It's always worth hearing class explorations in music as brought to you by Dewa Budjana. Here, you can find out for free - but it's well worth taking the punt on the $15 offer.

A great taste of modern instrumental music from Indonesia. Not to mention the monster musicians that collaborate with Dewa.
Favorite track: Duaji & Guruji (Surya Namasakar, 2014).

I don't know much about Indonesian music culture... but I do know that it comprises some highly creative artists in the rock genre, largely unknown over here in Europe. This isn't the first time an album from Indonesia leaves me stunned with open mouth. Dewa Budjana creates enjoyable, playful fusion music with folk influences, plus some Allan Holdsworth and even Zappa feeling.
Favorite track: Temple Island (Home, 2005).
