Suarasama

Suarasama is an Indonesian world music ensemble known for their hypnotic fusion of Sumatran and Malay traditions with a panoply of other global styles from Sufi to Middle Eastern. Together since the mid-'90s, they attained more widespread success and critical attention when American label Drag City reissued their album Fajar Di Atas Awan in 2008. The same label also reissued Suarasama's 2013 album, Timeline, a decade later in 2023. The band was formed in 1995 by husband-and-wife duo Irwansyah Harahap and Rithaony Hutajulu, both of whom work as musicologists at University of North Sumatra in Medan. With Harahap handling most of the stringed instruments (oud, guitar, gambus) and Hutajulu the vocals, Suarasama recorded 1998's Fajar Di Atas Awan for Radio France Internationale. Accompanied by various like-minded players, the album introduced the band's diverse mix of styles with loose, mesmerizing songs that extended well beyond their own cultural roots. Two more albums followed, with Rites of Passage appearing in 2002 and Lebah in 2008. Suarasama's profile was raised in late 2008 when Chicago's Drag City imprint reissued their debut to critical acclaim in the U.S. and parts of Europe. They continued to perform widely and released a fourth album, Timeline, in 2013. A year later, several of Suarasama's songs were included in the documentary film Un-common Sound: Song of Peace and Reconciliation. In 2023, to celebrate its tenth anniversary, Drag City reissued the band's fourth album Timeline.
