Ali & Charif Megarbane - Tirakat - LP

Indonesian–Arab Jazz-Funk Collaboration, Recorded in Berlin

Recorded over an intense three-day window in Berlin, Tirakat brings together Charif Megarbane and the Jakarta-based band Ali. Their collaboration builds on a long, organic history of musical exchange between Indonesia and the Arab world, blending shared references, improvisation, and years of band experience. The title — rooted in both Arabic and Javanese traditions — captures discipline, journey, and the layering of influences that shaped the album.
