship in Masalembu.

Aside from his observational protest songs, Iwan Fals is known for his love songs, which include 'Yang Terlupakan' ('The Forgotten'), 'Mata Indah Bola Pingpong' ('Beautiful Pingpong Ball Eyes'), 'Antara Kau, Aku, dan Bekas Pacarmu' ('Among You, Me, and Your ex-lover'), and 'Pesawat Tempurku' ('My Jet Fighter').

Although a songwriter, Iwan Fals' status as one of Indonesia's leading rock/pop performers has led to his recording material from numerous other songwriters. Some of his most notable hits written by others include Barang Antik ('Antique'), 'Kemesraan' ('Intimacy'), 'Kumenanti Seorang Kekasih' ('I'm Waiting for a Lover'), 'Aku Bukan Pilihan' ('I'm Not an Option') and 'Ijinkan Aku Menyayangimu' ('Let Me Love You').^[14]

Personal life[edit]

On 1 January 1982, Fals' first son, Galang Rambu Anarki was born. One of Fals' best-known songs, Galang Rambu Anarki, was written for his son's birth and released on 1982's Opini (Opinion) album. Galang was following in his father's footsteps playing in a band from a young age as a guitarist and folk musician, but he died aged only 15, on 25 April 1997 of either a morphine overdose or asthma. 'Galang Rambu Anarki' translates to 'support the sign of anarchy' in English.^[15][16]

In 1985, Fals' first daughter Annisa Cikal Rambu Basae was born.^[17] His third child is Rayya Rambu Robbani.^[9] He and Rosanna, his wife live in Cibubur, West Java.^[6]

When Alan Bishop becomes obsessed with something, he often goes to great lengths (and travels great distances) to turn that obsession into an essential artifact. Such is the case with his latest group’s Sub Pop debut, Koes Barat, a sincere, gripping tribute to a band of Indonesian brothers—the Koeswoyos—whose instantly catchy garage-rock songs and ridiculously charming ballads caused a sensation in their homeland, Singapore, and Malaysia. Guitar rig 5 pro presets download free. They also made their government very uneasy: Basing your look on Western musicians and covering Beatles songs were considered subversive activities in mid-’60s Indonesia.

Back in 2010, Sun City Girls legend Bishop asserted his fandom of Koes Bersaudara (aka Koes Plus) with two archival releases of their music on his and Hisham Mayet’s Sublime Frequencies label. But that noble gesture wasn’t enough to sate Bishop’s appreciation of this music that flourished from the mid ’60s to 1970. He also felt an overwhelming urge to interpret what he felt to be the best Koes tunes. To that end, he enlisted some of his favorite musicians in the Spoils—guitarist Milky Burgess, drummer Don McGreevy, and bassist Jim Davis—all of whom also play or played with Seattle ethnodelic shapeshifters Master Musicians Of Bukkake. All were eager to tackle these durable, desirable compositions and super-producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Marisa Nadler) worked the boards. Koes Barat was cut in less than a week of sessions, and the results hit your ears with a revelatory smack. It is the most immediate and, forgive the loaded word, fun collection that the prolific Bishop has ever auteured.

“This was an informal project for me,” Bishop says. “I just wanted to do it without thinking of it as an album… I brought rough mixes of the songs to Jakarta and played them on various radio stations and then I played them for Koes Plus. All my Indonesian friends were very supportive (laughing/charmed by my ‘creative’ pronunciation of the Bahasa lyrics), even the Koeswoyos were amazed how vintage the production sounded.”

Koes Barat starts with the startling “Kelelewar (The Bats),” a raucous, rampaging garage-rock anthem with cowbell and Bishop wailing in emphatic John Lydon-goes-to-Bali mode. Another highlight is “Pent Juri Hati (Heart Stealer),” which rages with the fuzzed-out orneriness of the Monks’ “I Hate You.” The psychedelic guitar freakout near the end feels like being hit with liquid LSD by a Super Soaker. By contrast, “Kisah Sedih Di Hari Minggu (Sunday Sad Story)” is a beautiful, sentimental ballad with a moving, muted-orange organ drone, and shaken up by passages of quirky, prog-rock time signatures and non-Western tonalities.

Discussing his backing band, Bishop observes, “We all get along so well and the trio has the ability to effortlessly jump in that time machine and land in 1967, 1969, or 1971. Truly, they do it as well as anyone I’ve ever seen. A lot of musicians think it’s pretty easy to do, but it’s not. It has to be effortless and natural. And Randall’s engineering is superb on this; not sure if anyone else could have done it as well.”

As Bishop is one of the most worldly musicians working today, a man with extremely far-ranging and refined taste, one may wonder why he decided to devote so much creative energy to Koes Bersaudara, of all bands. “I was seduced by their sound and developed a total obsession with the band, their history, and their music, finding the time in Indonesia over the years to further that obsession amidst all the other projects I was working on there.

“It’s difficult to explain,” Bishop continues, “but I’m certainly not the only one—there are many millions of fans in Indonesia. I spend the same amount of time or more with many other musical entities I am obsessed with; it’s a way of life and I suppose I have the capacity to be obsessed with many things.”

Bishop’s initial impression upon listening to Koes Bersaudara/Koes Plus occurred in 1989; hearing the gorgeous, swayingly wistful “Hidup Yang Sepi” (included on Koes Barat) “completely destroyed me. Yeah, it’s a ballad (I love ballads), but there was something about the voices, harmonies, and arrangement that made it impossible to forget. Upon investigating their music over the years, I realized there was so much more. There was the beauty of the melodies they write—simple yet clever—and their mid to late-’60s garage and psych tracks, more great ballads, their two ‘Hard Beat’ records from the mid-’70s, their Indonesian-styled albums (Pop Melayu/Keroncong/ Qasidah/Pop Jawa/Instrumentalia), the diversity of their ideas and relentless recording of albums during their most inspired period from the early 1960s through the late ’70s.”

Bishop’s Koes infatuation intensified in 2006 when he attended one of their live shows and joined the Koes Plus fan club of Indonesia—a first for him. He collected all the music, and began hitting Koes Plus cover band shows in several cities in Java. Bishop estimates that over 60 such bands exist on the island of Java alone.

While Bishop admires and is inspired by the Koeswoyo brothers’ courage to make this kind of “forbidden” music while in the grip of an oppressive government, he ultimately returns to the band’s “amazing songs, their longevity in continuing to challenge themselves to continue producing/recording album after album over decades. But it all comes back to the melodies and group harmonies… it’s what makes the Beatles, early Bee Gees, and the Kinks songs so powerful. And Tonny Koeswoyo (and eventually Yon, Yok, and Murry) tapped into that elusive ability to write great pop songs with a unique, identifiable style that are timeless. And of course there are many, many more than are included on this record.”

What does Bishop think 21st-century listeners can gain from this music? “I think this music stands the test of time. Their Indonesian fan base turns over from generation to generation, always increasing in number. They are perhaps the most popular and recognizable Indonesian music group of all time. Whatever can be learned or gained from this music is not my concern. People either get it or they don’t. I love them to death and if this album can turn more people on to the Koes Bersaudara/Koes Plus legacy, even better.” —Dave Segal
