Just learned Jakarta in Muslim majority Indonesia hosts Southeast Asia’s largest annual metal festival. Check out metal band from Indonesia called Voice of Baceprot. Playing Glastonbury Festival in this global environment as Muslim women and in hijabs takes so much courage. Love their energy.

Inspired by System of a Down, they've been playing together for ten years. “We have heard that it rains a lot in England and, even when it is not raining, it is always drizzling,” Siti says, looking pained. They are also, she says with a grimace, “concerned about the food”. Omg I love them! 😂

Band metal yang digawangi tiga perempuan muda asal Garut, Jawa Barat, ini tampil pada Jumat (28/06) waktu setempat. Kala tiga personelnya, Firdda Marsya Kurnia (vokalis), Euis Siti Aisyah (drummer), dan Widi Rahmawati (bassist), mulai bermain musik metal sebagai kegiatan ekstra kurikuler di madrasah tempat mereka bersekolah 10 tahun lalu, mereka tak pernah menyangka bakal membuat sejarah bagi Indonesia di Festival Glastonbury dan berbagi panggung dengan penampil utama seperti Coldplay dan Dua Lipa.

"Sporting their signature Vans trainers and hijabs, Voice of Baceprot’s three members rocked the festival that draws around 200,000 fans annually, with their electrifying metal anthems." "For 10 years the trio had to battle deep-rooted stereotypes & prejudices to carve out a space for themselves."
